May exhibited a fine vase of The Bride, a promising pure white variety of good size. James Sackawich, New Hyde Park, N. Y., staged a vase of a dozen blooms of a new red seedling which promises well, the color being very lively and the flower of good size. There were five vases of seedling roses on exhibition, three from Jas. Cook, Balti- more, Md.: No. 138.—Pink, style of Mme. Testout. No. 115,—White after Kaiserin Augusta Victoria.

One stake will be sufiicient to support several branches. Keep the lat- erals pinchedfrom the main flower shoots, allowing about four branches to a plant. Give them full light and abundant venti- lation whenever practicable, for this is necessary to induce a sturdy and vigor- ous growth.
