forcing Rose. 
Choose all those with good straight stalks, 
if they are worked plants, and with strong 
wood, if on their own bottoms. If the soil 
is strong, and grows coarse vegetables well, 
or most things flourish in it, very little or no

dig in with each plant a good spadeful of 
dung, and loam mixed with the surrounding 
earth. The plant should be placed in the 
ground the same depth as it was before, and

a handsome bush, or forming a proper head, 
according as it is to be a shrub or a tree. In 
all planting, the bruised ends of the roots 
must be cut smooth, and all damaged and
