T'nlike most yellow roses it grows well grafted on the Manetti (the sec- tion shown being on that stock). Mr. Montgomery has tried it on the Bank- sia stock and many others, one spe- cial stock being received from Eu- rope, Vint the Manetti has proved to be the best. It does splendidly on its own roots, though not so strong as on the grafted stocks. In our opinion it can be placed above all others of the yel- low shade yet introduced. Some years ago a certain New Jersey gentleman said that if he could find a yellow Bride he would mortgage all he pos- sessed, even his shirt, to obtain pos- session of it, but here is something that the Bride even in its best days could never touch. We advise our readers to go and see this latest production and can assure them that they will be well repaid for any expense tliey may incur for the journey. They will linger longer look- ing at it than at any rose they ever went to see, and come away satisfied that the acme of perfection has been reached in this new rose. Mac. Roses Not lirowlng. ED. AMERICAN Florist : We planted our roses in June and July in solid beds over a light porous soil. The soil in the beds was clean garden loam with one-third cow man- ure. They started growth as soon as planted, but as soon as one or two growths were made the roots died back to the stock, and the plants re- mained dormant. They did not die but started again only to repeat the same performance. We have used no liquid manure and the plants have been kept free from insects and mildew. The roses we had in pots acted in a similar manner. Could it have been caused by the soil being sour?
