The practical book of outdoor rose growing for the home garden. eal stock for all roses has notyet been discovered, and a great advance should bemade in this most important section of rose order to secure a perfect rose list, budding ondifferent stocks should be tried. If cuttings only areemployed, very many roses will not succeed as wellfor outdoor culture. There are two objections to budded roses. First,they occasionally break off at the bud, but this hasso seldom occurred with us in actual practice thatit is not worth consideration. The second and mainreason is that the stocks upon which the roses arebudded throw up shoots of their own below the bud,which, if left, take the entire nourishment of theroots and check the budded growth by crowding itout and taking its light and sunshine. These slioots from below the bud may be veryeasily detected upon their appearance, because theycome up from the ground outside the plant and alsobecause of their different habit of growth, containing,as they do, seven and sometimes nine leaves on each 20.

(Note illustration.) The foliage is of amuch lighter shade of green than the shoots fromthe bud itself and its point of junction with theplant is below the bud. It is very easily removedby carefully digging up the ground, cutting it offwith a knife at its union with the plant below thebud, and rubbing some earth over the cut. Inaddition, this main reason is not a valid objection,because it only happens with about one per cent,of the budded plants, and can even then be easilydetected. To keep this percentage down, roses must beplanted wdth the bud two to three inches the sur-
