Mr. J. B. Moore of Concord, is a famous Massachusetts Rose grower. He plants in rows, four feet apart, and tries to keep the ground clean and free from weeds, and in the fall to bank up the plants about a foot high with earth from the spaces between the rows. When the earth is removed from around the plants in spring they are pruned, the weak, poor wood being cut out, and the slow-growing varieties cut back to six or eight inches, while the stronger growers should be left ten or twelve inches in length.
