IRISH=GROWN 



ROSES. 



Some ten or twelve years ago several Philadelphia 

 amateur Rose growers imported collections of Dick- 

 son's Irish Roses, which gave such excellent results 

 that they at once gained a local reputation, which is 

 spreading each season, as we have sold them to all 

 parts of the country, and they have been so entirely 

 satisfactory thai we find it necessary to increase our 

 imports every year. From our own experience, as well 

 as from the reports received from our own cust<nners, 

 the collection of twenty-five sorts enumerated below 

 aie the varieties best suited to our climate, and have 

 been received direct from the growers in the north- 

 ern part of the Emerald Isle, where the soil and cli- 

 matic conditions favor the perfect development ani 

 the thorough ripening of the wood. These plants are 

 not grown on their own roots, but are budded or 

 gmftcd, and they should on this account be planted 

 sufficiently deep, so that the point at which they are 

 grafted is at least two inches belnw the surface. Wbea 

 this is done it is rare that a wild shoot starts from the 

 base, and if it should happen, the growth and foliage 

 of the stock are so distinct that it is readily recognized 

 by the most inexperienced amateur, and is easily re- 

 moved.
