AN AUTUMN ROSE SHOW. 



In recent years the National Rose 

 Society has further popularized the 

 "Queen of Flowers" by displaying its 

 autumnal charms. At the autumn 

 show held at the Royal Horticultural 

 Hail, London, on September 15th, there 

 was a large and representative array 

 of brilliant flowers. The quality was 

 not so high as had been experienced in 

 previous years, owing to the adverse 

 climatic conditions which have pre- 

 vailed this summer. The description, 

 "autumn fiowering rose," is somewhat 

 of a misnomer as most of the varieties 

 so-styled bloom with equal freedom 

 during the summer. One of the im- 

 portant developments in the rose world 

 of late years has been the continuous- 

 flowering character possessed by many 

 of the newer introductions. The show 

 affords a splendid opportunity of Judg- 

 ing of the varieties which are suitable 

 for autumn decoration. Another at- 

 tractive feature is the keen competi- 

 tion which usually takes place in the 

 ornamental section. One can obtain 

 many useful hint as to the best sorts, 

 and their most effective arrangement 

 for table adornment. In recent years a 

 much higher standard has been reached 

 in this department. It is another proof 

 of the enhanced popularity the national 

 flower enjoys when one refers to the 

 steady and continuous progress made 

 by the National Rose Society in re- 

 cent years, forming, as it does, one of 

 the most prosperous organizations as- 

 sociated with a special flower. 



The chief trade exhibitors from va- 

 rious parts of the kingdom made a 

 meritorious display. The principal 

 class for exhibition blooms was won 

 by Messrs. Cocker and Sons, of Aber- 



deen, following up their success in the 

 same class in previous years. The new 

 introductions of course attracted con- 

 siderable attention. A gold medal was 

 awarded to Mrs. Herbert Stevens, a 

 creamy white Tea, shown by Messrs. S. 

 McGredy and Son, Ireland. A similar 

 award was made to Mr. Foley Hobbs. 

 also a Tea (white, tinged with pink), 

 shown by Alexander Dickson and Sons, 

 Newtownards, Ireland. Silver gilt 

 medals were obtained for the follow- 

 ing: Hybrid Teas:— Dorothy Radcliffe, 

 Marchioness of Waterford, Mrs. C. E. 

 Allan, and James Ferguson. In the 

 two decorative classes premier honors 

 were secured by Messrs. Hobbies, Dere- 

 ham, Noiiolk, and Geo. Prince of Long- 

 worth, Oxford. Awards of silver med- 

 als were made for the best individual 

 lilooms as follows: Hybrid Perpetual, 

 Hugh Dickson, in the nurserymen's 

 class, sent by Messrs. J. Cocker and 

 Sons, and the same variety in (he ama- 

 teur class, sent by Mr. R. Barrowman. 

 Glasgow; Hybrid Tea, Gladys Hark- 

 ness. shown by Messrs. J. Cocker and 

 Sons, and Mrs. W. J. Grant, from Mr 

 E. W. Moiris; Tea, Mrs. Edward Naw- 

 ley, exhibited by George Prince, and 

 White Mamau Cochet, from Mrs. For- 

 tescue, of Maidenhead.

scape work, which is an important 

 section of their business. Specimen 

 trees and shrubs, transplanted and 

 pruned, are a specialty and practically 

 nothing is grown for the wholesale 

 trade. It is interesting to know that 

 they liave gathered a crop of seed 

 from one plant of California privet 

 this season. The plant was growing 

 in close proximity to some Regelia- 

 num and it is not improbable that the 

 bearing of seed was the result of fer- 

 tilization by the latter. If so, the pro- 

 geny may turn out to be quite val- 

 uable. 



•Mr. Campbell called attention to 

 the adaptability of Celastrus articu- 

 latus for pruning and shaping into 

 bush form. Articulatus is a rampant 

 grower and when thus trained will 

 require the frequent use of the knife, 

 but the result is worth the trouble. 



There are several unique forms of 

 various conifers which have originated 

 in this place and the visitor who has 

 a little time at his disposal can pass 

 it very pleasantly among this very in- 

 teresting collection. 



AN INTERESTING NURSERY. 

 We had the privilege, a few days 

 ago, of a brief run through some of 

 the nursery rows of the Elm City 

 Nursery Company at New Haven, 

 Conn., under the guidance of Mr. 

 Campbell, of the landscape depart- 

 ment of tlie compan.v. They have, al- 

 together, 100 acres of stock, a large 

 part of which is required for the land- 



Bobbink & Atkins are rebuilding and 

 enlarging their ofl5ces at Rutherford, 

 N. .1. They are also erecting a big 

 two-stoiy garage of concrete construc- 

 tion, 6S X 76 ft. The lower floor will 

 be used for the storage of eight two 

 and three-ton auto trucks and the up- 

 per story will serve as a cooper shop 

 for the manufacture of plant tubs and 

 boxes, which is now quite a factor in 

 their business. There will be a com- 

 plete outfit of modern machinery and 

 repair facilities. The growth and ex- 

 pansion of the business of this firm 

 year after year is simply astounding.
