BUDDED ROSES. 
Our roses are propagated in two ways : 
from cuttings and by budding. The latter 
method consists in inserting a bud of the 
variety desired under the baric of another 
plant, which is technically called the "stock." 
The inserted bud grows and produces a shoot 
which is the only one allowed to remain, the 
stock being cut oif above where the bud was 
inserted. Many of the finest varieties of roses 
cannot be rooted from cuttings, and many will 
grow much more strongly budded on wild 
stock than on their own roots. 
A budded rose may be recognized by the 
bend or angle in the stem (see illustration) 
where the bud was inserted and top of the 
stock was cut off. Bear in mind that all 
shoots which start from below this point are 
wild ones, and should be cut off close to the 
stock. Also see that in planting the bend is 
below the surface of the soil two or three 
inches, and the plant will be less liable to 
send up wild shoots. 
HARDY PLANTS, BULBS, Etc. 
(jFor either spring or fall setting.) 
Anemone (Japonica). One of the best herbaceous border plants grown. It grows up 
fresh from the root each spring, and its peculiar leaves are very attractive until 
foil, when spikes of beautiful blossoms appear, which remain for weeks. Single 
blossoms are about two inches in diameter. Single red and single white. 
Eulalia Japonica Zebrina. The most beautiful of all the ornamental grasses. 
Foliage marked crosswise with alternate bands of white' and green. Its large 
lilooms, like the Pampas grass, develop in the autumn. Hardy. A small root 
when delivered ; thiee to five feet high when fully grown. 
Herbaceous Paeonias. For a brilliant display of bloom during May and June 
there is nothing that will equal the pieonias. Many have flowei-s of immense size, 
most intensely double, and produced in profusion. Piconias are perfectly hardy, 
and succeed in almost any soil, except where water stands. 
Tree Paeonias (Moutau). A native of China. Handsome, flowering shrubs, attain- 
ing from si.x to eight feet in height in about ten yeare, with proper care. The 
flowers are remarkably striking, of gorgeous colors, very numerous, enormous in 
size, often measuring si.x to nine inches across ; begins to bloom in May. Although 
hardy, the plants are greatly improved by a slight protection in winter.
