Diseases. — Mildew is by far the most preva- 

 lent, and is often very destructive to young 

 roses in their seedling state. It also attacks 

 plants when fully grown, particularly in dry 

 soils, and during dry seasons, and some sorts 

 are much more liable to it than others. The 

 best remedy is to syringe the foliage towards 

 evening, and immediately afterwards to dust 

 it over with flour of sulphur. Where this 

 may be objected to on account of appearance, 

 sulphur in a dry state may be applied by the 

 sulphurator during the day, and while the 

 leaves are dry. Watering with a solution of 

 nitre is said to destroy it. In open well-ex- 

 posed situations the disease seldom occui'S, 

 whereas in pent-up and shaded places its appear- 

 ance is certain. 



The Red fungus, probably a species of Uredo, 

 often attacks rosea during autumn. Rubbing 

 the leaves between the finger and thumb is an 

 effectual although a slow process. Dusting 

 them with sulphur, or finely-powdered Ume in 

 a fresh state, is more expeditious and certain. 



Green centres appearing in roses may be con- 

 sidered a disease. The consequence is the total 

 destruction of such blooms as they occur in. 

 The cause has been very satisfactorily traced to 

 excessive manuring with rank or green manure, 

 and this points out the proper remedy.

§ 3. — THE LAWN. 



The ground immediately surrounding the 

 mansion is by universal consent denominated the 

 lawn ; and with the exceptions where modern 

 good taste has overcome the prejudices of a by- 

 gone age, and so far restored architectural gardens 

 and terraces on one or more sides of the house, 

 the lawn is made to finish close up to the walls, 

 an unbroken surface of grassy sward, merely re- 

 duced in level so far as to render it comfortable 

 to walk upon, and often with no other accom- 

 paniment to the shaven grass but some paltry 

 wire fence to divide it from the park, and pro- 

 bably two or three clumps of the most unmeau-
