PENNOCK ON NEW ROSES. 



Writes of Bagatelle Awards. 



.Samuel S. Pennock, last week elected 

 jiresident of the Society of Americ:ni 

 l'h)rists, had the honor June 15 of beiiH; 

 the American representative on the 

 lioaril of jiidj^es at tlie Bagatelle rose 

 Hardens, Paris. At the meeting of the 

 jurors that day Mr. Pennock was elected 

 vice-president representing the I'liited 

 ■states. In a lengthy letter telling of 

 Ills trip abroad, ^Ir. Pennock describes 

 'he roses which took the awards at 

 Paris. lie writes: 



"The rose that stood out head ami 

 ■-houlclers aliove any other rdse was 

 PernetDucher 's hybrid tea gold medal 

 rose of last year. Souvenir de Claudius 

 I'eriiet. named in honor of his son, 

 wluini lie lost in the war. Mi.xed in 

 'lie lied were also .-i few i)lants of Per- 

 net-Ducher's liybrid tea rose, Mme. Wil- 

 liam M.'irctd Dalanney, a medium ])ink. 

 with full, large llowers. 



"Claudius Pernet is certainly a won- 

 derful rose, ;i ricdi canary yellow, fadintr 

 out ;is it gets older to a liyhter shade: 

 large, full; long, well shaped bud and as 

 lary;e as any hybrid tea rose in the g;ir- 

 den. These tlowers Were borne on fairly 

 long stems, well f<diaged, holding their 

 lieads perfectly erect. It cert.ainly was 

 a joy to see this bed; it was \\v\\ worthy 

 'if the name it bore. It is too bad that 

 this rose is not a forcer, but the con- 

 sensus seemed to be that it was not ami 

 W(jul(l jr„ to sleep in the winter. In fact. 



I s;iw it growing at W. T. H. Kordes' 

 father's greenhouse, in Elmshorn, Ger- 

 m;iny, in the middle of Ajiril, and it was 

 just coming into bloom tlu'ii and h;id 

 been dormant nearly all winter. Prob- 

 ably there is too much Pernet,iana blood 

 in it to make it a winter forcer. 



Howard & Smith's No. 252. 



"The rose tli.at caidured the forei;^M 

 gold medal this year was Howard \ 

 Smith's hybrid tea roNc, Xo. 252. Per 

 net-Ducher's Souvenir de (leorges Per- 

 net was given the French gold med.il. 

 Howard \' Smith's rose, No. 252, is 

 )iidnounced Indian yellow in color. The 

 outer i>et;ils f.ade out somewhat. It is a 

 L;ooi|-si/,ed rose, full, double. Its shape, 

 when it is more th;ni h;ilf open, is noi 

 quite so jile.asing as when it is in Inid 

 or fully open. A good grower, with 

 s])lendid foliage and .good steins, the 

 rose attracted the judj^^'s immediatelv 

 and was well wortliy of the gold medal. 



"Pernet-Ducher 's hybrid tea rose. 

 Souvenir de Oeorges Pernet. n.ameil 

 afti^r his second son. whom he ln-^t in 

 the war, is Larei', well tunned, t'.airly 

 dark pink, .'i decidedly proiiii-.iiiH id-.i 

 ;ind u jzood, free i;ro\\er. I dn nut 

 think it has the <,-iiiie p(i>.sildl it ii's us ;i 

 garden rosi' as ( 'l;iiid ins Pernet, although 

 a s]deiidid pink rose it is. T'.oth these 

 rosev of Pi'i'iiet Ibhher .'ire ill a il;i->-^ 

 l~thenisrl\-es. 



' ' l']:ic h y(\ar four cert ifirat es .nc .-i ward 

 eil, three for hybrid tc\as and our Inr 

 climbing er ]Md y.-nit lia icis,s. Th. lir^t 

 i-ertificate was .awarded to i'lrnet 

 I'neher's rose, Ftoile i\r Ten. whirh 

 seored iii.j ]i(dnts. It is ^itnil.ar in rolor 

 to Ilerriot. 1 shoiiM thinly it wa-- an 

 iiiiproxenient a- to ;_;rowtli and ~i/<' oi' 

 flower, but not so striking; in color. 



"The second eertilicate w.is .-iwardi'd 

 to ;i hybrid tea sei'dling of Cli.aniti.aril. 

 Huguett(> X'incent, with dark green fob 

 age, carrying fiTi an erei't st.'ilk a bi;.^ 



tlower, halt' iloiilde, with large petals; 

 t he color, carmine. 



"The third cerfiticate was awardeil 

 to Leender's hybrid tea, Asidraut Mar- 

 cil Bouyer, one of the parents being 

 Sunburst and the other unknown. This, 

 to my mind, s(HMiied the best rose of the 

 three that Were awarded certilicatcs. 

 Aiipareiit l_v a free, e;isy grower, similar 

 in shajie Xo Mrs. Aaron Ward, flowers 

 iiiikIi the same color, ]iossildy .'i shade 

 lii;hter. mu(di lar;;er :>nil longer bud, 

 t(i me it looked like a good forcing rose. 

 It' it provecl to be ,a better rose than 

 Wartl as ;i greenhouse rose from a grow- 

 ir's standpoint, it would certainly be .i 

 \alu;ilile accpiisition for the commercial 

 man. it impressed me, pridiably, f,ar 

 more than any of the rest of the judges, 

 ;iiid the ri'.ason tor this w.as that the 

 others Were not Inoking at it so much 

 from the forcing standpoint as I was. 



''The t'ourth certificate, unfortunate- 

 1\". was not awarded, as there was noth- 

 in;4 in either idimbers or poly.anth.'is 

 tli.it seemed to bo worthy. 



Paul's Scarlet Climber. 



''Ill the cliiiibei--, l':i.iirs S.-ai'let

 l:ir the b.'st. 1 u:is told 'that it hail 

 been in bloom for ov(;r tun weeks, .and 

 it w.as still in tine shape and attracted 

 the jmblic ]irob,abl\- more than aii\'

 were several plants of Paul'- Scirlet
