ROSES 



The Climbing Roses should be yearly en- 

 riched in the spring with manure and bone- 

 meal, and, after two years, some old wood 

 should be cut out every autumn. Many of 

 the Crimson Ramblers and AVichuraiana in 

 my garden made growth last summer of 

 splendid great canes, larger around than 

 one's thumb and from ten to fourteen feet 

 long. Monday was the day for tying and 

 training the Roses, and often it seemed 

 impossible for them to grow so much in a 

 week. It would have been incredible, had 

 we not the actual proof before our eyes.
