favorites.

(Read the following carefully) 
Some varieties of Roses are almost impossible to propagate upon their own roots, and unless these are grown upon Manetti their 
cultivation would have to be. discontinued. Others produce finer flowers wh°n budded or grafted upon the Manetti stock. They 
are especially desirable for Florida and warm climates, as their roots penetrate the soil to a great depth. 
Budded Roses should he planted sufficiently deep so that the junction of the hud with the stock is from 2 to 3 inches below the 
surface of the earth. Do not overlook this. 
The budded Roses should be carefully watched, and all suckers or shoots which grow out from below the place where the bud 
is inserted must he removed. I f this is neglected the stock will outgrow the hud and failure will surely follow. 
The foliage of the Manetti is composed of from 7 to U leaflets, whereas Tea, Hybrid and Bourbon Roses usually have but five
