C. H. MIDDLETON
The time for the pruning of roses is at hand, and soon with secateurs or knife the gardener will be going out among his standards or bush roses to do all the right things-or all the wrong ones.
On pruning everything depends.
The old hand knows just what to do. How easy it looks ! But it is not for nothing he cuts back that shoot with the bud facing outwards. There is reason for hard pruning this particular rose, and for going gently with that one.
This evening Mr. C. H. Middleton will be alone at the microphone, and he will not only pive invaluable advice on the pruning of roses, but he will take the opportunity to answer a few queries. Mr. Middleton welcomes questions.
