Lime occurs in the soil chiefly as carbonate (chalk), and it is in this form that it is of the greatest service. It is best applied at the end of the autumn in the form of chalk, using 2-lb. or 3-lb. to the square yard, well hoed in. The backbone of Rose manuring has always been good animal dung. Cow dung is generally preferred when obtainable, but most people have to fall back on the ordinary well-rotted product of the stable.
