Any specimens that are being planted now

Be' sure that the roots of Rose trees do

it -if every care be taken to prevent over- 
■yness at the roots, and a thick mulch of 
flf-rotted manure be instantly applied,

iwly-planted specimens. Before putting on

The work e>f pruning Roses may now com- 
ence. Select those plants—of the Hybrid 
Jrpetual section—which have very incon- 
ucuous buds at the base of the branches, to 
r pruned, for dealing with first. Very ro¬ 
ast growing varieties must not be pruned as 
ird as others which are more weakly in 
rowth. The hard pruning in the latter case

pruned at the proper season Clema- 
make satisfactory growth and blossom 
afterwards. These plants are much 
as a rule, and consequently do 
t give us the wealth of flowers they other- 
se would if well treated. The necessary 
Lining should now be done without any 
rther delay; but all sections should not 
pruned. For the benefit of inexperienced 
rsons I will here name the different see¬ 
ms. The Jackmannii and Viticella see¬ 
ms must be cut down to about i ft. from 
i ground level; the Lanuginosa section 
rst be moderately pruned, and the Florida 
d Patens section not pruned at all.

Jackmannii should be done,

Plants growing in pots may be put out at 
most any time, but others growing in bor- 
rs should not be lifted and transplanted 
te in the spring. Pot plants should be 
eferred even for present planting. They
