methods of pro rosea roses at the north one Is i to draw tio the buh bush together into as an malt small a space as Wa possible sible and wind it with straw thir Is a very good method when tho the burk la Is well done but unfortunately few persons are able to do it well welt therefore I 1 advise that it be not done by an amateur one objection that can be urged against it eren even when the work is done to perfection Is to that the straw Is likely to attract the attention of mice and if they make it their nesting place they are pretty alre u to geaw all tho the bark off the busha bush a all things considered laying the plants down flat on the ground and covering them with dry earth or leay leaves seem to be the best beat and safest plan for the amateur to follow it ie Is certainly the easiest one the bushes should not be laid down until the cold nold weather seems likely to set in I 1 have known great injury done by covering them too early la in the season if it the bushes are old and have stiff canes it trill will be a difficult matter to bend them flat without boecking brec brer king or at least cracking them to facilitate this part of tha the work and make it possible to do tt it safely I 1 would advise digging out some of the soil on an the side it f tho the plant toward which it la Is to be bent thia this will allow you to tip tho bush over without making any abrupt bend bends in it such large growing varieties as the climbers like queen of the prairie baltimore belle and the ramblers with canes half halt an inch or more through cannot be bandini with safety A slight bend makee makes a fracture in thorn thom and this tt it Is advisable to avoid these borts sorts I 1 make into as impact bundles as an possible leaving them in an upright position and either wind with straw or protect with corn stalks tea roses and ue bengal and achl jese varieties comprising the so 8 called ever blooming class can be ba vint wintered erod out of doors at the north if
