Jessie Collins, President, welcomed mem- bers and introduced Flora Yarbro. She pre- sented an interesting and informative pro- gram on “Roses.” The rose has become the nation’s favorite flower. This is evident from the widespread interest in it as a home garden flower and from its popularity as a cut flower for all occasions. Flower experts recognize two main classes of cultivated roses. The first kind that blooms once a year is the yellow brier, damask rose, moss rose and many climbers. The second variety bloom more than once a year. They are known as summer and autumn roses. Examples are the teas, hybrid teas, floribunda, baby ramblers and China roses. Roses grow in many parts of the world but do well in mild climates. They like fer- tile garden soil with good drainage. They need four to six hours sun each day. | One of the most perplexing problems of rose culture is disease control The most seri- ous disease of roses are powdery mildew and black spot. Black spot is the most seri- ~ ous. To control pests and diseases spray weekly. The method of pruning roses must be var- ied for each kind of rose. As a general rule, weak growing varieties should be pruned lightly and vigorously. Roses intended for an important occasion should be picked four or more hours in advance and conditioned in warm water. Before arranging, cut stems at an angle the length you want, The rose is still the most popular garden flower, beloved by all for its fragrance, form and variety of colors. Timely tips were given by Phyllis Carpenter. Don't spray water on chrysanthe- mums in bloom but water at ground level. Now is the time to plant trees and shrubs. Collect season's last annuals for drying. Flowers such as zinnias, cockscomb and golden rod all dry well. The beautiful exhibit made by Peggy Baird for the Cleveland county Fair booth was. displayed. A beautiful arrangement” October Mist” was made of yellow and orange marigolds with greenery in a ceramic jack-o-lantern. The District meeting will be held November 6 at Piper Glen. Several members plan to attend. The friendship basket was won by Grace Talbert.
