26 GARDENING DIFFICULTIES SOLVED 



Georges Bruant, Mercedes, Hose a parfum de 1'Hay, Mrs. Anthony 

 Waterer, Chedane Guinoisseau, and the single pink and single white 

 Rugosa for their lovely and showy fruit. The Penzance Briars would 

 do well in this border, and the Hybrid Briar Una would be a beautiful 

 object. Some of the Hybrid Chinese and Hybrid macrantha Roses, 

 such as Chenedale, Charles Lawson, Paul Ricart, Lady Sarah Wilson, 

 Mrs. O. G. Orpen, Lady Curzon would be fine, but let them be grown 

 as pillar Roses, or if not, give them plenty of space, say 4 feet each 

 way, so that they develop into good large bushes. The following 

 would also make more variety : Magna Charta, Heinrich Schultheis, 

 Boule de Neige, Clio, Madame Eugene Fremy, Cheshunt Hybrid, 

 Gruss an Teplitz, Pink Rover, Crimson Globe (Moss), Celestial 

 (Maiden's Blush), Madame Hardy (Damask). 



Fragrant Climbing Roses for House Wall

 a house wall that faces due south. The forecourt is of cement, but I 

 have a hole some 2 by Ij feet already made. What variety do you

 good quick climbers for poles would be Hiawatha, Rene Andre, Blush 

 Rambler, Dorothy Perkins, Conrad F. Meyer, Noella Nabonnand, 

 Zephirine Drouhin. Some good perpetual flowering Roses to plant- 

 on lawn facing north would be Hugh Dickson, Mrs. John Laing, 

 Ulrich Brunner, Mme. Abel Chatenay, Grace Darling, Gustav Gruner, 

 wald, Madame Jules Grolez, Commandant Felix Faure, La France, 

 Augustine Guinoisseau, Charles Lefebvre, Prince C. de Rohan, 

 Senateur Vaisse.
