Those offered as large plants have been bedded out, or grown in pots the past season, and wintered in cold frame ; ihey can be planted out in the Spring with little or no risk. The rose requires high culture; it should be planted in good, well-drained soil; the ground can scarcely be made too rich. The prunmg required wi'l vary with the sorts planted, the rank^growing requiring less pruning than the weak ones. The points particularly to be observed are to prune before the buds start in spring, to cut out all unripe or old and feeble shoots, and to cut back the last season's growth to from one-half to two-thirds its length, according to the vigor of the sorts. Winter pro- tection of tender sorts is accomplished by covering after a few severe frosts, with leaves, straw, evergreen boughs, or earth, or by removing the plants to a cool cellar. With a little care of this kind, the choicest tender roses may be safely wintered, and as they are the only really perpetual roses, thsyare abunbantly worth the extra care. The insects most commonly injurious to the rose —as the Aphas, which appear in great numbers upon the young, growing shoots, and the Thrips, which prey upon the vinder side of the leaf, giving it a sickly, yel- lowish look, miy easily be destroyed by syringing or dipping the plants in tobacco water. Purchasers will do better by allowing us some latitude in making selec- tions, not only getting better plants, but greater dis- tinction of variety. Roses, hyb7-idperpetual, hardy. These bloom two or three times during the season. Bedding plants 20 cents each; $ per doz; $ per 100 by express. Large plants 35 to 50 cents each; $ per ico by ex- p
