successful, is Gloire de Chedane Guinoisseau; perhaps an improve- 

 ment upon Ulrich Brunner. Prince Gamille de Rohan and Hugh 

 Dickson are both deep velvety crimsons. The deep colored Roses 

 of this type are usually injured by the rains and strong sun. Paul 

 Neyron is the largest deep pink variety, frequently criticized for 

 being too coarse and large. No, we have not forgotten the Jack 

 Rose, or, as it is called in the catalogues, General Jacqueminot. You 

 know how well it does everywhere and what a brilliant scarlet crim- 

 son it is. Another excellent strong grower and a deep scarlet is 

 J. B. Clark. A very sweet and perfectly formed crimson carmine is' 

 the variety Captain Hay ward. Captain Christy bears a full flower 

 which is tinted white and pale blush. Magna Charta is always 

 admired for its vigor of growth and its bright, rosy pink flowers, which 

 possess great substance. 



THE HYBRID TEAS. In the hybrid teas are combined some of the 

 hardiness of the hybrid perpetual as well as the more or less perpetual 

 blooming quality, and the richness of coloring and beauty of form of 

 the teas. The array of good varieties is almost endless. Among the pinks 

 the first tha't deserves to be recognized is Jonkheer J. L. Mock, that 

 beautiful Rose, the outside of the petals of which are much lighter 

 in color. The flowers are very fragrant and the stem erect and strong. 

 The Killarney is rather more single than the other pink varieties, but 

 although it opens quickly it remains for some time before shattering 

 and is remarkable for its freedom of bloom. We cannot pass Lady Alice 

 Stanley without recognition. The color is a lovely coral-rose, the 

 inside a little lighter. The flowers are nearly perfect in form, color, 

 fragrance and size. The popular Caroline Testout, which covers the 

 streets of Portland, Oregon, is a superb bedding variety. Other fine 

 pink varieties are Mrs. A. R. Waddell, Souvenir du President Carnot, 

 Mrs. George Shawyer, Lady Ashtown, Dean Hole, La France. 

 The most superb lemon white variety is, no doubt, Kaiserin Augusta 

 Victoria. 



In reds we have, first, Gruss an Teplitz, a velvety rich glowing 

 crimson, a continuous bloomer and very sweet. A dazzling color 

 is displayed by the variety Chateau de Clos Vougeot; it is not a strong 

 grower but a continual bloomer. Second to none is a variety sent out 

 as Lady Battersea. Certain rosarians have expressed a doubt as to its 

 proper name. It is surely a superb deep, very double maroon-crimson. 

 Laurent Carle is much lighter than the other red varieties mentioned ; 

 it is a carmine and intensely fragrant. Etoile de France bears a 

 very double, cup-formed flower of deep crimson. 



Among the salmony or coppery shades, Sunburst is one of the most 

 successfully grown. It is superior to Mrs. Aaron Ward in color and
