Culture.—Buy always 2-yea -old out-door-grown plants, and set them out at once on receipt of them. Dig holes plenty large, so that the roots will not be cramped; have no fresh manure in holes ; never use fresh manure about your Roses, except as a mulch. Cut off with a sharp knife all bruised and broken roots, cut the tops down to one or two vigorous shoots, and these to 6 inches in length. After the plants are set out, be sure that the earth is firmly pressed around and among the roots with the feet or hands. Plants loosely stuck in the ground usually die. Roses will grow to perfection in any good garden soil, deeply dug and well manured, and so exposed that they will get the early morning sun until at least 10 o'clock. The best soil we have found to be a highly fertilized, well cultivated, under-drained red clay. No good flowers can be expected unless the plants are annually pruned. March is the best time here. For further directions, we refer planters to some of the many excellent books on Roses. Comtesse de la Barthe. B^ew Roses equal this in freedom of flowering; none surpass it in either fragrance or vigor. The flowers are rose colored, heavily shaded with amber and salmon. We regard this as one of the very best. Devoniensis. Magnolia Rose. Beau- tiful creamy white, with rose center; large, very full and double; delightful- ly sweet tea scented. Duchess of Edinburgh
