188 THE ROSE, 
result of artificial crossing; the parentage 
will be found in the catalogued list of varie- 
ties: America, Baronne de Maynard, Captain 
Christy, Harrison Weir, John Hopper, Julius 
Finger, Marie Van Houtte, Madame La- 
charme, Madame Oswald de Kerchove, Ma- 
dame Welche, Mrs. Jowitt, Mrs. Harry Turner, 
Paul Neyron, Princess Mary of Cambridge, 
Reine Marie Henriette, and the ten Hybrid 
Teas sent out by Bennett. 
To trace out the peculiarities of these kinds, 
learning so far as possible what influence each 
parent had in forming the qualities of the 
offspring, would be an interesting, profitable 
study. Thus, examining Paul Neyron, we 
find it has the smooth wood, glaucous foli- 
age, fulness of flower, and tendency to win- 
ter-kill from the seed parent, Victor Verdier. 
The vigor of growth and size of flower are 
inherited from the fructifying sort, Anne de 
Diesbach. In this example it will be seen 
that the influence of the parents has been 
nearly equal in impressing their characteris- 
tics. In other examples it will be found that 
the influence of one parent has been far 
greater than that of the other; but I hold it 
as an axiom that, in the case of any rose which 
is crossed by another variety, the progeny will 
surely show traits pertaining to both parents.
