COMMERCIAL ROSE CULTURE 



The old loam from the houses may be spread back on the 

 land, reseeded, and in a few years' time will be good to use 

 over again, if needed. There is nothing better for topdressing 

 grass land than old soil taken out of the Rose benches. 



Plant the varieties subject to mildew away from others not 

 so liable to be affected, and plant some Richmond, Killarney, 

 and similar varieties, in solid beds, if possible, as these come 

 with more substance in the hot weather on solid beds than on 

 benches.
