The list offered below, together with the twelve “best? 
offered on page 146, and the set of 24 Irish-grown varieties on

but that the sorts listed are superior in size, hardiness, vigor, 
productiveness or some other characteristic that is necessary to 
make a good Rose.

able, preference being given to home-grown stock budded on 
Manetti, which is the most desirable for our climate. Care- 
should be taken in planting budded stock to set out deeply, 
planting them at least two inches below the point where budded, 
which prevents, to a great extent, the stock from suckeriug.
