The American journal of horticulture and florist's companion . g is most conveniently done by three persons ; one spreading out theroots with his hands, and a second placing in the soil, while the third settles itby pouring water from the rose of a water-pot.

Climbing-roses, and those, generally, which throw up rapid andvigorous shoots, will make a better growth by autumn if cut down to a few goodbuds when planted out than if long portions of stem and branches are left:these, indeed, not unfrequently draw so hard upon the roots as to cause the deathof the plant. On the other hand, I have seen shrubs transplanted in wet weatherwith entire success, after having grown six inches, by taking up all the rootscarefully, and drenching the soil well with water, at the same time very freelyshortenina: back the shoots. —Florist and Pomolo< The Editors of Tiltons Journal of Horticulture cordially invite all in-terested in horticulture and pomology, in its various branches, to send ques-tions upon any subject upon which information may be desired.
