SOME NEW ROSES. 



Respecting the new American Rose Had- 

 ley, nothing I have written is derogatory 

 to it. Having grown it in the open from 

 original imported plants, I have been able 

 to estimate its worth, and for this reason 

 was rather surprised that it gained an 

 A. M. on the samples shown, presumably 

 from run-out buds. As exhibited, the flow- 

 ers were far from representing it at its 

 best, and the same may be said of Hoosier 

 Beauty, shown by Stuart Low & Co. at th'> 

 same time. Both varieties, are really tine 

 and I would couple with them Crimson 

 Beauty also. All, however, have their off 

 color turns. Get them in true form, and 

 especiall.v from home budded stock, I im- 

 agine this American trio will be something 

 to conjure with, especially Crimson Beauty, 

 which is very quick, and has a very long 

 bud.—

Mr. Harry A. Barnard, of Stuart Low & 

 Co., has Just returned from his usual busi- 

 ness trip through U. S. A., bringing back 

 witii him a number of blooms of a fine new 

 light pink Rose named Mrs. Bayard Thayer, 

 raised by A. Montgomery, of the Waban 

 Kose Conservatoriv's, Natick, Mass. Unfor- 

 tunately, most of the flowers failed to last 

 out the fortnight of travel, otherwise it 

 was intended to exhibit them at the R. H. 

 S. Meeting. Mr. Barnard did, however, 

 bring along a couple of blooms, and we 

 feel safe in hazarding that Mrs. Bayard 

 Thayer is an important rose. It appears 

 to have the build and growth of Mrs. Chas. 

 Russell, another of the Walian Rose Con- 

 servatories' seedlings, and these character- 

 istics coupled with its strong perfume, 

 should make it a serious rival to Mme, A. 

 Chatenay. —

Hadley and Hoosier Beauty are both 

 standards in the commercial cut flower 

 market this year, up in the front with 

 Russell and Beauty. There is no Crim- 

 son Beauty so far as I have seen; may- 

 be that one will make good later. Mrs. 

 Bayard Thayer is well liked in the 

 American flower market, where Mme. 

 Chatenay has practically been out- 

 classed and forgotten. G. C. W.
