 and stored through the win-

 worked portion being set well below the surface. Root- 

 L^rafting is an easy and convenient method of propa- 

 1,'ation under glass. Jackson Dawson's practice is to 

 use the whip- or splice-graft, but the veneer-graft is 

 also employed, with bits of B. multiflora root 2-3 in. 

 long for the stock, the cion being somewhat longer but 

 of equal diameter. They are firmly tied with rafBa and 

 waxiii; made into bunches they are covered with moist

 age is about three months. Bosa multiflora is an ex- 

 cellent stock for garden Roses, since it does not sucker; 

 this great advantage, too, is also obtained by using the 

 root-graft as above disn ilir.l. Some of the commercial 

 florists use Manetti sio, k ilaniiil in thumb-pots. Cut

 There is soum ilitiviitirc of opinion among gardeners as 

 to the respeitnr ni.rits of own-root and grafted plants; 

 just now many of the foremost growers prefer the lat- 

 ter for forcing. It is a perplexing question and could 

 only be settled by a series of exact experiments costing 

 much time and money. It is also quite possible that 

 matters of temperature, soil, moisture and food are 

 e(iually iiiiportatit factors.
