thirds, varying the treatment somewhat with the variety 

 and the size and number of flowers required; some varie- 

 ties, especially the very strong growing ones, needing less 

 pruning than others, but with all varieties the smaller the 

 number of shoots the larger will be the flowers. 



WINTER PROTECTION. Banking up against the collar of 

 the bushes a foot or more with soil or manure should be 

 practised with all outdoor roses, and most of them will be 

 much benefited by tying up in coarse rye-straw or mats. 

 Pine boughs set up closely about them for the winter will 

 improve the quality of the blossoms very greatly. 



VARIETIES. We may divide the varieties most commonly 

 grown and most desirable into six groups: bedding-roses, 

 hybrid perpetuals, moss, climbing, Japanese, and yellow or 

 Austrian roses. It is impossible to give a list of varieties 

 that will succeed in all localities or under all conditions, 

 and each grower must decide largely what varieties will be 

 the most satisfactory for him by the success of growers in 

 his immediate vicinity. We, however, give a list that will 

 prove valuable under a great variety of conditions.
