TO CORRESPONDENTS. 
PROPAGATING TEA-scENTED Rosrs.—J. H. W.—The propagation of tea-scented 
roses by means of cuttings affords a ready means of increasing the stock of these 
varieties, and, with careful management, a large percentage of the cuttings will 
strike. ‘Towards the end of July select moderately-stout shoots, and take them off 
about six inches from the base, and cut them up into lengths of four joints each, 
The soft points of the shoots should be rejected, because of their not striking so 
freely as the moxe mature portions. From each length of the stem remove the two 
lower leaves nearly close to the stems, but not close enough to injure the buds, and 
then insert them in pans of average depth. In the preparation of the pans, place, 
first of all, a layer of crocks in the bottom; cover with some loose material, and 
then fill to within an inch of the rim wi int sandy soil. Over the surface spread 
a layer, three-quarters of an inch in thickness, of silver sand. The sand must be 
watered moderately, and made quite firm, Insert the cuttings to a suflicient depth
