of Europe. It will thrive in any soil except a sand, and . 
would amply remunerate those who would undertake its cul- 
tivation on a large scale, as the daily increase of our manu- 
factories will cause an enlarged demand for this indispensable

ROSES. Boe ak 
_ No class of plants, so easy of culture as this, yields more 
intrinsic delights to the amateur; the diversity of size, co- 
Jour, fragrance, and form, have been varied by art to an al- 
most infinite degree, and in one collection alone in Europe, 
above 1200 varieties are enumerated. Enduring the rigour 
of the severest winters uninjured, and yielding with so little 
attention such a rich accumulation of beauty and fragrancé, 
every garden should possess at Jeast all the more conspicu- 
ous varieties of this unrivalled flower; and it is hoped ere 
long we shall see the fashion followed in this country, which 
has for years prevailed in England, of training the hardy va- 
rieties of the Chinese Everblooming Roses against the sides 
of our country houses and cottages, as the profusion of flowers 
which they daily afford from spring to autumn, gives to the 
retirement, of these rural scenes a degree of Floral enchant- 
ment, and throws an air of magic round the spot. 
YELLOW ROSES. 
Some complain that the double yellow Roses donot flower 
well; it is therefore proper to remark, that they require an 
airy situation, and a light rich soil, and that every autumn one 
half of the old wood should be cut down within four inches of 
the ground; by this means a succession of thrifty bleomin 
shoots will be kept up. The single yellow, and the red an 
yellow Austrian, it is well to treat in the same manner, though 
they bloom freely in almost any soil, and with little or no care. 
EVERGREEN TREES AND SHRUBS. 
These, if taken from the woods, should be planted in win- 
ter with balls of frozen earth; but, if taken from a nursery, 
where they have been naturalized to an upland soil, the pre- 
ferable season is the spring, as many Evergreens fail when 
transplanted in autumn, especially if the earth falls entirely 
from the reots, and the frost penetrates to the earth below 
them when planted, which it seldom fails to do in the north- 
ern and middle states. |
