Eloeal Woeld know, to their cost, that the cultivation 
of roses in towns is a far more difficult task than in the 
country, where the atmosphere is at all times pure and 
free from the noxious smoke, which is such a great 
enemy to town and suburban gardeners. It is, therefore, especially 
necessary that the suburban gardener should be well advised upon 
the principal points in the culture of the rose ; and as the season for 
buying and planting is once more at hand, it has occurred to me that 
a few practical remarks upon these important matters will be of espe- 
cial service to a large body of readers. 
Standard roses are, it may be said with safety, most objectionable 
in country gardens, excepting in the rosarium proper, for they are 
far from pleasing in appearance, even when in bloom they are 
quite surpassed by bush roses ; but in suburban gardens they are

second their utter inability to withstand the injurious effects of a 
vitiated atmosphere. Of the truth of this we have only to take
