GENERAL CULTURE OF THE ROSE. 85 



Each cultivator lias his peculiar mode of doing things, 

 and there may he those who deem the mode laid down 

 here inferior to their own. From these we should he glad 

 to Iiear, and to make any corrections they may suggest, 

 where such corrections appear to be founded upon true 

 principles. In order to make our work as perfect as pos- 

 sible, wo have not hesitated to add to our own experience 

 all the information derived from a personal inspection of 

 French and English nurseries, and to cull from foreign 

 works and periodicals all that may interest our readers. 

 Such information, as far as it coincides with our own ex- 

 perience, we shall gladly incorporate, with the hope that 

 we may be successful in presenting every fact of interest 

 which may exist respecting the cultivation of our favorite 

 flower.
