ROSES STANDARD
OF EXCELLENCE
Few Flowers That Can Approach
Their Brilliance and Beauty;
Are Many Types
Paul’s Scarlet Climber
By WALTER F. BURGISS
To me roses have always been
a standard of excellence in the
flower world. There are few
flowers that can approach the
brilliance and beauty that the
rose affords. There are so many
types that one can choose from
that there is no reason for us to
be without all the roses that we
would like, regardless of the num
ber. The average person has a
particular type that he is inter
ested in and a combination of
colors that are suitable to the
particular location where h e
wishes to grow them. For in
stance, there are spots where we
will want to use a climbing rose,
like the Paul’3 Scarlet Climber,
in the photo. Mrs, Neaves is us
ing this rose as a background for
the other lower growing shrubs
and as a color contrast for the
tall trees that are in back of the
rose bed, which are not shown in
the picture.
Roses are easily grown and are
not hard to propagate. All that
the average person will need to do
is to root cuttings from a rose
which you have seen, and get per
mission from the owner to get a
cutting or two. Most people will
be glad to accommodate you, and
it does the rose no harm to take
a few cuttings from it.
There are two types of cuttings.
“Hardwood” cuttings, or cuttings
taken from mature stems, or
“greenwood” cuttings, taken from
young, immature stems. The
base of a flowering shoot after
the flower is fully opened and the
wood is firm, is as good as you
niay expect for a “greenwood
cutting, or a shoot of the same
age that has no flower will do.
A piece from 3 to 6 inches long,
with three buds makes a good cut
ting. Make the cuts with a sharp
knife close below the lower bud,
and any distance above the upper
bud. Remove the lower leaves
and leave the top leaves on the
stem, reducing the number to two
leaves. As soon as the cuttings
are made drop them into water
for protection until they are
planted. They should be planted
in sandy soil or light loam and
watered well and covered witn a
glass jar or large mouth bctcle
after being placed in the ground
The above photo was made at the home of Mrs. W. A. Neaves.
Mrs. Neaves is using this rose as ,a background for the othier lower
g-rowing shrubs, and it does much to beautify the home. Roses are
easily grrown and they will enhance the beauty of any dwelling.
^Nothing Is Certain
Except Death, Taxes”
Those Who Believe They Pay No Taxes Are Living In Fool’s
Paradise; Tax On Everything That’s Sold
(Continued On Page Four)
There is an old adage that says
nothing is certain except death
and taxes.
The man who questions that
and says: “I own no property, I
pay no income tax, why should I
bother about taxes,” is living in
a fool’s paradise. He is deceiving
himself for wherever he goes,
whatever he does, an invisible tax
collector follows him like a shad
ow.
We are a spending nation. Our
wages and standard of living are
higher than in any country in the
world. W^e are accustomed to
and require goods and services
unknown or out of range of all
but a few in other lands. And
every time a citizen or his wife
cpends a dollar the tax gatherer
takes his toll, about thirty to thir
ty-five cents in hidden taxes. In
other words, every citizen works
two or three days a week for
taxes, although he may not real
ize it. ^ .

house to pay taxes, because in
cluded in your rent are all of the
taxes paid upon property. In
cluded in the prices you pay are
the sales taxes on medicines, to
bacco, liquors, and the long list
of articles on which such excise
taxes are levied. Included in the
cost of things you buy are the
corporation income taxes, proper
ty taxes and the taxes for licenses
and for all other levies the cor
poration must pay. Because in
the rates you pay for electric cur
rent, for gas, for railroad and mo
tor transportation, and for all
other services, are the taxes that
must be paid by the companies
providing these services. They
must pass them along to you or
they would soon be bankrupt.
Let us take this example:
Drive into a filling station. Ask
for 10 gallons of gasoline and a
quart of oil. Tell the attendant
to put water in the radiator and
