(Head 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 pro¬ 
duce finer flowers when budded or grafted upon the Manetti 
stock. They are especially desirable for Florida and 
warm climates, as their roots penetrate the .^oil to a great 
depth. 
budded Roses should he planted sufficiently deep so that the 
junction of the bud with the stock is from 2 to 3 inches below 
the surface of the earth. Do not overlook tills. 
The budded Roses should lie carefully watched, and all 
suckers or shoots which grow out from below the place where 
the hud is inserted must be removed. (See photograph on this 
page). If 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 9 leaflets, 
whereas Tea, Hybrid and Bourbon Roses usually have hut five.
