We have besides, a full supply of those sorts which can be grown from cut¬ 
tings, and which are therefore on their own roots. 
Our limited space and the late date of issue prevent us from saying much 
about the newer Roses. We have not been successful with Mr. Bennett’s Hybrid 
Teas. Reference is now made to his first introductions. Those recently brought 
out have not been long enough in our hands to enable us to form an opinion. 
Of the productions of other raisers, Madame Alexandre Bemaix , M'lie Brigitte 
Violet and Pierre Guillot have done fairly well and please us most after La 
France. 
The Polyantha or Miniature Roses are rapidly growing in favor and will cer¬ 
tainly become very popular so soon as known. We strongly recommend them 
to all Rose lovers. * 
Among the Hybrid Remontant or Hybrid Perpetual Roses, our seedling 
Marshall P. Wilder. Mine. Gabriel. Luizet. Mabel Morrison . Duke of Teak have 
proved to be decided acquisitions. Charles Darwin , Countess of Rosebenry , 
Duchess of Bedford , Ferdinand Chaffolte, Glory of Cheshunt , Gaston Leceque. 
Mrs. Harry Turner. Mad. Ducher are promising. 
The Teas Angele Jacquier , Jules Finger, La Princesse Vera and Mine. 
Welche have been found to be very desirable. 
Of the latest introductions we prefer to say nothing until they have been 
tested longer. 
SEEDLING ROSES. We have several promising seedlings which we are 
propagating, and which will be offered as soon as we have sufficient stock. 
EXHIBITION OF ROSES. A grand display of several acres of Roses (about 
80,000 plants) may be seen on our grounds the last three weeks in June and two 
first weeks in July. Visitors will be welcomed. This is a rare opportunity to 
study the comparative merits of the various sorts.

MANETTI STOCK versus OWN ROOTS. 
We grow our Roses in two ways, viz: on their own roots from cuttings, and 
budded low on the Manetti. Most of the tender and climbing sorts are grown 
from cuttings, the Hybrid Perpetuals, Mosses and Summer Roses are grown in 
both ways. The Manetti stock was obtained over thirty years ago from Como, 
Italy, by Thomas Rivers, and has largely superseded the Dog Rose and other 
stocks. We find many varieties of Roses grown on this stock adapt themselves 
to a greater range of climate and soil, bloom more profusely, endure better the 
heat of the Summer, and make far stronger plants than if grown on their own 
roots. Many object to budded Roses on account of the suckers they sometimes 
throw out; but if proper attention is paid to the planting, this will rarely be an 
annoyance. 
Budded Roses should be planted sufficiently deep , so that the junction of the
