I hare cultivated this stock these 10 years on a portion of my nursery ground, consisting of about three acres of light poor soil resting on a subsoil of gravel The better part of it is light sandy loam; I find the Manetti to suit me much better than the Dog Rose for dwarf plants; nearly all the Hybrid Perpetuals and Bourbons take freely upon it, and make fine heads. Some specimen plants have stood seven or eight years, and are now full of health, while, if they had been worked on the Dog Rose, or upon their own roots, they would not hmve remained healt hy above two or three years, having nothing to feed upon bat light dry soil. Rose growers, who are fortunately situated on a rich soapy loam, or on a deep loam, or who possess a deep vegetable soil with a cool moist bottom, doubtless find the Dog Rose suit them best And these are the cultivators whom I have generally heard condemn the Manetti stock. I believe, however, that in most other soils and situations the Manetti is preferableW, and it will be highly prized by those who have to contend with light, dry, or poor soils, on which this stock will flourish, when the Dog Rose would scarcely live.

A few Roses will not grow well upon it, such as Cloth of Gold, Bolfaterre Ophirie, Ac; but as a set-off, it will be found that Robin Hood, Madame Aimee, Hypocrate, CEillet parfait, Superb Shaped, Unique, Ac, grow much more robust on it than they do on the Dog Rose, and they produce finer flowers. - R.
