Rose, Her Majesty. — I have got the Rose, Her Majesty, in a 
6-in. pot; it has made a strong, vigorous growth, and over 4 ft. 
in length, hut shows no signs of flowering. As I am very 
anxious to see it bloom, it has occurred to me that it may he a 
climber, and should be treated as such. Is this so ?— B. Brook. 
It is a most vigorous grower, hut is not a climber.—E d.] 
Antirrhinum strain.— A. B.: To preserve these garden 
flowers actually true to colour, striping, or to name, they must 
be propagated by cuttings. They are easily struck in pots or 
boxes of sandy soil under a handlight from now onwards, and 
the earlier they are struck the better if large plants are desirable 
for next year’s work. They can be raised in quantity from seed, 
but great variation in the colour of the flowers will he the result.
