THE GARDENING WORLD 
April 2, 1904. 
garganica, and its varieties, better known under tlie name of 
C. fragilis. These should be planted towards the top of the 
wall, where they will get an abundance of light, and they will 
flower more profusely than they would in the shade. If you 
want a strong growing trailer that will spread over a consider¬ 
able area of the wall or something that you can train up to the 
roof, you should plant Tropaeolum Ball of Fire, a brilliant 
scarlet variety propagated from cuttings. 
Mushrooms Failing to Grow. 
A bed which we made up and spawned in October has tailed 
to give us any results. Can you suggest why this is so? (R. M.) 
Failure to get the spawn to run is often due to the condition 
of the manure as to moisture when the bed is made up. If the 
manure was too wet when placed in a heap to ferment, it results 
in failure to produce the necessary heat to get the spawn to run. 
Manure from horses that have recently been given medicine 
should not be used for making up Mushroom beds, as the 
chemical effects exercised by the medicine are believed to be 
injurious to the welfare of Mushrooms. Without knowing the 
actual facts of the case, these are the suggestions we should make.

Irish Roses. —For some years past Irish Roses have been 
enjoying a run of popularity. This applies to new varieties, but 
the Irish florists are being advised to grow Roses in order to get 
cut blooms for the British markets, and thereby enter into com¬ 
mercial competition' with France for the early supply of Roses. 
The varieties recommended for this purpose are Catherine 
Mermet, Niphetos, Liberty, General Jacqueminot, and Mine. 
Hoste. There are, however, many beautiful new Irish Roses 
which should find place in all private collections.
