LaFrance, H. T.; most exquisite,
and, on high authority, sweetest of all
roses,-is seldom vigorous just
here. Perle DIES Jardins and
Marie Van Houtte do best in
winter (by that word intending
the Florida spring months, also).
Duchess de Brabant thrives exceeding
ly; has only the disadvantage of thin
texture.
Seven Sisters is a dainty cluster
bloomer in summer. Reeve Or, Mad.
Joseph Schwartz, and numbers more
are esteemed for one quality or anoth-
er. Happy the purchaser who sees the
flower before buying the bush.
The danger of over-cukure is very
small, probably; but rose bushes may
suffer from the hoe too often Or
improperly used. Like the chill
dren of a household under gen.
eral rules, their individual require
ments differ. Study these, watch,
work, wait, interestedly and intelli-
gently; share your product unselfsh-
ly, and your reward shall be ample

oSO~N|,
an infusion of these; of soap suds, of
charcoal powder; and, according to it's
strength, of cow manure made liquid,
these, easily provided, all the ac-
ceptable to this hungry beauty, the
rose. tits said to delight in draughts OF
beef blood. One of our best and
quickest fertilizers is urine diluted
with at least thrice it's quantity OF wa
ter; poured on the circle at a good
distance from the stalks, say twice
week. Nothing brings more vivid
green into foliage, and no fertilizer
is more deadly than this one unwisely
used. Fire is not worse on bush
than drenchings of urine at full
strength.
Do not expect too much from rose
bushes; for all things that live, their
Creator has ordained periods of rest.
Pruning in spring will suggest itself;
bear in mind that pruning brings new
1OOAA
for blossoms. The weaker the habit
of the bush, the more it needs the
knife. Climbing rose bushes are to be
pruned from the side. Some one ad-
vises cutting out in October at least a
great part of the old, and naturally,
all dead wood, thus looking towards
winter flowers. We are counselled also
never to let flowers when perfected,
remain on the bush to draw longer on
it's vigor.
These instructions are, of course,
for the Impractical; not for people
who bring Horticultural knowledge.
A rose known here as Native Pink,
or Cracker" Pink-ikely Identical
with the Pink Daily of the catalogues
is an excellent beginning; admir-
able in color and frequency, and pro-
fusion of bloom at intervals. The bush
is clean, vigorous (attains, in time,
great size), comparatively insect free,
and makes wholesome budding base
for other Sorts The blooming red
rose common here, wrongly called
Agrippina, is also desirable for itself
and as base; contributing, [ fancy,
to Marechal Mel buds inserted, that
rosy tinge seen on outer petals. I have
seen this variety of red rose forced to
a second-story window.
Of climbers or trailers; if one has a
suitable place, we advise planting
Cherokee (said to be strong
base for other climbers); like
the scuppernong grape vine, when
once fairly started, it knows no
limit of space hardly that Of time,
it is so enduring. It's evergreen tri-
leafet foliage makes a fine screen, the
more beautiful by it's annual abund-
ance of purest white, single flowers
of fruity fragrance which compensate
for the many and unmerciful thorns
with which the shoots are defended.
Beware of the aggressive Mac Cart
ney sometimes COMPOUNDED with the
Cherokee, but readily distinguished
therefrom by it's seven-to-nine leaflets
of darker green) unless you have an
adjoining poor section of wild land or
an old mine to cover.
