It is almost impossible to propagate some varieties of 
Roses upon their own roots, and unless these are grown 
upon Manetti, their cultivation would have to be discon¬ 
tinued. Others produce finer flowers when budded or 
grafted upon the Manetti stock. They are especially 
desirable for Florida and sub tropical sections, as their 
roots penetrate the soil to a great depth, and the plants 
are thus enabled to withstand extreme heat and drought 
and still produce flowers. 
Budded Rose. 
Care of Budded Roses. — Budded Roses should be 
planted so that the junction of the bud and stock 
should be 3 inches below the level. The only objection 
to budded roses is that the suckers of the Manetti stock 
will shoot out so soon as the growth starts. The pho¬ 
tograph of a budded rose shows the budded portion 
‘‘A" and the shoots or suckers from the Manetti stock 
‘B. The difference in the foliage is very percepti¬ 
ble, that of the Manetti is composed of from 7 to 9 
leaflets: whereas, the Tea, Hybrid Tea, Hybrid Perpet¬ 
ual and Bourbon Roses usually have but 5 leaflets. So 
soon as the Manetti stock puts out a shoot this should 
be immediately cut off close to the point of exit from 
the stock. If this is carefully done there will be no 
more trouble from the Manetti stock. Don’t blame the 
nurseryman if you fail to carry out instructions for 
treating budded roses.

Farm and Garden Rule-Book. By L. H. Bailey. A Manual of Ready Rules and Reference. Cloth, ill., 12 
mo., index, $2.00. Postage extra on 2 lbs. 6 oz. 
When Professor Bailey’s “Horticulturist’s Rule Book’’ was published nearly 25 years ago, the volume 
became a standard agricultural work running through sixteen editions. Taking this book as a basis the author 
has now made a wholly new book, extending it to cover the field of general farming, stock raising, dairying, 
poultry rearing, horticulture, gardening, forestry and the like. It is essentially a small encyclopedia of ready 
rules and references packed full from cover to cover of condensed meaty information and precepts on almost 
every leading subject connected with country life.
