Rose Little Dot 



This pretty little hardy rose is one 

 of Jackson Dawson's hybrids, Rosa 

 multiflora x Clotilde Soupert. The 

 flowers are flesh color and very pro- 



fuse, in fact too much so, for Mr. Daw- 

 son tells us that it blooms so inces- 

 santly that he could never find wood 

 enough from which to propagate it in 



A NEW INSTRUCTOR AT AM- 

 HERST. 

 C. A. Bishop of Waltham, Mass., has 

 been appointed instructor pro tem. in 

 floriculture at Massachusetts Agricul-

 Mr. Bishop has had a thorough train- 

 ing in various lines of agriculture, 

 horticulture and gardening in the Eng- 

 lish way and has had several years 

 experience in teaching. He has filled 

 many responsible positions. His gar- 

 den education began in 1S73 when he 

 went to Bylaugh Park, Norfolk, as 

 German gardener. He remained at 

 this place for seven years and at the 

 time of leaving was foreman of all the 

 glass houses there. For some time he 

 was connected with the famous Veitch

 he was foreman in the fruit house and 

 gardens at Hatton House, Ti'ing. He 

 was then three years foreman at Bas- 

 ing Park, Hampshire; then two years

 gardener and steward at Wightwick 

 Manor. In 1S98 he was appointed head 

 of the Department of Experimental 

 Agriculture In the Bermudas which 



position he held until the spring of

 terprises on his own account in the

ROSES AT WOODS HOLE. 



Among the newer productions in M. 

 H. Walsh's collection of rambler roses 

 at Woods Hole Evangeline stands out 

 as the queen of the singles. The 

 flowers are pink flushed and veined, 

 very large, fading to almost white as 

 they mature. The blooms are borne 

 in very large trusses and the foliage la 

 enormous and shining. Mr. Walsh pre- 

 dicts a great future for Evangeline In 

 park work. 



Paradise is another fine one not yet 

 ready for distribution. The petals are 

 pink toned down to white in the centre 

 of the flower, shell shaped and wavy. 

 The stamens are numerous and bright 

 yellow, giving a lively effect especially 

 in the newly-opened flowers. 



Among the unnamed seedlings are 

 two doubles, rosy pink in color. One 

 has wavy crumpled petals, very fine 

 foliage and graceful, delicate habit 

 The other, a cross between Wichural- 

 ana and Baltimore Belle, bears very 

 long trusses of flowers, deeper than 

 Debutante, the color paler on the older 

 blooms.
