Descriptive and illustrated catalogue and manual of Royal Palm Nurseries . descriptiveillus1894roya Year: 1894 6o Reasoner Bros., Oneco, Florida. EICHARDIA Africana (Calla Ethiopica).

In the first place, a well-drained location is necessary, and next, moderately rich land. We have had good success with Roses on the poorest pine land, by using the following plan, which in- volves some labor and trouble, but will pay well in the long run in any location : Dig a hole in the ground, somewhat larger than the intended bed of Roses, and two feet in depth ; fill to within six inches of the surface with half-rotted sods previously procured from some old field, or in the woods or along some pond where the hogs have been rooting. The sods and grass should be tramped down thoroughly, so the}' will not settle too much. The top six inches should be ordinary light soil, with a few hands- ful of thoroughly rotted and composted stable manure scattered and mixed with the soil around the roots of each plant, to give it a good start. The addition of clay to the soil is a great advantage. The best time to transplant Roses ROSA (Indica), coniinued. is in the fall and winter months. Don't trylto save the tops of your Roses when you trans- plant. Cut them back well ; even to only three or four buds and leaves is best, and in a few weeks you will be awakened with strong, young • healthy shoots full of blossom buds. Prune your Roses every October, cutting back eve
