The nurseries right now are preparing their roses for ship- ment and the selection was never better. While they may be planted in the spring with good prospects of success, now is real- ly the better time. Roses, in our Pa'cific Coast climate attain an unexcelled per- fection, but if we expect thent to flourish they should be prop- erly planted and cared for. Roses svill thrive in a rich sandy clay- loam and almost equally as well in any good garden soil provid- ing it is properly fertilized with we11 rotted cow manure. Bone meal is good, also some of the commercial fertilizers, although for our own part we prefer the manure or bone meal. If after receiving your roses from the nursery, you are unable to plant them at once, unpack and heel them in, in a shady place. They should be heeled in deep enough so that the soil is half way up the stem. Soak the soil thoroughly with water, and keep moist until ready to plant. Do not remove all the plants at once, if you are setting out a number, but care for one at a time. In this way there will be no danger of the roots drying out before they have been per- manently located. Prepare the soil by digging the hole about two feet deep, mixing in the fertilizer. If clay is available some should be mix ed in with the other soil. Sever- al inches of small rocks placed in the botton of the hole provid- 4 ancouier this is not usually necessary unless hard pan is close to the surface. If such is the case it is advisable to use the rocks. An effort should be made to break up the hard pan to improve the drainage. The hole should be sufficiently large to accomodate the roots withou& cramping. In planting, place the crown about two inches below the sur- face of the soil, fill the hole half way to the top, then lift the plant slightly several times. This will serve to sift the soil well around the roots. Firm soil well around the plant, and fill in the hole, but leave a depression a- round the bush, which will pre- vent the water from running oÃ. IVater thoroughly. Trim the branches back to about seven or eight inches. A little later and before severe frosts putt. the earth up around the plants to protect the roots, removing it in the spring as soon as the buds start to swell. Roses should be watered fre- quently during the growing sea- son and only in the morning. This is a splendid preventative of mildeiv. Cultivate freely, keeping the soil around the plant loose at all times. The second spring after tlie bush has been established and before the buds start to swell, trim back about half of the pre- vious season's growth, also cut- ting out all the old and dead wood. Mix about a handful of fertilizer or a forkful of man- ure in the soil around the roots each spring, and give a similar application in the fall. es good drainage, but in West "From Forest to You" ui cing a ~garage.

Anna FIoltz, 638 Twenty- third street west, had a narrow escape from serious injury at 6o'lock Sunday evening. The car turned completely over and land- ed upside down in the creek bed, 20 feet below the bridge. Mrs. Holtz sustained injuries about the chest and the left knee. When the car plunged off the bridge it took 40 feet of the wooden railing with it. Mrs. Holtz was removed to the North Vancouver General Hos- pital by Edward Stanhope, v ho happened to pass the scene shortly after the accident. A little dog in the car with Mrs. Holtz was none the worse for its thrilling experience. In the early hours of Monday morning, as a Fraser Valley Milk driver was inspecting the scene of the accident on the bridge, an automobile driven by A. H. Sam- son of the Capilano Timber Co. struck the rear of his wagon. The front part of the auto was badly damaged, according to police.

C.--ALBERTA iVIRE INAUGURATED An all-Canadian direct tele- phone circuit from Vancouver to Calgary divas opened on Novem- ber 6 by the British Columbia Telephone Company, thus giv- ing faster service and better transmission between coast and Alberta points. Previously it had been neces- sary to route all coast-Alberta telephone calls by way of Seattle, Washington, and Helena, i41on- tana, as the business available had not warranted the construc- tion of a line across British Col- umbia. The net all-Canadian circuit has required the stringing of 500 miles of wire across the province from the coast, and am- plifying equipment has been in- stalled at Chilliwack, Kamloops, Revelstoke and Field in order to "boost" the voice currents on their long journey. The B. C .Telephone Company also will have direct telephone ivill be open from Merritt and Princeton to Vancouver, anti within a few weeks Penticton also will have directo telephone connection ivith the coast. By the end of th eyear or soon aft- er the company also hopes to have the East Kootenay and West Kootenay telephone ex- changes linked up with the coast by an all-Canadian route. The company is at present embark- ed upon the most ambitious long distance programme in its his- tory.
