There are fewer hybrid perpetuate 

 and more hybrid teas and climbers 

 grown than formerly, so these last two 

 should be catered to, in order to have 

 as good an exhibit as possible even to 

 the extent of having the exhibition a 

 week later than has been the custom. 



Let us hear from some of the grow- 

 ers through your columns on outdoor 

 roses of these classes. A. J. Fish.

FINE SPECIMEN OF SCHIZANTHUS 

 Thomas W. Head, superintendent of 

 J O. Armour's estate at Lake Forest, 

 111., has grown some specimens of 

 Schizanthus Westoniensis which have 

 been greatly admired. The plant 

 shown in the accompanying illustra- 

 tion is six feet across and remarkably 



symmetrical. Mr. Head as president 

 of the American Gardening Associa- 

 tion has become well known. He has 

 an enviable reputation for growing 

 fine plants. The specimen being de- 

 scribed were exhibited at a recent 

 meeting and scored 98 points out of a 

 possible hundred.
