An important element of success it strikikng rose cuttnigs in summer ti keeping them perfectly fresh—i-e, they must be just as fresh when placed in the soil as when cut from the trees; •n fact, the work cau not bo done Rso quickly. Jf once the cuttings shrivel — and they shrivel rapidly--few will grow; but if quite fresh, well selected, and rightly inserted, lew will fail. This osential of perfect freshness --ur be maintained when tbo uuniuor of cuttings is limited. i_2J hi nniiiaafeiiaHTWiH' mh
