Commercial rose culture under glass and outdoors; a practical guide to modern methods of growing the rose for market purposes . nts did much better andgave greater profit during the Summer, after their rest, thanthey could have, had they been kept at a growing temperature,during the cold, dark months of the year. While beingrested they were usually kept at a little above the freezingpoint, but during the Winter of 1917-18 many houses wentbelow that point. During the European War, when the con-sumption of coal was restricted, this method was moregenerally followed than ever before, and where intelligentlyworked out, it was very successful.
