ROSES THAT BLOOM IN JUNE. 73 



injurious in every respect. If space is limited, 

 choose the fewer sorts, or distribute the inferior sorts 

 to hedge rows or fences, and put only the best that 

 can be had, where they are to form a permanent 

 attraction. Formality of design attracts attention for 

 a time, but the eye soon wearies of it. The most 

 interesting disposition, and one that will offer the 

 greatest variety, is to plant the whites, blushes, pinks, 

 roses, reds, crimsons, and purples, each into separate 

 clumps, figures, or patches ; and to carry out a grand 

 arrangement, let each division of the rose have its 

 appropriate locality. It is ten years since we first 

 called attention to this system of rose growing ; it 

 is now being generally adopted in England. This 

 KosAKY can be formed on any piece of ground, from 

 a quarter of an acre to any required extent, either on 

 the lawn or any other spot for the purpose. Let the 

 ground be laid down in grass, or if it is there already 

 so much the better ; then cut out on the grass various 

 figures that may be required, giving every plant from 

 tw.o to four feet of room. With these few hints the 

 reader will see that such an arrangement will form a 

 scene of enchantment that language cannot portray. 

 It is not necessary to remove the old soil ; very decayed 

 manure (with an addition of road or river sand to 

 heavy soils) well incorporated with it, twelve to 

 eighteen inches deep, is all that is required.
