AHHLEY. ro / MERITS OF- DIFFERENT ROSES. Prominent Florist Considers Roses from a Grower's Standpoint. In a paper on roses, read by Mr Edwin onsdale.of Philadelphia,Pa.,at thp fourth anual meeting of the Society of Ameriin Florists, the following information of ractical interest to rose growers was iven: American Beauty is perhaps the lost remarkable rose on the liflt. A rose f its size, form and fragrance, and at 10 same time a perpetual bloomer, is a reat stride onward. It was introduced > tho American puolic just when the .rge hybrid perpetual rose had become i?hionjihlft. and flower buvers wanted lese at all seasons of the year. Ameri111 Beauty is obtainable from January to sptember. It will stand much heat and loisture when in good health, and seems > do better the third year after planting it than the first. The plan of bending )wn the shoots seems to be the best for lis rose. It causes flowering shoots to reak from the base which generally prolice fine blooms. No rose ever crcated so much attention t this country as the William F. Bennett, i has been one of the most valuable roses itroduced into our list of winter bloomig sorts for a number of years. It is a ird rose to get started on account of its ee blooming tendency, but by persistent isbudding, when planted no more than iree or four inches deep in rich, light >11 on a well drained table, it is one of le most profitable varieties grown. It squires more heat than most of the teas, id seems to improve in constitution each sar. Catherine Mermet commands the adliration of every one who sees it. Its elicate coloring, fragrance and exquisite )rm have made it a deserved favorite, nfrrtunately everybody cannot grow it ro'itably. It requires special treatment ) bring out its paying qualities, and is ery much inclined to run to blind wood grown in too light a soil. It prefers a ither stiff, though porous, soil, for no )se is more impatient of excessive moislre at the roots, and a night temperaire of not higher than 55 degs. produces ae finest flowers. The Bride is a sprout from the last named ariety, being identical with it, excepting 1 color, which is white. It has estabshed itself as one of the best white jses we have. Of course, it does not jmpare with the Puritan when at its est, nor with Niphet.os ?for productiveess, but it can generally be depended pon to bring a fair price when delivered 1 good condition. It has almost entirely isplaced Cornelia Cook, and will hold ;s own for some time to come. Niphetos, , has been said, will be grown when all ae white roses now in cultivation have een forgotten. This is perhaps going a ttle too far, but it goes to show in what 3teem this rose is held. Much was hoped :om the Puritan, and these hopes had jme foundation, but experience has emonstrated that the majority of the lany buds formed produce imperfect lossoms. After the experience of last inter it cannot be placed on the list of jses likely to prove profitable. The adent of the now somewhat old and famous erle des Jardins marked a new era in >se culture. It will bo a long time be>re the Perle is superseded, ana, for genral purposes, it remains one of the best 0 nave, nowever, it is true uu? some f our very best growers do not find it rofitable, because of so many flowers jming malformed. It is believed bj )me florists to require a more porous soil lan most varieties do, and a night temerature of from 60 to 65 degs. Papa Gontier has not been in general ixltivation sufficiently long for all grow:s to learn its requirements thoroughly ? to bring out its good qualities. That has established itself as a favorite mong flower buyers there is no doubt. ,s long stems and good foliage would ive it high rank, even if its tine color ere not so desirable. The tendency to so its leaves in winter, however, is jainst it, and if this tendency can be rercome it must be considered a first ass variety. t La France bounded into popular favor lddenly as a wiuter bloomer. Its adaptbility for forcing must have been disjvere'd about the time Mr. Bennett's ybrid Teas were introduced, to which ass La France undoubtedly belongs. It a great favorite with all flower lovers, id, generally speaking, profitable to the rower. Bon Silene is a very old favorite, and is ;ill one of the most profitable varieties l many localities. Its fresh pink color id ideal shape commends it to all flower vers, and its productiveness will keep on the list for some time to come. Take Care of the Carriage. The safest way to guard against blisters l panels and the cracking of the varnish l carriages is to be careful about how le vehicle is subjected to either rain or sat. If caught in a shower, have a lamoia 6kin with you; It will not take dry long to dry tho surface oft, and then du are sure you