In the article on Kew there is no mention of the grand collection of roses to be seen there. I went there in the latter end of last June, just when they were in all their glory. No one can describe my feelings on first seeing them. All the old favorites were there and a great many new ones. I wandered round and round the beds containing them and felt almost like worshiping them. There were a great number of standards, as well as dwarfs, all alike for health, vigorous growth and bloom. I noticed that the beds were all heavily mulched with fresh cow manure. After leaving Kew, I went direct to Paris, France, and saw perhaps the finest exhibition of plants and flowers in the world. There were thousands of roses on exhibition, by all the leading growers of France ; but the bloom was nothing to compare with the display at Kew. The beds there were also heavily mulched, but with old rotten manure. There was a grand display of evergreens and coniferous plants, and also of clematis, orchids, etc. This was in the Trocadero park, of Paris, which formed a part of the great exhibition.

I also noticed at nearly all the railway stations in Kent, along the platforms, great rose bushes covered with beautiful flowers. - John Whit-ham, Ontario.
