EFFECTIVE SPRAY FOR ROSE BUGS
| 3 pts. sweet milk. |
| 3 pts. kerosene. |
| 1 qt. water. |
Shake well in a jug, then put one-half pint of the fluid to one gallon of water. Stir well and both spray the bushes thoroughly and wet the ground around the roots. Repeat every ten days from May 1st to June 15th, by which time the pests seem to get discouraged and give up the fight!
And the reward for all this care and attention? "A devoted cottager," says Neltje Blanchan, "may easily have more beautiful roses than the indifferent millionaire."
The following lists comprise a few of the best of the different classes mentioned. I wish you success in your choice.

Maman Cochet, free bloomer, hardiest of the teas; rose-pink.
