ROSES, continued 
before they are well established. But if these plants are allowed to grow until the following fall, and if they 
receive proper treatment, there will be no cause for complaint. 
Insects. For n aphis” and "thrips” spray plants daily with a solution of tobacco stems. (Tobacco 
stems i lb., boiling water 3 gals.; strain when cool; must be used within 48 hours after mixing.) 
For Rose Slug spray with hellebore or insect powder. For rose leaf-hopper spray with insect 
powder, tobacco decoction or kerosene emulsion. 
Mildew. This is caused by extremes of heat and cold, or by a continuance of damp, cold w'eather. 
Sprinkle the plants with water and dust them with sulphur or soot.

China Roses 
The Roses belonging to this class are among the 
best bloomers for this climate. Their flowers are pro¬ 
duced in great abundance, though not equal in beauty 
of shape or variety of color to the other classes. 
Mme. Carl. Dark crimson. 
Mme. Jean Sisley. White, slightly tinged pink. 
Nemesis. Dark crimson. 
Hybrid Perpetual 
Owing to a severe freeze in February of this year, 
we lost immense quantities of cuttings of Hybrid Per¬ 
petual Roses, therefore we do not name any in this 
list, but can supply a limited number of plants of 
about thirty varieties. •
