ROSES FOR SMOKY DISTRICTS, OPEN SPACES NEAR 

 LARGE TOWNS, CEMETERIES, OR WHERE SOIL IS 

 VERY POOR. 



Those marked thus * would be especially good kinds to plant in gardens near the sea, 

 and the bushes should be upon their own roots. Kinds marked thus ** are Rambling 

 Roses. Dig the ground deeply before planting ; incorporate some manure at same time. 

 If the texture is heavy, add grit, road scrapings, and at all times burnt garden refuse is 

 very valuable to mix in. If the soil be light and sandy, give preference to the Teas, 

 Hybrid Teas, and Chinese, and work in some clayey soil if procurable, failing that a good 

 dressing of cow manure is very helpful, especially if a good layer is put underneath at a 

 depth of about two feet.
