THE FLORAL WORLD AND GARDEN GUIDE. 
with at shop-doors or auction-rooms are seldom true to name, and 
always more or less injured by exposure during the time they have 
been out of the ground. The roots are very soon injured by exposure 
to the atmosphere, and should therefore be out of the ground as short 
a time as possible, and be protected in some manner during their 
transit from the nursery to the garden. Eoses on their own roots do 
not make such rapid progress during the first two years as those upon 
the brier, and it will be necessary to be satisfied with plants rather 
smaller. They will, however, soon attain the same size as the others, 
and in course of time even surpass them. To ensure a good display 
from the first, the distance between the plants should be about 
three feet each way. During the first summer, geraniums and other 
flowering plants may be put between them, but they must, under no 
consideration, be stifled by the growth of other things. Tread the 
soil about the plants very firm, and if the expense is not a serious 
matter, spread a layer of partly decayed manure over the surface. In 
March prune the previous season’s growth to the second or third 
joint, and in subsequent years prune according to the character of 
growth, and the growth made by each plant. To maintain a vigorous 
growth, a moderate dressing of manure will be necessary every year. 
It should be applied in the autumn, and then turned in without in- 
juring the roots. 
It must be understood that all the varieties are not alike snitable 
for the neighbourhood of towns, and in the list here given especial 
care has been taken to include none but the most suitable for the 
purpose indicated : —

The Shabby Way. — When “London Scenes and London People” appeared, 
it was noticed in these pages with some amount of approbation, with which it 
appears the publishers are satisfied. In the City Press of August 9, our notice is 
reproduced in the form cf an advertisement, and a novel method has been invented 
to turn it to account so that it may benefit “ London Scenes ” and render no service 
whatever to Floral World. At the end of the notice is appended, “ the F. 
Would.” Only one in a tliousand, perhaps, of the readers of the City Press — that 
is to say, the C. Press — will know what is meant by the shabby acknowledgment.
