How to Make a Flower Garden 



Pink and Rosc—^l^gnSi Charta, Mrs. R. G. Sharman-Crawford, Captain 

 Christy, Garden Favourite, Paul Neyron, John Hopper, Baronne Prevost, 

 Prince of Wales, Lyonnaise, Mile. Suzanna de Rodocanachi. 



White and Blush — ^Irs. Paul, Perle des Blanches, Madame Plantier, 

 Hybrid China. 



The following additional ones are quoted as doing well on the "Wooded 

 Island" at Jackson Park, Chicago, wdiere the elevation above the lake 's 

 some eighty feet lower than here at Egandale : Duchess de Morny, CaroHne 

 de Arden, Bell Normandie, Comtesse de Serenye, La France, G. M. Maurande, 

 Baroness Rothschild, Earl of Dufferin, Jean Liabaud. 



I cannot handle La France, 

 for the buds brown in the sun, 

 nor Mrs. John Laing, which, with 

 Jeannie Dickinson, is tender at 

 Jackson Park. 



Nearly all of the moss-roses do 



fairly well here, including the new 



remontant forms. Hermosa, 



Clothilde Soupert, and many of 



the so-called dwarf fairy roses, 



especially the exquisite Mile. 



Cecile Brunner, come through the 



winter well when protected, and 



bloom all summer. About all of the hybrid tea bedding roses require 



removal to a coldframe in the fall, or a sash and frame placed over them 



for the winter. 



The hardiest climbing garden rose is the Prairie Queen, but it blooms 

 much better if slightly protected from the sun's rays during the winter. 

 The following climbing roses have proved valuable under winter protection : 

 Crimson Rambler, Seven Sisters, Dundee Rambler, the Daw^son, Thalia, 

 Euphrosyne, Paul's Carmine Pillar, Reine Henriette ^larie, and Wichuraiana 

 and its hybrids. 



Nearly all of the hybrids of R. riigosa are hardy without protection, 

 the lovely ]\Irs. Bruant, with its tea blood, being an exception. Jackson 

 Dawson's hybrid rugosas, "The Arnold" and "W. C. Egan, " have done 

 exceptionally well. Lord Penzance's hybrid sweetbriers require protection, 

 and some even then go back. A set that I have growing against a north 



Rosa Spinosissima var. Altaica
