The American Flower Garden 



or hedge. Prune by thinning. This is a Bengal hybrid, of a 

 growth altogether too vigorous to find place in the ordinary 

 rose bed. Planted in groups with the individual bushes about 

 four feet apart, it produces a telling effect with its continuous 

 bloom of bright clusters. As a contrast the equally vigorous 

 Frau Karl Druschki (H. P.) is fine, with its unsurpassed beauty 

 of white blossoms. 



INNOCENCE (H. T.). White, medium full and globular. Very floriferous. 

 A good grower, and one of the best white H. Ts. Prune lightly. 



*KAISERIN AUGUSTA VICTORIA (H. T.). Yellowish white. Fragrant. 

 Excellent form, and most lovely. Hardy. A splendid companion 

 to Killarney. Prune moderately. 



*KILLARNEY (H. T.). Pure pink. The best rose of its colour; but thin, 

 especially in mid-season. Long, pointed buds. Excellent for cut- 

 ting. Free flowering. Growth vigorous. Prune moderately. There 

 is a white form of this rose which is in every way the counterpart 

 of its parent except in colour. 



KOENIGIN CAROLA (H. T.). Silvery rose, upright in growth, on long, 

 single stems; very large. One of the very best novelties. Cross 

 between Caroline Testout and Viscountess Folkestone. Growth 

 vigorous. Prune sparingly. 



LA DETROITE (H. T.). Light pink, back of petals lighter. Of the distinct 

 Testout type. A good constant bloomer. A very promising 

 vigorous variety of American origin; a cross between Caroline Testout 

 and Bridesmaid. Prune fairly hard 



*LA FRANCE (H. T*.). Silvery pink, with paler reflex. Very fragrant. 

 Has a tendency toward a bluish tinge. Excellent form. Large 

 flower. Few thorns. Prune sparingly. This is the original 

 " Hybrid Tea," and is still holding its own. 



LADY CLANMORRIS (H. T*.). Creamy white with pink centre. A fine 

 variety, but requiring good weather to open properly. Vigorous 

 grower. Prune lightly. 



MADAME ABEL CHATENAY (H. T.). Salmon-shaded rose. One of the 

 best roses for cutting. Flowers full and of good size. Prune slightly. 



MADAME J. GROLEZ (H. T.). Bright rose; very distinct colour. Excel- 

 lent bloomer both early and late. One of the best. Good grower. 

 Prune lightly.
