a single Tea. Now, if we compare this record with a similar one 
for the last ten years the contrast will be seen to be very great. 
Of the nineteen varieties which bear a later date than 1881 only 
seven were received from France, thus giving an average of less than 
one Rose a year. Of these seven French Roses three are Hybrid 
Perpetuals:—Merveilie de Lyon (1882), Suzanne Marie Rodoca- 
nachi (1883), and Gustave Piganeau (1889), while four are Teas—• 
Hon. Edith Gifford (1882), Madame de Watteville (1883), Madame 
Hoste (1887), and Ernest Metz (1888). Moreover, all the four 
Teas were sent out by the same raiser, Guillot. Of the remaining 
twelve varieties, nine were raised in England, two in Ireland, and 
one in America, eight of them being H.P.’s, and four Teas—viz., 
1882, Princess of Wales, Lady Mary Fitzwilliam, and Heinrich 
Schultheis ; 1883, Queen of Queens ; 1885, Her Majesty and The 
Bride ; 1886, Viscountess Folkestone ; 1887, Mrs. John Laing and 
Earl of Dufferin ; 1889, Cleopatra and Souvenir de S. A. Piince ; 
1890, Jeannie Dickson. 
To those kind friends who assisted me in taking down the 
names of the Roses in the prize stands at the last Exhibition my 
thanks are again due. 
It is not every exhibition Rose that can be recommended for 
ordinary garden cultivation, but the following may be depended 
upon as likely to grow and flower well in most localities. No time 
should now be lost in ordering the plants from the nurseries. They 
will then arrive in November, when they should be at once planted, 
as it is very important to get them in the ground as early as 
possible. Plant firmly, and it is a wise precaution to at once secure 
each plant to a firm stake.

HOW TO IMPROVE OLD VINES. 
Vines possess such marvellous recuperative powers that it is 
somewhat difficult to determine when they are worn out. After 
they have reached an apparently worthless stage it is surprising 
how quickly they may be brought back to health, vigour, and 
fruitfulness again. I do not advocate the renovation of old Vines 
in preference to planting young ones in cases where the loss of a 
crop for one or two seasons is of no material consequence, and 
when labour and expense are matters of secondary consideration, 
provided they lead to the production of superior Grapes. There 
are, however, numerous instances in which Vines are in a very 
unsatisfactory state. This ought not to be allowed to continue 
without some effort being made to improve them. With proper 
treatment vast improvement may be effected in one season without 
the loss of a crop, and when once they are brought back to a 
healthy state old Vines may be depended upon to produce gooci 
crops of Grapes annually so long as they are well cared for ; in 
fact, it is no unusual occurrence to find old Vines under the charge 
of a good cultivator bearing Grapes immensely superior to those 
produced on young Vines by less skilful growers. 
There is no better time than the present for taking in hand 
the renovation of a Vine border in which early forced Vines are 
growing. The laterals will have been shortened back to five or
