occasional flower will come forth, but it is desirable to rest tbem there till 

 required for use again in December. 



If no heat is applied to the house, less moisture should be used, and the first 

 flowering will take place in May, the second in July and August. 



The best season for repotting Roses is September. Shake a good portion of 

 the soil away, using larger pots when required. There is no better soil for 

 roses in pots than strong turfy loam and cow-dung, with sufficient drift sand to 

 render it thoroughly porous. 



I shall conclude this paper with a list of a few good sorts, which appear best 

 suited to realize the objects in view : —

BUDDING VINES. 



J Uv HEN at Trentham, a short time ago, my attention was directed to an 



\ . . . 



*&y? ' experiment which Mr. Stevens had made in the budding of the Vine, 



(M^ which was highly interesting, and attended with the most satisfactory 

 °l§§ results. One of the large glass cases erected for the culture of the Vine, 

 was planted in the June of 1868 with strong plants of Lady Downe's Seedling ; 

 they made vigorous growth, and were in September of the same year budded 

 with well-ripened eyes of the Madresfield-Court Muscat, which remained dormant 

 during the winter. The Vines were cut down to the inserted eyes, and in March, 

 1869, gradually started into growth. The buds burst vigorously, and showed 

 from three to four bunches on each shoot ; all, however, were removed, with 

 the exception of one bunch to each Vine, and these are swelling off surpris- 

 ingly, and promise to make bunches of from 2 lb. to 3 lb. weight. The growth of 

 the Vines is healthy and robust, promising well for future results. Mr. Stevens 

 called my attention to the necessity of allowing the bandages used for holding
