shades of yellow. This novelty of last 

 year ia peculiarly suitable for Easter. 

 There is a sentiment about the primrose 

 that is enhanced by the richness of 

 these shades of yellow, some delicate, 

 some striking. It may be remembered 

 that when these yellow primroses made 

 their appearance at the National Flower 

 Show in Philadelphia last March, they 

 received a gold medal. The crowded 

 condition of the hall prevented many 

 people from seeing them, because they 

 were removed to the lobby to make room 

 for the sweet peas. Todav these i)rim- 

 roses are the glory of Norwood, a sight 

 not quickly forgotten. The next tri- 

 umph of culture at this place is seen 

 in the Otaheite orange; not just a few 

 of these shapely little plants,' with their 

 exquisitely fragrant flowers, but rows, 

 rows and rows of them, as even as sol- 

 diers, and all well filled with blossoms. 

 An old friend revived is Impatiens Sul- 

 tani; it is well liked here. Another re- 

 introduced plant is Pelargonium Easter 

 Greeting. 



The roses promise well. There is a 

 great quantity of the rambler type.

though Crimson Rambler itself belongs 

 to the past. Robert Craig says Tausend- 

 schon is tne best. He places R. excelsa 

 next. When asked about the merits of 

 trained roses, Mr. Craig said he favored 

 carefully trained baskets and globes in 

 rose plants, but that he thought the 

 fancy shapes unsatisfactory. There are 



a few of tliese fancy trained roses, but 

 most of them are just good, honest plants 

 of the strong-growing varieties, as well 

 as of their dwarf cousins. The timing 

 of roses, that most difficult feat, ap- 

 peared to be well done, particularly so 

 when considering the dark weather of 

 the last six weeks. Even under the most
