ginia Coxc is one of the sweetest and most beautiful 

 of the crimson roses. 



Of the older roses my favorites have been Gloire 

 de Margottin, Her Majesty, Margaret Dickson, 

 Paul Neyron, Ulrich Brunner, and Clio. If your

 ever introduced that is " Charles Dingee." Look

 huckleberries I shall talk in a chapter on Orchards,
