XII MANNERS AND CUSTOMS 297 
Francisca Kriiger (Nabonnand, 1879).—Eliminated 
by the editors of this edition. . 
Francois Dubrewil (Dubreuil, 1895).—This is a 
_ dark crimson Tea, in many respects like Souvenir de 
Thérése Levet. Opinions seem to be divided as to 
which is the better of the two. This has come 
rather more uniformly of good shape with me, and 
of rather clearer and lighter colour, but, except to 
dn expert, there is very little difference between 
them. 
Georges Schwartz (V. Schwartz, 1899)—Elimin- 
ated by the editors of this edition. 
Golden Gate (Dingee and Conard, 1892).—Of only 
fair growth, with habit and foliage somewhat similar 
to Niphetos. A Rose for exhibitors, capable of pro- 
ducing very large, finely shaped, creamy white 
blooms, but not vigorous or free flowering enough for 
general purposes. The name, of course, is taken 
from the harbour of San Francisco, but English 
gardeners are naturally apt to expect it to be yellow; 
‘whereas it is certainly not golden, any more than it 
is hike a gate. Deliciously fragrant. 
Harry Kirk (Alex. Dickson and Sons, 1907).—In 
growth this rose more nearly approaches the Hybrid 
Teas than a pure tea, its chief feature is its colour, 
a good deep yellow—sulphur almost in the centre of 
the flower, fading to white at the edges of the petals. 
The flowers so far have not come so large as one 
would like—it is free rather than vigorous in growth 
—has not been exhibited very much up to the 
present, and one can say very little of its manners 
and customs. It will require shading and high 
culture.