are running no risks. If impelled to stand any length of time in 10 sun, turn the carriage around once in while, so as to allow the sides to cool .tcrnately. Nover allow the carriage to :and in the coach house near a window, aless you have a cover for the exposed irts or curtains on the windows, and jove all do not cool your carriage off > too wMlft it la heated, bv dashing ater over it in that condition; let it cool 7 gradually by standing in a shady place, : at least until you can bear your hand i it without almost burning it. The jason is that the varnish and paint aro jftened up so that the sudden reaction ill be very likely to cause them to crack, not to flake off altogether. Water i lould never bo allowed to dry on a carrije, either by the action of the sun or ;mospherG, but should bo driad off with chamois. Things Worth Knowing. The dust bath is the toilet of the hen. Keep tools handy and in good condion. A ration cf equal part3 bran and corn .eal is good for tho growing hogs. i Georgia farmera cultivate tho Spanish janut extensively as food fcr hoge. Sheep ore better scavengers fcr small, oripe, wormy apple3 than swino are, it claimed. It is claimed that every year sees an in- > ease in the number of farmers who pick i >rn for jeed as soon as it is glazed. i A good top dressing of manuro oa tho ' ttle knolls and poor spots of tho field iter winter grain is sown will havo a ae effect. ' Wash dairy utensils, pans, pails and , its carefully with cold water, in which a little salt or soda; then rinse, and loroughly scald with hot water. French farmers report very beneficial i :sults from tho use of copperas solution 3 a manuro on strawberries, pears, let- i ico, peas, beaus, carrots and vines. When in the church of Jesus Christ . fices and stations are intrigued i r and won by wire-pulling and i g-rolling, it is evident that the spirit auti-Christ is enthroned instead of , le Spirit of Christ. ,,ti 4 - 1 ? m./v ?*?s11 wam i >v nen we gei 10 ueaveu wc wm nuu ;r, with the first taste of heavenly y, that we ever had a moment's ( dness with all this blessedness in : iticipation.

W. W. BRADLEY, Auditor, A. C. Jan, 22, 13(H), tt ??? ????? Potato Cnltnrc. | A f- The North Carolina AgriculturalExperiment station instituted extensive inquiries concerning potato culture in the South, and the result is ? given in the following questions and nip n answers: " Wishing to add to our own expels rience that of practical cultivators in " various sections, we addressed acircular letter to a large number of market e gardeners in the South, scattered from lt Florida to Virginia, in which we asked the following questions : M 26 Question 1. To what extent do you L r" use second-crop potatoes for spring w _ plauting? lo Out of the 35 replies received all of D Sj the sections named, 26 growers said ^ a. they used the fall-grown potatoes o at exclusively for spring planting. Three answered that they plauied most of their crop with the homegrown seed; K one that ne planted about one-third bis >r crop with them ; one used them very, n little, and two said they have never f Vi om s I Question 2. How do they compare ^ for this purpose with Northern-grown J .seed ? ' To this question the unanimous an- Pg swer of all who have used the fallgrown seed is that they are much better than the Northern seed, making a better crop and withstanding the ^ changes of weather better. Several A growers say, "There is no comparison ere J' between the two;" one says the home njD grown seed are "100 per cent, better mu than Northern peed." pri. Question 3. Have you ever planted log them more than one season renewed wei from Northern seed, or do you think it neccessary to plant Northern seed annually enough to raise seed for second crop? in To this question 18 growers give o it as their opinion that it is necessa ry to renew from Northern seed more D frequently than in from three to five c- years Two say they have grown 1(1 them eight years consecutively from Ir home-grown seed; two say they have grown tnem inus for iu years, ana if1 one says that he has grown them for 11 :e years. 8ix growers say that they y consider it necessary to plant enough Northern seed to grow potatoes for !D the planting of the late crop. Several Lo express their opinion that if care is e- used in selecting seed there need be no necessity for a change. Question 4. Please state how you treat the potatoes to be used for late 01 planting, after digging the early crop, what size you use and whether cut or uncut? To this question the majority answer that they simply spread them out in the shade until the planting time, while a few have adopted the bedding plan. About one-half the answers * n* recommend cutting the seed potatoes. ?