The remaining soil should then be packed in firmly, the surface leveled and covered with about 3 inches of coarse litter and manure, and the long wood cut back to about 18 inches to prevent the plant being whipped and loosened by high winds. This extra wood is left to encourage root action in the spring and should be cut back to three or four eyes as soon as they can be detected whe out.

Tin deep planting aliove de- scribed is necessary to pre- vent suckers from being thrown out by the roots, as these will speedily choke and kill the less vigorous wood which we are endeavoring to de- velop. From the writer's point of view tne only ob- jection to budded plants is this danger of suck- ering from the roots ; therefore no one should attempt to cultivate budded Roses who cannot distinguish the brier should it appear, or who is too careless or indifferent to dig down at once and cut the wild shoot clean off at the root, rubbing it smooth to prevent its starting again. Do this just as soon as you discover it. A very little experience will enable any one to dis- tinguish the brier. The canes are covered with minute thorns and bear seven leaflets, instead of the usual number of five. Should any doubt remain, follow the .shoot down through the ground and if it starts below the collar, it is a lirier. Remove it.
