An importaiiv element of success it .-I rikiliiig rose cuttiiigs in summer i.5 keeping them perfectly fresli-i-e, tlicv must bo just as fresh when placed in the soil as when cut l'rom the trees; n fact, the work can not be done too quickly. If once the cuttings shrivel -and they shrivel rapidly—few will grow; but if quite fresh, well selected, and rightly inserted, lew will fail. I his esenlial of perfect freshness 'jar ne maintained when the number of cuttings is limited.
