Tlie verdict of the court of cassation,

The verdict of the court. If it dr>.t

June roses require pruning but once j
n year. This should be done in spring, ,
as soon as one is able to see where the |
strongest and healthiest shoots are go- |
ing to be. The old wood should be cut j
back nearly half, and all weak, un-
healthy branches should be removed.
If the branches are thick, they should
be thinned out, well. Air should have !
free circulation through the plant.
Hybrid perpetuals require a differ-
ent treatment. As their flowers are ,
produced on new growth only, they
should be grown on a system which
insures the constant production of |
such growth. This is done by making I
and keeping the soil very rich, and by
cutting the plants back sharply after |
each period of flowering. The term
perpetual is a misleading one, because
it carries with it the idea that the roses
in this class are, under all conditions,
ever-bloomers. But such is not the i
case. They bear a profuse croy of
flowers in June and July. After that,
by pursuing the treatment advised
above, they bloom at intervals during
the seasou, but never iu such profu
sion as in early summer. Without the j
treatment advised they will not do J
this. Many varieties are shy bloomers,
ami will only give an occasional flower
after July. The freest bloomers are not
prolific enough to suit the lover of fine
roses, but their flowers, though few
in number compared with those of the
lirst crop, are so large, so fine in form,
so rich in color, and uo fragrant as a
general thing that we ciianut afford t« j
overlnck this class in making our col-
lections of roses. It requires more at-
tention than an}' other, but the results |
arc well worth all the care we expend j
on it. |
Of the June roses the best for gen-
eral use are the mosses, in red, pink
and white; the Provence and the good
old damask, both delightfully sweet,
large, double and of fine shape, and ;
produced with wonderful freedom; the
yellow Persian, which well merits the
name "Cloth of Gold," so rich is the j
color; aud the small low-growing |
Scotch and Austrian varieties. There |
are others in this general class which 1
deserve a place in any collection, but j
I have named those which the amateur
gardener will be most likely to suc-
from i cecd. When he or she learns to grow
faces these well, other sorts can be added j
with a reasonable chance of success.—
