ence of affording nosegays or increasing the quantity of the plant 

 placed upon it. 



The heights most in use having been shown, it may be re- 

 marked, that for a weeping rose to stand singly, (perhaps sur- 

 rounded with a wire guard and creepers upon it to have a more 

 marked effect,) you cannot find a stem too high, if it be pro- 

 portionally strong. A fine plant of this sort, six, seven, or even 

 eight feet high, budded with a noisette, or boursalt, looks beau- 

 tiful, and its long free branches, covered with clusters of roses, 

 have a wild and luxuriant appearance, which give a distinct cha- 

 racter to a tree budded in this way. 



Thus having arranged where the plants are to be, and having 

 made the earth good all around, stake up each tree with a neat, 

 clean hazel stake, (unless the stock be so strong as not to re- 

 quire it,) saw off the top level with the top of the wild stem ex- 

 actly, a matter that conveys a great air of neatness, and with a 

 piece of bass, or better a small strip of pitched rope, attach your 

 tree to the stake.

wood's agrippina. {purple.) 

 I Before alluded to this flower, which I designated " The Prince 

 of Piccotees, I therefore give it first place in my remarks. It 

 is a model by which I would recommend judgment to be formed. 

 The leaf, a beautiful white, is perfectly round, or what is term- 

 ed rose-leafed, is delicately edged with a brilliant purple, so 

 equally distributed, that Nature's best artist seems to have been 

 employed on the work, and so well has he performed it, that I 

 trust he is at the present time most busily employed on a seed 

 bed of mine, now coming into bloom; though I imagine, from the 

 number and goodness of the flowers raised by Wood, that he 

 keeps this first rate artist in his constant employ.
