 these should be at such a distance as not to sap the fertility

 the plants being less liable to injury by late spring or early 

 fall frosts. 



298. Soil. A deep, rather heavy loam, with consider-

 soil is especially good for the hybrid perpetuals. A 

 lighter, warmer soil is better adapted for the teas, hybrid 

 teas and the Bourbons. The yellow and the Scotch roses

 itself to any soil. The soil for the teas and the hybrid 

 teas should be well drained or they will be attacked by
