present all of the teas, liybi-id Leas (except Madame Eugene 

 Marlitt) the IJourbou ( hiua, and several oi' the hybrid per- 

 petiials are dead. 



I>«evertheless soiue kiuds ha\e withslood the winters very 

 well and should be mentioned , Crimson Globe, Cumberland 

 Belle, and Purpurea rubra, belonging to the moss group, 

 came through exceedingly well. All of the rugosas, Rugosa 

 alba, Kugosa magniiica, JSir Thomas Lipton, and the New 

 Century, as would be expected, did likewise. The Wichuri- 

 aua and its hybrids proved hardy also. 



The climbers which did Avell might be summarized as fol- 

 lows : 



Baltimore Belle — pale blush and white, — very good. 



W. C. Egan (raised from Rosa rugosa) — pink. 



Dorothy Perkins — shell pink, — very good. 



Philadelphia (Crimson Rambler x Victor Hugo), flowers 

 much like Crimson Rambler. 



Northern I^ight — pink and white blossoms, — very good. 



Sweet Briar — single pink. 



Debutante (Wichuriana x Baroness Rothschild) — pink. 



The following hybrid perpetuals have been blooming very 

 good, two years after planting: 



White — Madame Plantier and Margaret Dickson. 



Pink: — Baroness Rothschild, Belle of Normandy, Magna 

 Charta, John Lang and La Reine. 



Red — General Jacqueminot (Gen. Jack), Marshall P. Wil- 

 der, Ulricli Bruner, Baron de Bonstetten and Alfred Colomb. 



A half dozen varieties of hybrid perpetuals in the test were 

 too tender, and winter-killed. Among these were the Ameri- 

 can Beauty, Frau Karl Druschki, Gloire de Lyonaise, Jean 

 Liabaud, and Vick's Caprice. 



In conclusion, I would recommend that the average person 

 confine his planting to those kinds that have proven perfectly 

 hardy, although there is no doubt that some of the others can 

 be carried through the winter if given very good individual 

 protection. One can not afford to bother with the more ten-
