JACQUEMINOT Do you know the quaint custom that still holds in one of the country towns of Pennsylvania, whereby, in accordance with the will of Baron Stiegel, there is paid for the church property, with an appropriate anniversary celebration, an annual rental of one red Rose? No other Rose can be counted upon for this service so surely as the dear old favorite "Jack."

For Covering a Bank, Stumps, or Like Objects The Wichuraiana is an ideal cover rose. It is remarkably free from both insects and disease and looks clean and fresh the entire year.

It bears bright berries, which the birds like. Enterprising railroad companies use Wichuraianas to hold embankments in place; they also add to the roadside beauty.

For growing on banks. One plant of Wichuraiana will easily cover 6 square feet of ground. (See page 62.) Most of the Hybrid Wichuraianas are also well suited for covering purposes.

Here is a beautiful hint, easily and cheaply adopted by anyone whose fences are bare. See varieties mentioned above For Screen Planting and Borders, or Beautifying the Unsightly Almost every lawn might be improved, if some uncomely object or portion in the rear were screened from view. The right kind of roses will do it, and give you something beautiful instead. There are two ways to do it: (1) put up a trellis and train over it the roses named on page 71; or (2) if it be a low screen, you need only to plant the tall, erect-growing Rugosa roses. And if you want a luxuriant growth, dig the ground deeply and give these roses plenty of rich nourishment.

These eight varieties, if set in one group, should be placed at least 2 to 3 feet apart.

Wonderfully pleasing effects may be obtained for screening out undesirable objects or views by the erection of trellis formations. These may be made of various designs and materials. Over these train the roses recommended on pages 68 and 69. கு A fence made beautiful with Wichuraiana roses
