way is to sow a quantity of seed every other year, and always 
have a nice batch of strong young roots coming forward.— 
A KITCHEN GARDENER. 
THE ROSE ELECTION.—No. 3. 
I THANK “WyYLD SAVAGE” for his kindly notice of the 
election. However galling to him, the Rose, it is satisfactory 
that to him, the man, the table and contents are of interest ; if 
they are so to him, they are still more likely to be to those 
who are not so well up in the subject, and for whose special 
benefit I consider they are meant. Catherine Mermet is not, 
however, this year in the first twenty-four, seeing she is No. 28, 
and I, with “ WYLD SAVAGE,” wonder she is as low; but the 
election of last year, ‘‘delusive’”’ as it was, placed her No. 20, 
so that I am rather at a loss to gather the source of his comfort. 
Can it be that he rejoices that that lovely Rose is eight pegs 
lower this year in an election that “ is neither a delusion nor a 
snare tohim?’” As to Gloire de Dijon, I may say that I do 
not consider this glorious and kindly Rose has fair play for 
exhibition purposes. It loves to give us quantities of bloom 
at all seasons of the year ; thus treated, is it likely to furnish 
exhibition blooms? Yet, even thus, a stray bloom shows us 
occasionally the metal it is made of. Shaded and prevented 
bearing more than half a dozen blooms (and it has in bygone 
days to my knowledge contributed to catch the judge’s eye 
and bring the stand into the premier rank), I believe it would 
do so again; but grown as it usually is, No. 59 may probably 
represent its fair position. 
By mistake the heading of the lists last week was that the 
Roses are in “order of merit.” This was not asked for this 
year, though some of them are approximate. Though numbered, 
this has rather been to insure the correctness of the number 
of Roses named than to express their relative merits—JOSEPH 
HINTON, Weomunster.
