ROSES 



following were the most satisfactory: Gen- 

 eral Jacqueminot, Jubilee, Ulrich Brunner, 

 JMadame Plantier, Clothilde Soupert, Kaiserin 

 Augusta A^ictoria, La France, Mrs. Robert 

 Garrett, Princess Alice de Monaco, Soleil 

 d'Or, Perle des Jardins, and IMrs. John Laing 

 or Baroness Rothschild. Paul Neyron and 

 Prince Camille de Rohan might also be 

 added to the list. 



Between ^Irs. John Laing and Baroness 

 Rothschild, it is a toss-up. JSIrs. John Laing 

 is a healthy, strong Rose, and a most con- 

 stant bloomer. But none that grows is 

 more beautiful than the Baroness Rothschild. 

 Rather a shy bloomer; still each Rose, on its 

 long, strong stem, surrounded by the very 

 fine fohage that distinguishes this variety, 

 makes a bouquet in itself. Baroness Roths- 

 child is also vigorous, and I have never seen 

 it attacked by the enemies of most Roses. 



Climbing Roses have so much use, as well 

 as beauty, in a garden, that my advice is, 

 wherever there is an excuse for having one,
