Some ten or twelve years ago several Philadelphia amature Rose growers imported co'lections of Dick- son's Irish Roses, which gave such excellent results that they at once gained a local reputation, which is spreading each season, as we have sold them to all parts of the country, and they have been so entirely satisfactory that we find it necessary to increase our imports every year. From our own experience, as well as from the reports received from our own customers, the collection of twenty-five sorts enumerated below are the varieties best suited to our climate, and have been received direct from the growers in the north- ern part of the EmeraUl Isle, where the soil and cli- matic conditions favor tlie perfect development and the thorough ripening of the wood. These plants are not grown on their own roots, but are budded or grafted, and they should on this account be planted sufficiently deep, so that the point at which they are grafted is at least two inches below the surface. When this is done it is rare that a wild shoot starts from the base, and if it should happen, the growth and foliage of the stock are so distinct that it is readily recognized by the most inexperienced amateur, and is easily re- moved.
