 budding be done as quickly as possible. 



Selection of Varieties.— E.yhx\dL Perpetuals, which perhaps are the most 

 charming, will not, unfortunately, flower satisfactorily in the low country, and I 

 would not advise anyone to plant them much under 2,500 feet elevation. The 

 Teas, Bourbons, and Noisettes are the kinds most likely to succeed at low 

 elevation. I will, therefore, give separate lists to be selected from, for elevations 

 below and above 2,500 feet. The varieties named can be obtained from any one 

 of the leading English rose nurseries, and if they are sent out during their 

 resting period, they will travel very well in an ordinary dry packing case.
