1 his charming class is easily distinguished from others by the peculiar and delightful 
fragrance of the flowers and beautiful foliage. All the different shades of yellow wanting 
in Hybrid Perpetuals will be found in this class. All are suitable for pot culture or 
planting m conservatories ; again, on walls they are invaluable. When planted out¬ 
doors, if possible a warm sheltered situation should be chosen. If the soil is heavy or wet, 
it should be drained, and some lighter soil or decayed leaf mould mixed with it ; raised 
beds are also recommended. 
In severe weather protect the heads with common fern or brakes (see “ Pro¬ 
tecting,” page 5). 
Prune early in April.— The varieties in this class, if grown for show purposes or 
for fine specimen blooms, should be cut back hard to good sound wood as advised for the 
Hybrid Perpetuals (see page 9), but if required for garden decoration and for cutting in 
quantities, take out any weak and bad wood, shorten the remaining shoots a little, but 
always take care to cut below any parts that mav have been injured by frost. 
Varieties requiring special treatment will be noticed in their descriptions. 
Standards and Half Standards, with cart and attention in the way of protection in 
severe weather, will pass through a winter quite as well as the Dwarfs Of Standard and 
Dwarf Teas a great number is grown, all on Briar Stocks specially selected. The finest 
show flowers in this section are undoubtedly grown on Standard and Half Standard Briars.
