I for many years cultivated extra double Ranuncul 

 and Hyacinths witli my own hands. Some gardener: 

 take up the roots every year, as soon as the leave! 

 have faded, after the flowering is over. Others only 

 take them up every alternate year. That was my cus- 

 tom for many years, and my Hyacinths retained their 



quently neglected this practice, and followed the more 



degenerated into single ones. 



Let not amateurs rejoice at seeing their Roses show 

 symptoms of producing some proliferousness. If they 

 suffered so to do, they will perish, or at any rate that are 



injured by it. The gardener should therefore be care- 

 ful, if he values his Rose, and does not wish to lose it, 

 not to allow it thus to vegetate, and cut off the affected 

 branch. \\ 'hen these various phenomena are the result 

 of vicissitudes in the seasons, every precaution should 

 be taken to prevent the plants suffering too much from 

 them. Thu3 in proliferousness some of the upper buds
