Including Tea, Perpetual, Noisette Roses, etc. We have had good success with Roses on the poorest pine-land by using the following plan : Dig a hole somewhat larger than the intended bed of Roses, and 2 feet deep ; fill to within 6 inches of the surface with half-rotted sods procured from some old field or in the woods. The sods and grass should be tramped down thoroughly; the upper 6 inches should be ordinary soil, with well- rotted manure mixed in thoroughly. Clay also added throughout the depth of the bed is a decided help in all light, sandy soils. The best time to transplant Roses is in the fall and winter months. Don't try to save the tops of your Roses when you transplant. Cut them back well ; even to only 3 or 4 buds and leaves is best, and in a few weeks you will have strong, young, healthy shoots full of blossom-buds. Prune your Roses every October, cutting back every- thing but a few strong, healthy young shoots, and you will be favored with buds and blossoms all win- ter. The best buds and flowers are from the new, young, vigorous canes. Bone meal is an excellent fertilizer for Roses. Give small doses, worked intothetop soil lightly. Potash also i< a decided help in pro- ducing more and bet- ter colored blooms. Apply sparingly, on top of soil. We con- sider budded or graft- ed plants much bet- ter for most sorts, for the South especially. Set low, and be sure to keep the sprouts from below the buds re- moved. 4®=*Prices, except where noted, strong i-year-old hushes, 30 cts. each, $3 per doz. Agrippina.
