All who give the above plan a trial, will be gratified by the profusion, size, and perfection of the blooms ; (if very large blooms are desired, it will be necessary to disbud all but the crown-bud.) Plants grown on benches in this way, may be lifted (if carefully done) without the loss of a leaf, and will produce finer flowers than those grown outdoors and lifted. \ The only objection to this system is that I it takes the room in the house all sum- 1 mer; but most florists have houses which may be emptied from June until Novem- ber or December, when the time comes for filling them with pot roses, etc., for spring sales. As to the varieties to grow, I will name only those that have been tested, and proved to be the most profitable, naming the earliest first. For September, use Madame Desgrange (white Japanese), and Golden Madame Desgrange (yellow).

Several of our best growers have failed to have 1 first-rate results growing it in the open air, but when grown under glass it is one of the very best.
