(By II. ERICHsEN.)

Nothing can be said in praise OF the
rose that has not been said before.
Universally recognized as the most
beautiful flower. II is the one child Of
Flora around which wealth of senti-
ment, history and poetry clusters. The
maidens Of ancient Greece and Rome
adorned themselves with chaplets and
garlands Of roses, as does the maiden
of today, and then as now the rose
was regarded as the emblem of beauty
and true worth, flt to crown q queen.
No wonder, then, that 1t is 30 highly
esteemed that even the orchid, so
often regarded as its rival. will never
supersede It in popular estimation.
OF late the beauty of the rose has
been so widely appreciated that the
popularity II now enjoys and the de-
mand for hardy garden roses are an
nually increasing. No garden is COM
plete without roses and every family
ought 10. grow them in abundance, for
never have roses been so cheap and
beautiful as now. Moreover. the cult
walton of the flower is so simple that
no excuse can be offered for its neg
lect.
The first requisite for success in
rose growing is the selection of good
healthy plants. Weak, sickly roses
are dear at any price. Many of these
plants lack vigor because they are
stunted by remaining too long IT. the
