Our well-appreciated correspondent, Mrs. M. D. Wellcome, has published in a neat pamphlet, an essay upon "Roses."... It is an interesting and practical little manual, and will prove a valuable aid to young horticulturists.
Zion's Herald.
The Waterville Mail says: "Of this essay it is sufficient to say that it was prepared by a graceful writer,—a well-known contributor to the literary department of several prominent Journals, and a skillful florist—and that it secured the approbation of the Convention before whom it was read, and the representatives of the agricultural press."
Rev. J. M. Orrock, editor of Messiah's Herald, after describing the work, adds: "The author says in her introduction, 'I have brought you a bouquet of Roses, and there is little of my own but the string that binds them.' It is indeed, a pretty bouquet, and we hope many of her friends will want to see and enjoy it."
Mr. Samuel L. Boardman Esq., editor of the Home Farm, says: "This little booklet about Roses is just the plain, sensible guide all amateur growers will be profited by reading. There is just enough of history and sentiment in its opening pages, ample directions for culture, treatment, etc., closing with descriptions of the most desirable Roses, and lists from which to make selections for larger cultivators. Mechanically, the little book is as delicate as a rosebud; and every lover of this queenly flower should procure a copy."
The "Essay" is issued in a neatly illustrated pamphlet of 24 pages, with ornamental cover. Price 15 cents. For sale by the author, Yarmouth, Me.
