he plants into vigorous growth. Use strong,one or two year old, field-grown plants, for they will give better results than smaller ones! We have grown and tested many of the different types of roses, and it is in the teaand hybrid tea groups that the choicest varieties for Cuba are found. They are constantand profuse bloomers through the whole year. The following have done the best with us:Bride, Bridesmaid, Empress Marie of Russia, Bon Silene, American Banner, Letty Coles,Madame Vatry, Madame Lombard. Etoile de Lyon, Safrano, Kaiserin Augusta Victoria!Helen Gould, Chestnut Hybrid, General McArthur, Mrs. Robert Garret. On your lawn nothing will exceed the bright red color of the Bengals, for they arealways in bloom and are very showy and bright. Of this group the Agrippina, Douglasand Louis Philippe are the best varieties. Among the Polyanthas, Perle dor and ClothildeSoupert have given the best results.

A MoruliiKs Cut of Beautiful lU)ses in a Cuban Garden. North, have not done well here. They produce a few very choice flowers, but are veryshy bloomers. Paul Neyron is the best variety most commonly grown. Many of the climbine roses do well and every garden should have the MarechalNiel, for it is the best of them all. Climbing James Sprunt and Clothilde Soupert havealso given fine results. To keep on blooming a rosebush must have the flowers cut every day, and in nocase must the roses be left to go to seed, for as soon as a bush becomes full of seed berriesit will stop putting out blossom buds until after the seed are ripened. Cut the roses withlong stems and in this way you will help to prune the bush. Early morning is the best time for cutting the flowers, for then they are fresh andhandsome, and, if they are wanted for evening, they can be kept in perfect condition byplacing them loosely in a jar of water in a cool, dark room.
