i8 H. D. HOYT, SEVEN OAKS NURSERIES, BAY VIEW, FLORIDA. V. ResES. Our collection of Roses, though small, is composed of some of the best bloomers, and with very few exceptions they have all been tested here. In regard to cultivation of roses in this state, it is per- haps best to say nothing, but leave it entirely to the good judgment of the cultivator; there are so many different grades of soil that the method that proved a success on one would avail nothing on another. We have seen the most luxuriant roses on common "fiat-woods" land that never had the least care or attention, and again they will fail in the hands of the most careful cultivator. It is always safe to have the ground at least moderately well enriched before setting the plants, and as a rule clean culture afterwards seems to give best results. Fall pruning is necessary if abundant blossoms are wanted during the winter months. Strong one year old plants from open ground, S5 cents each; small plants,Ipot-g-rown, 15 cents each, $1.50 per dozen. TEA ROSES. Alphonse Karr.
