less perfect, growth; and if the plants are required to be removed at 
the time of flowering, they will receive a severe check. Both of these 
occurrences must therefore be prevented, by placing the pots on 
inverted seed-pans. 
The aim throughout the growing season should be to get a few stout 
well-ripened shoots by autumn—shoots that will bear strong pressure 
between the finger and thumb, without giving any indication of soft- 
ness, for it is these which will produce strong and perfect blooms. 
The way to accomplish this is to place the plants a good distance from 
each other, and as the young shoots form they should be set wide apart, 
that they may enjoy full sunlight. From the earliest period of growth, 
it is necessary to look them over occasionally, with the design of 
encouraging such shoots as maintain the best position, and checking 
those whose tendency is to exclude others from a fair rate of growth, 
and destroy the symmetry of the plants. Weak shoots should be cut 
out, and disbudding practised freely. If two or three eyes burst from 
the same point, threatening to crowd across each other, a portion should 
be at once removed.—(Paul’s Rose Garden, a publication well worth 
procuring by all Rose growers.) 
TEA-ScENTED Roses as ConsERVATORY CLimBERS.—The follow- 
ing kinds of Roses are suitable for the purpose :—Abricate, fawn, with 
apricot centre; Julia Mansais, pure white; Belle Allamande, cream, 
shaded with blush; Bougere, rosy-bronze; Baret, rosy-purple; Clara 
sylvain, pure white; Delices de Plantier, coppery-rose ; Devoniensis, 
pale yellow; Eugene Desgaches, clear rose; Goubalt, bright rose, 
centre buff; Lynnais, rosy-lilac, very Jarge; Madame de St. Joseph,

changing to buff; Souvenir d’un Aine, salmon and _ rose-shaded ; 
Triumph de Luxemberg, coppery-rose. Any of these will grow ten 
or more feet high, and by giving them a season of rest, in withholding 
water for the time, then gradually supplying them, at any desirable 
period, even winter, a fine display may be had.
