not in the churchyard, nor yet was he 

 at sea. True — the number seven refers 

 to the varieties of roses he is growing 

 in the greenhouses today. To be can- 

 did, the number bothered me as much 

 as the story of ' ' the four fellows in our 

 gang," It runs like this: A little 

 chap was telling one evening of the 

 boys in his gang, and when asked to 

 name them he said, "Bill Jones was 

 one, the two McGinnises was two, I was 

 the third and who the dickens was the 

 fourth?" 



In this case, without notes, I am in- 

 clined to think that Sunburst was one,' 

 Ophelia was two, Hadley three and the 

 Killarney sisters, an original sport, the 

 White, the Brilliant and the Double, 

 made up the remaining four. Mr. Mor- 

 tensen has grown the Sharon Hill Dou- 

 ble Killarney, sent out by Robert Scott 

 & Son, a year longer than anyone else 

 in this neighborhood. It has been a 

 great rose with him, but now, he thinks, 

 it is losing vitality and he will discard 

 it. An original or own sport from 

 White Killarney will be given more 

 space. It is a soft pink, most pleasing 

 in color, with all the good qualities of 

 the family. Hadley, too, will be in- 

 creased on the strength of its spring 

 performance. Much is expected of it 

 now that it is better understood. Mr. 

 Mortensen's keen perception of the de- 

 sirable qualities in roses for cutting is 

 shown in a little experiment he is try- 

 ing. Possibly I am telling tales out of 

 school, but he is such a thoroughly good 

 fellow that I guess he won't mind. 

 Down in the end of his last big green- 

 house are a few plants of the hybrid 

 rose, George Dickson. These plants 

 bore some superb flowers. They had 

 been used for crossing with Hadley. He 

 had seen with quick insight that Had- 

 ley would some day be considered too 

 deep a crimson — that the splendid color 

 of George Dickson combined with the 

 vigor, size and form of Hadley was 

 something to strive for in a rose of the 

 future. 



A point of great interest brought out 

 in Mr. Mortensen's chat about roses is 

 that he no longer pins his faith on the 

 grafted rose. While he does not con- 

 demn grafted roses, he clearly shows 

 that the pendulum is swinging back 

 again. Roses on their own roots are
