XII MANNERS AND CUSTOMS 259 
Nickerson Cup as the best all-round crimson or 
scarlet rose. Very fragrant. 
Hugh Watson (Alex. Dickson and Sons, Ltd., 
1904).—Also a crimson but with a good deal of 
carmine in its flowers. This is a good exhibition 
variety—fairly vigorous in growth—the bloom of 
medium rather than of large size but excellent in 
shape. Should be more grown.

Le Havre (Kude, 1871).—Of fair average growth, 
with good foliage: not especially lable to mildew, 
but rain will impair its quality. A beautiful show

Holmes and some others, this Rose shuts up at 
night, the petals crinkling mwards: best as a 
maiden, not free in bloom or a good autumnal, but 
with a high reputation for its lasting qualities on the 
plant as well as when cut. 
Louis Van Houtte (Lacharme, 1869).—-Of weak 
growth and small foliage; not much injured by 
mildew, but suffers from orange fungus and rain and
