6 FERN HARDEMA Fern Hardeman, Clinton Loon story. He is an authority on the ca forty-one rose bushes of twenty-si: ...;n 1? ^4 it.:. c * will ut ai liifii utfi^iu ill ot'pien In my opinion the rose is the world's favorite flower. Geological records indicate that it was here before man. It will disappear only with the passing of man. Most of the roses we know today are either Tea or Hybrid tea roses. Strangely enough they neither look like tea. smell like tea. taste like tea, nor have any apparent connection with tea. But actually they were brought from China during the middle ages by tea merchants, hence the name tea roses. They have been earned anything ranging fro,- the outlandish, such as Madame Chochet-Chochet to the ordinary such as William R. Smith. They have been named after places such as Los Angeles and things like Careless Love. Roses are easy to grow. Any soil that will produce vegetables will produce roses. There are a few basic rules to follow as with any thing you undertake. First buy good hardy plants, secondly dig a washtub size hole.

SPINNING 3rd Shift By Gaynell Cunningham Mr. and Mrs. R. E. Martin and daughter spent their vacation in Florida and also the mountains.

' Rosarian" i Fixer is author of the following ire and growing of roses. Fern has x varieties in his back yard. They iber. with good soil and compost. rse sure that you don't plant them too deep and in dry weather, water generously. Another important thing to remember is that roses thrive on attention and admiration. Therefore if you fail to admire and care for your rose it will languish and loose the will to bloom. Once in a while in anything that grows nature decides to do things differently. This may show up in a ro.'.e as a white bloom on a bush that ordinarily bears only red roses. This is called a "spot" and is every rose grower's fondest dream. For if the red bush is a good hardy plant then you are in business. By budding the stem with the white bloom you can produce a good hardy white rose, which, so far, just doesn't exist and rose experts will pay plenty for this rare plant. However this is about as likely as finding the Hope Diamond in your own front yard. But like all rose enthusiasts I keep hoping.
