A ROSE- BUD BY MY EARLY WALK 

Tune: "The Rose-bud"

By Robert Burns

The Rose-bud of these sweet verses was Miss Jean Cruikshank, afterwards Mrs Henderson, daughter of William Cruikshank of St James's Square, one of the masters of the High School of Edinburgh; she is also the subject of a poem equally sweet.

I

I A ROSE-BUD by my early walk, 

Adown a corn-enclosed bawk, 

Sae gently bent its thorny stalk, 

All on a dewy morning. 

Ere twice the shades o'dawn are fled, 

In a'its crimson glory spread, 

And drooping rich the dewy head, 

It scents the early morning.

II 

Within the bush her covert nest, 

A little linnet fondly prest, 

The dew sat chilly on her breast 

Sae early in the morning. 

She soon shall see her tender brood, 

The pride, the pleasure o' the wood, 

Amang the fresh green leaves bedew'd,

Awake the early morning.

III 

So thou, dear bird, young Jeany fair, 

On trembling string or vocal air, 

Shall sweetly pay the tender care 

That tends thy early morning. 

So thou, sweet rose-bud, young and gay, 

Shalt beauteous blaze upon the day, 

And bless the parent's evening ray 

That watch d thy early morning.

Rose Buds 

The commercial value of Rose-Buds at special important holiday seasons would astonish the ordinary lover of flowers. Peter Henderson, in an article to Hearth and Home gives a few ideas of how often the dainty rose-bud brings its high price of .

"Twenty years ago camellia flowers retailed at from fifty cents to one dollar, each and no piece of flower-work was thought complete without them. Now they are at a discount, and do not throughout the season average half the above named price. Now, rose-buds, that then were not worth as much by the dozen as a single camellia, are now nearly of equal value, and some particular kinds even more so. One of the leading florists on Broadway informed me, that in the week ending December 2d, he sold one hundred buds of the Mareschal Niel Rose for a hundred dollars, for which he paid the grower fifty dollars. 'Tea-roses,' as they are called, are required this season in every basket or bunch of flowers, and the bouquet-makers are nearly driven to their wits-end to get them. The fashion for Tea- roses has already spread to the country towns and hardly a day passes that orders are not sent to us that we cannot fill. Church fairs, which did not formerly invest in our expensive and perishable commodities, now find that the Tea-rose bud for the button hole is sought after by hundreds of purchasers. I was waited on the other day by the 'flower-committee' for a church fair in one of our suburban towns. The first item on their list was three hundred Tea-rose buds. The wholesale price was twelve dollars per hundred, yet they were much disappointed that only one hundred, instead of three hundred could be spared. The number of glass structures for growing rose-buds in the vicinity of Boston and New York has probably been doubled during the past year, yet the price has advanced one third. The kind mainly grown are Bon Silene carmine purple, and Safrano orange yellow .The Safrano is popularly known as the Tea-rose, but there are a great many others belonging to this class. The Mareschal Niel golden-yellow, and the Lamarque white, are grown but not so extensively as the Tea varieties, as they require greater age before they begin to flower, and being climbers flower, best when trained to trellis work. The large price paid for the buds of the former, however, will no doubt stimulate to its more general cultivation. 

The Bourbon rose, first obtained on the isle of Bourbon, by a cross between the China and a damask variety, is a race, including some magnificent kinds, but they are not so generally hardy, as the preceding; they are abundant bloomers and are useful for forcing the Souvenir de Malmaison, everywhere a standard of perfection belongs here, as does Hermosa, so much valued for forcing.
