Boses at Biverton. 



Half a dozen years ago J. D. Eisele 

 foresaw that the rapid improvements 

 in the hybrid tea roses and in the num- 

 ber of new varieties would increase 

 their popularity tremendously. He laid 

 his plans accordingly. All the new and 

 old varieties of merit were imported 

 from England, Ireland, Germany, 

 France and Holland. Trial beds were 

 laid out and carefully planted, that the 

 varieties might be tested side by side. 

 The aim with the roses, as with the 

 perennials, was that a pot plant Of any 

 given variety could be furnished 

 throughout the entire season. This re- 

 quired careful management. Winter- 

 J3S in the frames was not satisfactory. 

 The azaleas were discarded and a whole 

 range of greenhouses was devoted to 

 budded roses in pots. The wisdom of 

 this move is shown in the surprisingly 

 fine condition of the stock today and 



in the absence of plants that have 

 been winter-killed. The quantity of 

 roses on the Dreer place at Biverton 

 is astonishing; I never saw so many 

 pot roses together before. They were 

 brought out of the greenhouses two 

 weeks before Easter, plunged outside, 

 where they stood the snow storm well, 

 and are now the picture of health. 

 Nearby, five long trial beds and a row 

 of climbers divided by well kept, grassy 

 walks are a treat to see. The demand 

 for these roses, mainly hybrid teas, 

 starts in the south, going steadily over 

 the country as the season advances. 



Mr. Bayersdorfer's Farewell. 



Harry Bayersdorfer left Philadel- 

 phia May 6 for the west, bound for 

 San Francisco, thence May 15 by 

 steamer Manchuria for Yokohama, 

 Japan. This is Mr. Bayersdorfer's first 

 trip to Asia. He left farewell greet- 



ings for his friends all over the coun- 

 try. "Tell them," he said, "that we 

 will have plenty of florists' supplies 

 for them next season if any effort of 

 mine can secure them. Tell them also 

 that we have done our best for each 

 and all of them through this war trou- 

 ble. We have held nothing back, fill- 

 ing every order, or as much of it as 

 we could, as fast as the goods arrived.'^ 

 Mr. Bayersdorfer exhibited an inter- 

 esting passport issued by the State De- 

 partment in Washington. It bore the 

 names and photographs of Mr. and Mrs. 

 Bayersdorfer, is good for six months 

 in Asia and Europe, can be renewed 

 by any United States consul and i» 

 signed by Mr. Bryan, with certain ex- 

 traordinary hieroglyphics in backhand,, 

 presumably from the Chinese minis*- 

 ter. Mr. Bayersdorfer hopes to return 

 in August, but, should the war end, he 

 will go to Europe for several montha.
