Box or pot them in rough turfy loam, with a little manure and sand (they won't object to a little bone dust). Drain them well, set in a good airy spot in the greenhouse. Syringe often, shade slightly, and keep soil well stirred; this will induce a strong, vigor- ous growth, which keep tied up till growth stops naturally in fall, then withhold water somewhat and syringing, till the wood is well ripened, say latter end of October or beginning of Novem- ber, when the plants should be pruned well, say one half or more of the canes or wood taken off.

Three years ago I dug out about two wheelbarrows full of soil, re- placing it with good turf and manure well rotted and mixed together, and planted a thrifty young Marechal that I had Ijudded on Solfaterre the year before.
