VISITORS CORDIALLY INVITED

Potatoes and onions being the .staple products of Pukckohc Hill, few people would expect to sec an extensive rose garden perched up ufi that fertile spot, but it is there/ nevertheless, all aUjlooming and/pervadint; the alniolphere with Jfragrant scents. \ Jf The locality iAMr. H. WDhnomTs properly, opposik Mr. Cjpi. Mason's farm, where fourmcres a* devoted to the culture of, o*r *2oy varieties of ' roses, including laV ay early crops, dwarfs standard \ r m weepers of every conceivable sWfc and hue. Just now, while jflie blooms are flourishing, the sighjks an entrancing one, and it is reall#»markablc what fine blooms Mr. Djmoilj has produced on a shelterless Mate* without any manures. The June lushes, transplanted in shelt#cd plales and given the usual dressings of nmnure, would produce very *ie bloomil indeed. The proprietor invites Vhc public to visit the rJLary at any «pie, weekday or SundJy, and feast weir eyes on the beautiful prospectY Those wishing to jfuy plants may do\o now, and have tieir names written Vi label.- attached to the plants, whic\ will be forwarded to thern in the transplanting season. By this method a purchaser has the advantage of Knowing precisely what he or she is getting, which is much more satisfactory than choosing from catalogues, which ire often unintentionally misleading. It may be as well to point out that the present bushes are young, and that each one willHlevelop to very much larger proportions than they have attained as yet. At. anyrate, whether one wishes to purchase or not, a visit to the rosary is well repaid bv the beauty of the sight. " 107
