ROSES. 
The successful culture of roses is a form of horticul¬ 
ture for the expert. It requires care, patience and a com¬ 
prehensive knowledge of conditions influencing rose 
growth and development. There are hundreds of varie¬ 
ties. The subject of rose growing and the number of 
varieties are too extensive for anything except a super¬ 
ficial discussion in this little book. Only a few hardy 
varieties are described. For description of Climbing 
Roses see “Vines and Climbers.” 
Prairie Rose. Rose setigera .—A native, trailing variety 
with clusters of single flowers of a deep rose color. A
