ART. III. On the Cultivation of the Tree Mignonette, and some Remarks on raising Roses from Seeds.
By L. BOLL, Florist, New York.
Raising Seedling-Roses.—I observe in your number for April, p. 136, an article, on raising roses from seed, by Mr. Russell. Is not your correspondent mistaken in saying it requires two years for the seeds to vegetate? I can assure you that I have planted them in the month of February, and, fifteen weeks thereafter, have had a plant from the same in bloom! This rose is now in our establishment under the name of the “Pretty American.” It is the smallest of all roses. [Our correspondent had not probably read the notice of the Master Burke rose, at p. 129, when this communication was written.—Cond.] The plants do not grow more than six or seven inches high, and the flower is about the size of a five cent piece.
