PINKS 



Belle Siebrecht, H. T., is a long-pointed rosy-pink ; 

 Betty, H. T., is a large, less double, coppery rose, 

 while still another shade, shell-pink, is shown in 

 Clara Watson, also a hybrid tea. Killarney, H. T., 

 is flesh-pink, slightly suffused with shell-pink or 

 silvery-pink. Madam Abel Chatenay, H. T., is called 

 a shell-pink, tinged on the outer petals with salmon ; 

 a splendid robust producer of perfect blossoms ; the

 our largest rose. Maman Cqchet, a tea, is a very 

 free-flowering, deep rosy-pink^nodding because of a 

 slender stem. Souv. dti President Carnot, H. T., is 

 salmon-pink, shading to rose on the outer petals, a 

 delicate, soft shade of color. The Lyon, H. T., a 

 rosy-flesh, shaded with salmon and yellow, is a won- 

 der in color but thrives better in the bay region of 

 San Francisco than in the drier air of Los Angeles, 

 therefore a superb coast rose in the south. One of 

 the later claimants for popular favor is William 

 Shean, H. T., deep pink in color and one of the larg- 

 est of roses.

One of the old China roses, Agrippina, has re- 

 mained a favorite through a half-century of pub- 

 licity, a rather small flower of deep crimson; while 

 American Beauty relies on its name for a place in 

 southern gardens; in the San Francisco region and
