ROCHESTER HAS LESS SUNLIGHT 



THAN OTHER ROSE GROWING 



CENTERS. 



At a meeting of the Rochester Rose 

 Society, Colin Odston spoke on "Can 

 Rochester Compete with Other Rose- 

 growing Centers?" Mr. Odston, who 

 has made a life study of flowers and 

 has been gardener for Mrs. Laura M. 

 Kimball for a number of years, gave 

 in his talk both the favorable and the 

 unfavorable side of the subject. 



The sunlight in Rochester, the 

 speaker said, is poorer than in any 

 other rose-growing center. The time 

 when it is needed most, the months of 

 December and January, we have the 

 least of it. He told of a little instru- 

 ment used to record sunlight and gave 

 the average records of the instrument 

 for a period of ten years. In Roches- 

 ter the winter sunlight is but 54 per 

 cent, of what we should get. In 

 spring it is 56 per cent., in summer 59 

 per cent, and in autumn 54 per cent. 



To get this average the sunlight is 

 measured each day from sunrise to 

 sunset. Cloudy weather, snow and rain 

 cause much of the light to be lost. 

 The speaker also told of various meth- 

 ods he used to grow the best roses. 

 At the conclusion of his talk he an- 

 swered queries asked by members of 

 the society. President John E. Dun- 

 bar of the society was prevented from 

 attending the meeting and his place 

 was taken by the vice-president.
