by direct imporlations from Holland, France and England, added to 
those of our own growing. These are hardy, strong plants, grown out- 
doors, and have bloomed in the nursery rows. Tlieyare, therefore, not 
to be compared witb the cheap imported Roses, or those which are so 
freely advertised and sent out b>' mail, which beinggrown in tlie green- 
house seldom stand tlie shock of removal, or give the purcliaser much 
pleasure. 
Per Contra. Notwithstanding our Roses are packed and delivered 
with so much care, and excel in beauty, size and freshness, we shall 
doubtless continue to hear of extravagant, or more correctly, of exor- 
bitant prices paid for inferior plants, to agents and speculators, who 
Sierambulate the country with gorgeous colored jnctures and yet more 
jlazing and ridiculous falsehoods and promises. 
For winter protection, draw the soil i foot Iiigh about the plants, 
or even more, if convenient. Manure can be jjut on for additional pro- 
tection. It need not be rotted ; green will answer just as well, and be 
covered under in the spring.
