'1'!k' Ayrshire, Michigan or Prairie roses, &c., are 

 li- ■moil for their climbiug habits, growing frequently 

 I'Mty feet in a season. They are admirably adapted 

 r iovering arbor-s, walls of buildings, &i., present- 

 u' .1 most beautiful sight when covered with perfect 

 Ills of various colors. They flower only in June. 

 None of the following are considered hardy roses, 

 13 they need protection more or less during winter: 

 Bourbon, Tea, Chinese or Bengal, and Noisette roses. 

 ?ome of the Bourbon will stand without much care, 

 ft is one of the finest and most esteemed classes, and 

 jlooms continually. The Tea roses mostly hare the 

 ragranee of the tea — free growers and well adapted 

 or pot culture. The Chinese are fine for bedding

 ummer and autumn. The Noisette roses are quite 

 imilar in character to the Tea rose, excepting fra- 

 grance and their cluster blooming habit

 'om a collection of more than 300 sorts.

 apt to induce bihous diseases (so called): and nature 

 herself in the succession of her fruits and vegetables 

 gives us timely hints for our own conduct. But un- 

 less its products are of good quality and properly 

 grown, the palate will reject them, how much soever
