ROSES. 
[chap. IX, 
especially at Lane’s, Berkhampstead,—-the 
latter nurseryman contriving* by means of 
forcing, to have roses beautifully in flower 
from the latter end of January to the middle 
of November every year. 
Roses are generally propagated by graft¬ 
ing or budding, and also by making layers 
and cuttings. In the latter case, the point 
of the shoot should be taken off, and the 
greater part of the leaves, to prevent an 
access of evaporation. (For Illustration, see 
p. 84.)
