230 PRACTICAL FLORICULTURE. 



to be frozen in winter. But the result from this method 

 is far less satisfactory than in propagating Roses from cut- 

 tings of the young wood; here we lose an average of 50 

 per cent, while from the young shoots, if done at the time 

 and in the manner described in the Chapter on Propaga- 

 tion, not even 1 per cent need be lost. 39 45.

29th. Overhauled and arranged recently potted off 

 plants. Tuberose flowers are now produced in quantity 

 from bulbs that were planted in benches in green-house,

 Boses, and Tuberoses, are now produced in large quanti- 

 ties from the plantations previously made, as recorded. We 

 find that in the planting out of Tuberose bulbs on the 15th
