SEEDTIME AND HARVEST. 



By M. Eari-K. 

 Through winter frost and summer dew. 



Bv garnered wealth and famine bHght, 

 The ancient pledge of God stands true, 



Sealed on His sevenfold of light. 



What though the golden year's increase 

 De blasted once or twice again? 



Seedtime and harvest shall not cease ; 

 The soil shall feed the sons of men. 



O. ve who stay your hearts in trust 



' Upon that primal pledge of earth, 

 The rhvthms of sun and star and dust, 



Tlie blessing of the harvest's birth — 



Can ve not trust a little more 



The patience of His slow-wrought plan 

 Who built the carven coral shore. 



And fashioned earth a home for man ? 



Shall not His love supply the need 



Of heart and mind and soul for bread? 



Shall the great God who stoops to feed 

 The ravens leave His child unfed? 



Our souls have known their famine > ears ; 



Our hearts have thirsted for His rain; 

 Yet ever answering our fears 



His hour of reaping came again. 



O, trust Him in the days of dearth, 



O, praise Him in the frost and dew. 



The Lord who gives the fruits of earth. 

 Shall bringthe heart's full harvest too.

The New Roses 



The new rose Alilady, of which a photograph is here 

 presented, and which will be disseminated this com- 

 ing season, is a hybrid tea, a cross between Richmond 

 and J. P.. Clark, and from its parent, J. B. Clark, has 

 taken the characteristics of strong growth, heavy 

 petalage and fragrance. In color it is similar to Rich- 

 mond in the bud, but as an open rose it is a very dis- 

 tinct red. r.v the intmducers it is not classed a- a 



NKW ROSE "JIILADY." 



crimson, the color l^eing a pleasing shade of red. The 

 Hower opens beautifullv, and owing to its beautiful 

 iorm in the wide open stage, has already made a very 

 decided impression on those who have seen it, both 

 on the exhibition table and growing. It shows char- 

 acter of growth, and is claimed by the introducers to 

 be a free blooming red rose. 



"Mrs. George Shawyer." 

 This rose, which is reproduced on the front cover 

 page of this issue, is an English seedling that has 

 proved its worth in such emphatic manner that it is 

 believed it will displace Killarney, Radiance, and other 

 forcing roses as the premier pink. It is wonderfully 

 free, even surpassing Killarney in this respect, as ev- 

 erv "bud runs to flower. Plants set out as late as July 

 liaVe alreadv given lyi to 4 feet stems. It is an excel- 

 lent rose during the hot months of .-August and Sep- 

 tember when Killarney can hardly be used, owing to 

 its blooming open so quickly. .As an outdoor rose it 

 i< claimed iinsurpassed by any rose as yet distributed.
