TEA AND NOISETTE SECTION 
These are so delicately beautiful and refined as to be unrivalled. They are 
ever blooming from May to November. A slight protection in the form of brake 
or bracken, tucked into the heads of the plants, should be given in very severe 
weather ; dwarf plants may be earthed up like celery. 
A high position and good porous soil suit them best, and undoubtedly the 
finest flowers are produced on HALF- STANDARDS, whether in the open 
ground or in pots. They like liberal treatment in manuring, and when planted 
in masses nothing can be more beautiful. 
I^~ If large blooms are required for exhibition , Teas must be closely pruned 
leaving only about three eyes on each shoot, but if grown for garden 
ornamentation very little pruning is required, cutting away only the 
weakest wood. For this class we advise good decomposed stable 
manure . 
The varieties in this section specially recommended for exhibition are 
marked thus*, and with but two or three exceptions they are all good strong
