 Attention 



;t given to R. Wichuraiana . The 

 possibilities of crossing this seem to be unlimited. No 

 Rose that the undersigned has ever tried yields so 

 readily to hybridizing. The first attempt was with 

 Jacqueminot, always using i?. Wichuraiana as the 

 mother plant. The results were excellent. While some 

 plants were nearly J7. Wichuraiana they were entirely 

 different in sha e and color; they had the clusters.
