FORCING THE ROSE. 
Nove of the flowers of spring are more beautiful 
than the Rose, and it is easy to have a succession of 
blooms in any gardens where Vines are forced early. 
The main details of the work are to prune the Rose 
trees in good time, and to do this when they are dry

to saturate the entire mass of soil, but do not give any 
more until they really need it. It is also desirable 
not to push them on too rapidly at first. We have 
grown them remarkably well by placing a row of 
an early

The Tea and hybrid perpetual Roses are the best

the free-growing varieties with dwarf branching 
habit make the best pot Roses. It is better not to
