ROSES. 
S far hack as can be remembered, the Rose has been acknowl- 
edged as the "Queen of Flowers.” No garden, however 
small, is complete without Roses. There are no flowers 
grown that are more universally admired than the Rose, 
and their cultivation is yearly extending, as it becomes 
more generally known that they are so easily grown, and 
that they can he procured at so trifling an expense. All 
that is necessary is to plant them in a bed of deep, fresh, 
loamy soil, well enriched with thoroughly rotted manure, and they are as certain 
to do well as a bed of Geraniums. 
CULTURAL NOTES. 
PREPARATION OF THE GROUND. 
Roses will grow in any fertile ground, but are much improved in bloom, fra- 
grance and beauty by rich soil, liberal manuring, and good cultivation. The 
ground should he subsoiled and well spaded to the depth of a foot or more, and 
enriched by digging in a good coat of cow manure or any fertilizing material that 
may be convenient. Renew old beds by decayed sods taken from old past ure land.
