cool end in ordinary weather, dropping to 

 55 and 50 degrees in zero weather or below, 

 quite an assortment can be handled satis- 

 factorily. 



A good selection for a private place for all 

 purposes would be: The Bride, Bridesmaid, 

 or Killarney, Perle des Jardins, and Souvenir 

 de Wootton. Souvenir de Wootton is not 

 equal to Meteor in colour, but it is impossible 

 to grow the latter with the other varieties 

 named, as Meteor needs a night temperature 

 of 65 to 68 degrees, and a day temperature 

 from 72 to 85 degrees. Kaiserin Augusta 

 Victoria does best in a night temperature 

 from 58 to 60 degrees. Papa Gontier and 

 Souvenir de Wootton do best in a night 

 temperature from 53 to 55 degrees, and a 

 rise from 10 to 15 degrees on bright days. 

 Perle des Jardins, Sunset and Papa Gontier 

 will do in the cooler part of the house. Ameri- 

 can Beauty, the standard of merit in a rose 

 for winter flower, should have a house of its 

 own. It requires special treatment if it is to 

 do its best, and further details for the manage- 

 ment of that variety are given in another 

 section. It is sometimes grown in a mixed 

 house, where it occupies the centre bench
