 as a pot plant for forcing for Easter. 

 There are other exceptionally fine old 

 varieties which are practically unknown 

 to the rose lover of to-day, and which 

 should be in every collection, such as 

 Adam, Souvenir d'un Ami, Eliza Sav- 

 age, Bougere. La Sylphide, Shirley Hib- 

 bard, Madame Willermoz, Rubens, De- 

 voniensis and many others thai I might 

 mention. 



The demand for field grown roses was 

 never greater than at the present time, 

 in fact it is almost impossible to get a 

 list of any size of the popular varieties 

 from any of the principal growers late 

 (in the .season, they being "sold out of 

 most of them. One reason for this is 

 that the trade, that i>. 1 mean the retail 

 dealers, are fast leainin<; that they can 

 bu\- a much huL'er and ^trnn^ei- plant 

 for less money than they possibly can 

 grow it for in their small yards, to say 

 nothing of the better satisfaction it will 

 give their customers. Also that the 

 small roses grown in the east and sent 

 out here by mail at seemingly a very 

 small price have proven to be anything 

 but satisfactory and dear at an,\- price, 

 as very few of them live or ever give 

 ■satisfaction, and the general rose buy- 

 (Crs are fast learning that they are not 

 to be compared with thoroughly ripened 

 California field grown stock. Another 

 reason is that we can grow any of the 

 tender sorts here without any protec- 

 tion, which cannot be done in anv of the

CRIMSON RAMBLERS. 



I have a few plants of Ci-imson 

 Rambler rose that were received 

 late in the fall and were outside 

 grown. They were potted upon arrival 

 and kept in a temperature of 40 to 45 

 degrees until they broke, which was 

 from a foot to eighteen inches from top 

 of pot. Now they have some bloom, and 

 shoots from seven to eight feet long 

 without bloom. Ought I to cut these 

 shoots back? If so. when? And how 

 far? Or shall I let them grow?

We know very well that the large 

 glowers of the east depend mostly on 

 the lifted plants and are uniformly sue- 

 ee.ssful with them. I havi- 1 1 i.'d bar.l In

 miles away and shipped to me. T have 

 never yet succeeded in getting them to 

 bi-eak satisfactorily and have now some 

 tifty plants just in about the same condi- 

 tion as those of your correspondent. I 

 lielieve if you have them growing on your 

 own place and (here is not the slightest

 doubtedly cheaper than having to grow 

 a plant all summer w'ith its watering 

 and other care. William Scott.
