LL DINGEE ROSES are propagated under such favorable conditions that our shibboleth, "Dingee Roses Go and Grow ; is literally true; but common sense tells us that certain kinds of Roses thrive better in some localities than in others. We are often asked our opinion upon this one point, and in order to give our friends a guide for them to follow we have tried to indicate as nearly as possible, in connection with the different classes of Roses, the section of the country in which each will thrive to its full perfec- tion with the least amount of protection. But it must not be understood, because we prefer a certain class for one locality, that it will not do well in others. For instance, we recommend all the Hybrid Perpetuals for planting in the extreme Northern States and Canada, and yet the same va- rieties grow to great size and beauty in Florida and Texas. On the other hand, we state that some of the Tea Roses are best for Southern planting; but by careful protection they may be grown success- fully in Canada. Preparation of Beds The way to get the best results from Roses when planted in beds is to make a trench to a depth of 15 to 18 inches, that is, the soil should be removed to that depth, well pulverized and mixed with from one-third to one-fourth its bulk with well-rotted animal manure, cow stable manure preferable where it can be obtained. Before filling in the bed it is well to put in some material for drainage, such as soft coal cinders, broken crockery or stones, not too large. Then return the soil to the trench, and when returned it should stand from 3 to 4 inches higher than the surrounding ground, as it will quickly settle below the surface. It is necessary to do this, in order that the rain water will drain quickly away from the bed. If, however, the soil you remove from the trench is not the bets Rose soi
