In selecting a spot to plant your roses, choose one where they will have full sunlight all day, if possible, and never'near large trees or in shady situations, as the rose delights in a sunny, airy position. Roses are very partial to a clay loam soil, but will do well in any ordinary soil if well enriched with well-rotted barnyard manure. In preparing the bed, dig it up well to the depth of twelve or fifteen inches, as rose roots penetrate deep when they have a chance. In forming the beds do not elevate them above the level of the ground surrounding, as they will suffer less from drouth. After the plants have been set out, keep the soil loose to the depth of an inch or two by frequent stirrings. An occasional soaking with weak manure water is a great help to them. The following are of the Hybrid Perpetual class and are admirably suited for garden culture, for the formation of rose beds, hedges, and permanent plantations where hardy varieties of roses are desired. They do much better if covered with marsh hay or some similar material through the winter. With the exception of Persian Yellow and Harrison they are on their own roots, and are much more reliable than budded roses. We have selected the list with great care, giving the very best varieties and the full range of color. All are two year, strong, out door grown plants and we make a uniform price of 50 cents each, per dozen. GEN. JACQUEMINOT.
