RISM-GRQWN Dicl;son's Irish Roses have a world-wide reputation for vigorous, free and heahhy growth and fine flowers, and in the neighborhood of Philadelphia they have proven so satisfactory that we have frequently been asked to supply this stock. This has induced us to ofi'ertheni, and the collection of twenty-live sorts enumerated below are the varieties best suited to our climate, and have been received direct from the growers in the northern part of the Emerald Isle, where the soil and climatic conditions favor the 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.
