 inoau any liarni, but he had been iin- 

 IwrtuiuMl by men. Rome of them did not 

 treat John fairly. They went to work 

 and propaf,fated the rose, and when I 

 came to jjut it on the market, other 

 people had the rose and had it in 

 quantities. And another tiling: When 

 you give jdants to some of your friends

 you are «<>'«« to Ijeget enmity." It has 

 worked out tliat way in instances where 

 we have done that. I have in mind Co- 

 lumbia. I let a man have a considerable 

 (juantity. I made no barf,'ain with liim; 

 it was kind of a gentlemen's under- 

 standing; but do you know I never got 

 a penny return from what I sent him. 

 Now, anotlier thing: There are a good 

 many men who have not succeeded in 

 growing I'remier. I could cite you u 

 number of people, who, if they had had 

 I'remier to try out, would have con- 

 demned it. I know on our own place 

 we had a bench of Premier that we had 



Down at our Southampton place, we have an old hen 

 named Japan. 



We named her Japan because she is forever setting on 

 China. That is to say, on a China egg. 



Once a day, regularly, she goes clucking by and disappears 



for half an hour. 



Then with great pride she struts about making a noise like 



a new laid egg. 



But always when we look, it's the same old China nest egg. 



The other day I got to thinking about some of ihe things 



we have been doing for so many years— things that don't 



pay and never did. 



Says [ to myself, says I, Stumpp, you are exactly like 



that old hen, Japan. 



You are setting on a lot of China eggs. 



So straightaway I called all Ihe hoys together and we 



promptly bef an colkctiDg all the China eggs we could lay 



hands on aud threw them into the garbage can. 



I'll gladly tell you what some of those eggs were, if you'll 

 write or call in. 



Two of them at least have to do with giving better

 and if the other two benches had acted 

 as that one bench did, there would not 

 have been any Premier rose dissemi- 

 nated. I think there is some justifica- 

 tion for not handing out your new roses. 

 When you get hold of the other fellow's 

 new rose and test it, it is marvelous how 

 it depreciates in value when it gets out 

 from under the disseminator's control. 



That's a fact. Charley Totty let a 

 friend of his have Mr. Lemon's nevr 

 rose. He put it beside some Russell. 

 The Russell had a bad ease of black 

 spot and died in two or three days.

 is to be remembered the two sexes are 

 not in all varieties. There arc some
