glass first and after several years were 

 superseded by other kinds. I might re- 

 fer to Papa Gontier as one of these. 

 This rose, when well grown and under 

 proper treatment, is the most prolific of 

 pink sorts. It is almost too single when 

 grown inside, but when planted in the 

 open it makes large, heavy buds of a 

 most beautiful shade of deep, rosy pink, 

 fully half a dozen degrees darker than 

 those from under glass. This sort is a 

 strong growing variety and an abundant 

 bloomer. Rainbow comes under the same 

 heading and, like the foregoing, when 

 well grown outside leaves nothing to be 

 desired for a good selling variety. La 

 France is usually not quite so prolific 

 of bloom and cannot always be depended 

 on to produce perfect flowers. 



Among the white sorts Gloire Lyon- 

 naise is considered one of the most satis- 

 factory. It has the quality of always 

 forming long, heavy stems and the size 

 and shape of the blossoms are perfect. 

 Ulrich Brunner is much more desirable 

 outside in any event. It is not an ever- 

 blooming rose even at its best and for 

 this reason it is not forced to any large 

 extent. It ^cts well when in the open 

 and is another of the varieties that need 

 little recommendation. Mrs. John Laing 

 is another of the same class and its color 

 cannot be duplicated with anything 

 grown inside. It is surprising, when 

 one commences to think, how few varie- 

 ties are grown in the greenhouse and 

 what a list of the discarded sorts we 

 have planted largely outside and find 

 them the best of the marketable kinds,

I had the same experience as A. L. H. 

 with my violets. I irrigated them and 

 in about two days after I noticed 

 that plants were dying and leaves were 

 covered with spots. It looked as though 

 I was going to lose all my plants. I 

 went to work and pulled all the leaves
