TEA EOSES ITS TOWXS. 



The citizen readers of this work have been frequently advised to grow 

 tea roses under glass. It fortunately happens to be a fact, that whatever 

 plant is too delicately constituted to endure unhurt the smoke of towns, 

 can be grown under glass to perfection. To use a comprehensive expres- 

 sion, Londoners may grow anything under glass, provided they do not 

 roast, bake, or boil the plants, contingencies likely enough when glass is 

 put up without some forethought of the use to be made of it, or where 

 greenhouses alread)' standing are suddenly appropriated to the culture of 

 hardy plants. Yet it only needs proper management to grow the hardiest 

 of plants in common greenhouses, as I have had proof this season, for my 

 roasting lean-to has been filled with hardy and nearly hardy plants since 

 the end of May, and there has not been a leaf scorched all through the 

 tropical heat of June and July ; safetj- was secured by shading, plentiful 

 ventilation, and the abundant use of water, and the result is, that I have 

 been enabled to get up a stock of various subjects that were required in 

 haste, and that with such parching weather would positively have made 

 less progiTss out of dooK:, dujing such drought and heat. J have several 

 times put it on record in the Fj.oeal AYokld that at Stoke Newington tea 

 roses are not generally happy. Gloire de Dijon, and Devoniensis. 

 Safrano, Kiphetos, and sometimi s Sombreuil and Narcisse, do pretty well 

 out of doors ; but to have a cdleetion exposed to all weathers is rather a 

 vexation than a pleasure. Peo})le who take notes in my garden tell 

 me the air must be remarkably pure and the soil one of the best in 

 England. It is true the air is the purest I know of at the same 

 distance from Loudon, that is, three miles as the crow flies ; and the soil 

 is a fat yellow loam I'esting on clay, and in some parts the clay is near the 

 surface. But much of the beauty of vegetation here is simply the result 

 of good culture. If I intend a plant to grow, and there is a reasonable 

 probability of its growing, it wants for nothing requisite to its success.
