Show Firmly Planted An East side resident had carefully care-fully prepared the soil preparatory to setting out some very choice rose bushes In his yard. He mixed the soil thoroughly with what he presumed pre-sumed to be fertilizer", watered the roots and took great precautions In order that the roses would have every ev-ery advantage. But despite his care, within an unusually short time, the roses withered and died. Eager to know the cause of their death he went out to investigate. He took his spade and attempted to loosen the soil about them, but much to his surprise and disgust discovered that instead of fertilizing the roses, he had by mistake used cement and placed his roses In a concrete base.
