Among American raised sorts Edwin Forrest, Etta, Admiral Dewey, Alice, Gen. Miles and Floral Treasure were extra fine and will, I predict, take a place with the finest of the French va- rieties. Very few of our latest plantings produced character blooms, owing to the hard fronts in May. It may be well to make note that a peony does not show its true character until established in the ground. This takes from two to three years with most varieties. Liv- ingstone, Mme. Boulanger, Felix Crousse, Mme. Crousse, M. Dupont, Mme. Emile Galle, Model of Perfection, and Marie Lemoine show up better the longer they are established. E. G. Hill. London Letter. At Covent Garden Market, June 2q, G. Prickett & Son, had a fine specimen of Nephrolepis cordata Tesselate, a seed- ling from tins type. This is the same variety that was given an award of merit at the Royal Horticultural Society last October. Harry Miles had white heather, a novelty for so early in the season, which sold at $1 per dozen. S. THE ROSE. Analysis of Rose Soil. There is no greenhouse specialty which requires so much skill as the growing of roses, and the magnificent specimens which may be found in the markets at almost any season of the year surpass all other greenhouse prod- ucts in beauty and perfection. There is no plant which requires so heavily ma- nured a soil as the rose.
