NEW RED ROSE -DONALD MacDONALD 



A new Hawlmark Red Rose sent out this year by Alex. Dickson & Sons 



We have tested this Rose for Whiter forcing for two years, and with us It pro- 

 duces more red roses during the winter than any Rose we have ever grown. It is 

 not a large Rose. l)ut lias perfet-tl.v formed medium sized flowers tliat sell at sight. 

 Color bright orange carmine: will not turn blue; because tlie base of the petals is 

 orange. It is not a summer rose, aa it has the same substance as Killarney. We 

 build the plants up until November, and from Thanksgiving until May It is a 

 money maker for the Rose Grower.' as no pinching is necessary.

the gardener, as such, is the typical 

 offender in this regard. The chapter 

 on Recreation Parks is inspiring and 

 delightful from first to last. It will 

 benefit and instruct all who read it 

 and those with true artistic percep- 

 tions will find themselves very much 

 in harmony with the author's utter- 

 ances. Park Utilities makes a splen- 

 did chapter, full of well-considered ad- 

 vice. That on Disposition of Flowers 

 in Parks seems to us hardly up to the 

 quality of the others in comprehen- 

 siveness and practical suggestion, and 

 we think sylvan beauty would stand a 

 little larger recognition.

and "gardeners" intrudes here and 

 there in this work. The author re- 

 marks that "It is an absurdity to per- 

 mit the park gardener to destroy un- 

 censured the soft values of a foliage 

 composition which the landscape de- 

 signer visualized and hoped to pro- 

 duce." To this proposition all reason- 

 able people will no doubt subscribe, 

 but not necessarily to the presump- 

 tion that this species of butchery is 

 an inseparable predilection of park 

 gardeners or that refined landscape 

 composition is exclusively a product 

 of academic training in landscape 

 architecture. It is a mistake to as- 

 sume that for the interweaving of 

 beauty and utility which is essential 

 in every garden conception academic 

 training in the aesthetic arts is indis- 

 pensable and that intuition is com- 

 paratively a minor factor. There are 

 landscape architects and landscape 

 architects and there are gardeners 

 and gardeners, and each in the final 

 analysis must stand or fall, not upon 

 the title he assumes but according to 

 his works. To each and all. however, 

 the possession of "Parks, Their De- 

 sign, Equipment and Use," will be 

 found a substantial help in his prog- 

 ress to a position of eminence in his 

 chosen profession. To any young man 

 wishing to engage in landscape art aa 

 a life work we unhesitatingly com- 

 mend Mr. Bumap's book as a manual 

 of exceptional value and an unsur- 

 passed aid. The book can be supplied 

 by Horticulture at publisher's price.