= n I observe, too, that those who do not !? bed their potatoes and who cut tbem are the ones who complain most of the difficulty in getting a stand of late potatoes. Nearly all use the culls, or small, unmarketable potatoes from the early crop; but it is worth noticeing _ that those who have grown the home seed for the longest time without chauge usually consider it essential to 1 select good-sized, smooth potatoes for ' g I I *:~ ~ - piuuuiJg iLie ittie ur?;p. Question 5. What date do you plant the second crop ? ^ The answers to this vary with the latitude of the growers from the last of July in Virginia to September in Florida. Our own experience shows b that, for this part of North Carolina, Po the middle of August is the best time, although, fair crops have been raised from September plantings But these 8. very late ones are apt to be cut down 6 by frost in an immature state* Lv~ Question 6. How do you preoare the land, plant and cultivate the late crop? Ar d The answer to this shows that the fj! majority of the growers make little or Ari no difference in the mode of planting *rl u the late crops of potatoes, and the ^ majority complain of the trouble in ?7 d getting a stand. Lv Jr Question 7. Do you fertilize specially i b- for the late crop, and to what exteut? lv y. To this a large number auswer that }? is they do fertilize; but more lightly Lv r- than for the early crop, as the}' grow it *?_ on the land that has had a heavy Lv n 'dressing for the first crop. A number to of growers recommend fertilizing with Ar e- a complete fertilizer to the extent of 1,000 pounds per acre, while several use no fertilizers because they only want a ^ lot of small potatoes for planting. It Ar is noticeable that those who recom- Ar mend this practice also find it _ necessary to resort to Northern seed C anuually to grow their seed stock. ^ Question What varieties do you f ,d prefer ? It is a noticeable fact that among all ? the varieties of potatoes that have been 9* Introduced of. late years, the large ,.( majority of these growers still give s their preference decidedly to the Early Cha Rose?particularly the strain known J as Houlton Rose. The vote was as no. _ follows: Twenty-one growers name Nu Early Rose ; six name Bliss' Triumph; | three name Early Ohio; two name 81 Pearl of Savoy; two name Crown | Jewels; two name Lee's Favorite, and ' one each prefer Virginia Red, Beauty J'4, of Hebron. Polaris and Clarke's No. 1. It will be seen, then, that the Early 1 4 Rose is far from beiugsuperseded yet. } * P Question 9. What do you consider \ x the best methods of storing for winter ...... preservation? There is a diversity of opinion; but 24 all agree that the late crop is peculiar- 3 a ly easy to keep. Many prefer to store ? in barrels or crates in an outbuilding, some spread on barn floor and cover ~ with straw, but the majority prefer " storing in hills outdoors covered with s-i earth. Nearly all agree in the necessi- U3I y ty for keeping them cold and dark. "9 4 e* One thing noticeable in this corres- 0 ? y pondence is the fact that while the l* growers seem generally awake to the si: n value of growing a late crop of Irish an s- potatoes in the South for seed, they do 55: 8< uot seem to realize the value of the 64: r- crop as a food crop to complete with |i V lr the Northern grown potatoes for table 3 i 0 use in winter and aping. The markets JjB 0 of the Southern cities are still almost entirely supplied during fall, winter jj?. 'l and spring with potatoes brought from *. E the North, and the late fall crop of 8 5 n the South has so far made not the 10 * I aMnUtuat imnrpttumn on thft fond mark- !! ....t _ tl 1( d et. This, it seems to us is an impor- 122 s> tant point. As soon as au Irish potato J2?* ? begins to sprout in winter, its value, j[Jj e or at least its palatability as an article e of food, is much depreciated. The 1 ij Southern fall-grown potato keeps d unsprouted much later tli?n the 12'if s* Northern potatoes, and the ease and 123i certainty with which the crop can be {'J > grown by proper treatment ought 3* to enable our home growers to supply ?_ r* the home market at a profit. In all wl^ e Southern cities Irish potatoes seldom en.i r sell for less than SI per bushel all a,<1 ' winter, and usually for considerably " more. Hundreds of thousand of bush- and H els of Northern potatoes are annually r* sold here at these prices, all of ^ e which can as well be produced at f(.ik ' Home. AViin me great uepression iu the cotton-growing interests, our people are asking what they can grow unio to profit. Why not grow late potatoes Kim for the home market for food as well as seed ? . * Complete and Full STOCK OF THE CELEBRATED 4 tropolitanBrand of iiei Paints ! _ or _ ; . | 3HN LUCAS & CO. always on band at the <? ity Drug Store.
