Mme. Butterfly may supersede Ophelia; as yet I am not sure, not 

 having grown it long. 



Laurent Carle, a prime favorite of mine, the most fragrant of the 

 lot, I find one of the hardest to start in the spring, but once started it 

 is a vigorous grower. 



Hugh Dickson and Frau Karl Druschki are, of course. Hybrid 

 Perpetuals, but bloom as freely as some Hybrid Teas. They should 

 be hghtly pruned and allowed to grow 5 to 6 feet for best results. 



None of the bushes should be pruned low unless needed for exhibition. 

 La Tosca, though a tall grower, should be pruned medium. 



You may wonder why I have not included Los Angeles. So far it 

 has not come up to my anticipations. It does well early in the season, 

 but suffers terribly in some gardens from black-spot late in the summer 

 or early fall. Most of the plants I have had are budded on stocks 

 much too stocky for them; perhaps just the right stock has not been 

 found for it yet. 



There are many other varieties almost, if not equally, as good as 

 those in my fist, but these certainly will not disappoint one, if well- 

 budded plants are chosen. You know I beheve in budded roses; only 

 a few have I found to do equally well on 

 their own roots.
