160 THE CANADIAN HOIITICULTUKIST. 



up by tlie first of August, and give us an opportunity to rest until 

 another season. 



In color the fruit is red, and is said to be of high flavor. We are 

 not able to give Chas. Downing's opinion of its merits, he having only 

 committed himself, so far as we know, to the remark that it "is a very 

 promising new variety, M'itli most magnificent foliage." This reminds 

 one of the answer made by a non-committal bachelor, to the inquiry 

 if he did not think a certain young lady just magnificent, who replied, 

 " she has a most magnificent head of hair." 



But a hardy raspberry, one that can endure twenty-four degrees 

 below zero without flinching, that bears large crops of large red berries, 

 of good flavor, is worthy of being tested l)y our fruit growers*; and we 

 therefore state that any who wish to give it a trial can procure plants 

 of the gentlemen who first brought Henrietta out, by addressing G. H. 

 & J. H. Hale, South Glastonbury, Hartford Co., Connecticut, U. S. A. 



HOW SHALL I WINTER MY GERANIUMS, &c. ? 



Will you in your valuable periodical spare a corner to an anxious 

 amateur, and say the best manner plants can be protected in winter, 

 where there is neither greenhouse nor cold frames, and the space in the 

 room very limited. The collection consists of Geraniums, Fuohsias, 

 Abutilons, Heliotropes, and Coleuses. 



The following method has been suggested for the geranium, which 

 form the larger number of the plants, viz: To take them up, shake 

 the mould from the roots, dry them in the sun for a short time, place 

 in paper bags, tie them up, and keep them free from frost; in spring 

 place in a cold frame, water, and gradually prepare for out door culture. 



If any one has tried this plan, will they oblige with the result of 

 their experience. 



A GOOD ROSE. 



BY J. M. MGAINSH, ST. MARYS. 



I have just had the Marechal Neil Rose in bloom for the first time 

 with me. The roses are of a deep canary yellow, large, well formed, 

 double, and very fragrant. It well deserves the reputation of being 

 the finest yellow rose in existence. It is too tender to withstand the 

 severity of our winters unprotected, but can be grow^n as a pot plant, 

 and wintered in a cellar or cold pit.
