DREER S GARDEN CALENDAR. 





Pillar Roses can be formed by training strong 

 growing varieties on the trunk of a small tree 

 of cedar or other durable wood, the branches 

 being cut within eight or ten inches of the stem. 

 Strong growing shoots are formed by first giv- 

 ing a strong root to the rose, by means of a rich 

 soil and good culture, and then cutting back 

 freely. Nothing can be finer than the effect 

 produced by the blooming of a plant each of 

 the Queen of Prairies and Baltimore Belle, both 

 trained together on one pillar. Figure 3 is part 

 of a rose-pillar, with the growth complete, and 

 in full bloom. 



Some of the Hybrid perpetual roses are, from 

 their vigorous growth, delightful fragrance and 

 free blooming qualities, admirably adapted for 

 training as above ; it is however only under 

 good culture and management, that we would 

 recommend them — the most suitable for this 

 purpose are, Auguste Mie, Baronne Prevost, Lord Raglan 

 Madam Laffay.
