Mr. Editor? MYRTLE.
The Florida agriculturist., 1889-09-11

MANY of our readers may have plants
ready for budding and grating, andto
such we commend "Myrtle's" communica-
tion on grating and budding roses. We
think there may bea great deal oftruthin
what she says about roses budded high
giving unsatisfactory results. We set out
a rose budded about one foot from the
grOund-had been budded at least two
years. For a year it stood still, or rather
went back, until there was little but the
stock left. Last January we moved it to
another spot, setting it so deep that only
about an inch of the stock remains above
ground 1--WE now regret that we did not
set it four or five inches deeper). 1t al
most Immediately began growing and
blooming, and not month has passed
but what it has borne crop of lovely
flowers. The top is quite small yet, but
that is not to be wondered at, considering
the number of flowers that it has pro-
duced during the last six months. 1t is
the exquisitely beautiful Souvenir de la
Malmaison, and was originally pNTchased
at an auction in New York City. We do
not know what hestock is, asst has never
sent up sucker. In grating beneath the
surface of the soil, as our correspondent
describes, would it not be we'll to use a
moist clay, as do our nurserymen in graft
ing peaches, plums, etc.? We think it
would be especially valuable in dry wealth
er, which our correspondent says has
made gratis fail for her. We remember
reading several years ago directions for
budding roses, in which it was advised to
tie damp moss about the bud-notcover
ing it, but all around it-and keep it
damp until the bud has taken. In answer
to our correspondents closing question,
we certainly think that any one knowing
how to bud an orange tree or to insert a
graft of any kind could follow her direc-
tions and successfully bud or graft roses.

fruit is about one and a half inches long,
bright red and containing only three to
four seed.

Support the Climbers.

A distinctive fact in plant growth, not
generally thought of, is the waste of
vital force lii all vines unable to clasp
surrounding objects by tendrills or by
their young shoots, says Josiah Hooper
in the N. Y. Tribune. By actual expert
ment the yield of flowers and fruits on
uncared for vines has been decreased
sufficiently to Drove that the little time
needed to tend these plants at the prop
er season is a paying investment. An
nuals, such as cobea, barclyana. nastur-
tians, cypress vines, ETC., will produce
finer and more blossoms if supplied with
adequate support than if permitted to
struggle alone unassisted. Neither are
perennial Wood-climbers an exception. If
we remove the support from wstarias, te-
comas, celastrus, etc, their nature under
goes a change, and the inclination to
climb is apparently lost; but if at any
time some foreign body is placed near by,
the old tendency returns, and the young
shoots eagerly clasp it and at once begin
their normal upward growth. Gardeners
have taken advantage of this popularity,
and by close pruning, as wei! as dispens-
ing with any support, have metamor
phosed the climber into pretty tree-like
shrub The solution of this apparent
mystery is not difficult. The change of
habit is due to loss of vital force occa-
stoned by the plants struggle for it's nat
ural condition. This same principle may
be exemplifed in the grape, which,
although producing crop when pruned
severely and tied to single stake, does
not yield SO abundantly as when growing
freely over an adequate trellis. 1t as
sumes the brush form precisely as previ-
ously explained with the wstaria, etc.

Rose Notes.

From P. j. Berckmans' Catalogue
A deep soil, well fertilized with stable
manure, is the most favorable for the
rose. In planting select two or three of
the strongest branches; cut these back
to two or three inches each and remove
all the smaller ones. Each new shoot will
produce finer flowers than if the old wood
is left. No good flowers must be
expected unless the plants are annually
pruned
We do notrecommend budded roses for
general cultivation, as few persons give
these the proper care, and consequently
they bring disappointment; therefore we
advise none but careful amateurs to order
this class of plants. The main objection
The Florida agriculturist., 1889-09-11

to budded roses by many persons is on
account of the suckers they sometimes
throw out. This is partially avoided if
they are planted suffi ientIy deep to place
the junction of the bud with the stock
from two to three inches below the surface
of the soil There is growing demand
for budded roses, from persons who ap-
preciate their value, especially for exhibit
tion flowers, as many sorts do not attain
full perfection when grown upon their
own roots.
The Florida agriculturist., 1889-09-11

From the Dictionary of Gardening (EngliSh)
BUDDING.--This is the principal mode
of propagating roses and the operation
is one that may be successfully carried
out at the proper season after little
practice by almost any one. Nurserymen
who make roses speciality have thous-
ands budded annually. For ef-
fecting union it is necessary that the
stock be in a growing state, sufficiently
so to allow of it's bark separating freely
from the wood beneath The buds should
be dormant, well matured and preferably
obtained from firm shoots that have
borne flowers; sappy wood shoots are un-
suitable.

Grating and Budding Roses.

UraIC1ng ana buOu1nS Roses.
Editor Floral Department:
In a very brief way, for my time is lin
tied, | want to answer some questions
about budding roses.
The first requisite is a good, vigorous
stock on which to bud, and my preference
is to have it at time of budding in some
temporary place and after the bud has
made one good growth and ripened it's
wood to then transplant to permanent
abode, setting deep enough to cover with
soil the place where the bud was inserted.
/ have seen roses hudded very high, two
or three feetfrom the ground land have al
ways wondered if such work gave any sat
isfactory results, for if | have plant with
four or five inches of stock below the bud
and above the surface of ground the bark
gets dry and hard and scaly looking, and
numberless suckers are sent up from the
roots, and the budded top does not grow
as if well nurtured. Two years ago took
up a plant of this sort that had grown
so discouraged, either with trying to
grow when all it's life forces had to be
forced through six inches of old wood, or
with fear of the eco ops" with whose
presence it was daily threatened; be that
as it may, it had done next to nothing
for two years. So dug it up, cut back
the top severely, brought it to "the re-
treat" and set it so deep that about a
foot of the budded top was covered with
soil; it took it whole year to realize
that it was still in isolated life, and ex-
pected to make an effort to live, but is
now growing lovely" and blooming too
nice for anything" and shows no sign of
suckers from the roots.
Where the stock is first permanently
set, | prefer to graft instead of budding,
for then one can remove few inches in
depth of thesoil and get the scion in where,
in time, it will make a few roots near the
surface, and there is less of the objection
al tendency to throw up suckers.
Ihave done nothing extensively in
the way OF grating, and what
have done has been mainly on quite
large stocks, which / cut or saw off
about four inches below the surface of
the ground, then split down about
an inch, cut my scion wedge shaped and
insert, being careful to have the inner
bark OF scion and stock join on one side;
then tie we'll and mound eearth up over
the scion, which should beiusta long
enough towel, use about five inches
in length, and lastly but not leastly,
make a shade of two or more thicknesses
OF paper over the mound, leaving it open
on the north side; this shade. if we'll put
on, will last for weeks, but must not rest
on the top of the mound or it might in
terfere with the growing scion, and the
lower edge should have the earth or a
small portion of the plant drawn over it
to hold it in place.
Very drouthy weather has made gratis
fail for me.
The operation to be gone through, in
budding rose, is just the same as to bud
The Florida agriculturist., 1889-09-11

GRAFTING.-This is an effectual mode of
rose propagation. The whip or splice
method and crown grating are the best
suited, but the parts rarely unite SO well
as they do when budded Cleft or saddle
grating are also practicable Stocks
may be of the same sorts as those used
for budding.
