The Rambler Roses. 



Sjiiie that time we have had se\eral 

 iinlalile additiiins tn the lis! nt' l-",astei

 miiili heialded iSaliy h'amliler. w hi le \ alii 

 aide as a lieddinj; ruse, is nut sn umid 

 till I'.aslei' puipiises, especially in lar^^e 

 sp. I imeiis. |)iiiiitliy i'erkiiis. the jiiuk 

 faailiier. is line, and has i-niiie tn -lay. 

 Ill the same riass may lie mentinned se\

 pait iriilarly Lady liay. wliirh is a siipeili 

 thiii^. 



A (lennan mse railed LeiKditsti'fii,

 favoralily. The toliaer \\as line and the 

 lilooms pietly and almiidiiiit. it seemed 

 a <;ooil keejier. Hot easily .shaken idV. 



A few other \aiieties of roses are tine 

 for I'.aster. ('hiet' of these are .Mayiia

 l>riisrld\i pi'omises to lie a onod white, 

 altlioii^li it li.as haidly hail a fair trial 

 yet. 



Miscellaneous Plants. 



In sjiiia'as we ha\e had several im- 

 pro\eil varieties. 'Jdie he.st one. all 

 things ronsiiler(,'d, is (iladstone. 



i^ouyaiiivillea Saiideriaiia is another 

 very valiialile blaster pl.aiit. ;iiii| if tiie 

 wood is propeily j'ipeiied will (lower most 

 profusely in all size.s of plants from 

 those in 4 imdi pots, .snitalile for liaskel 

 work. ii]i to \('i'v hiiye speidmens. 



(inerafia st(dlata, of the improved 

 rompact-^fou illy \arieties, is a very 

 showy |d;mt, hut still rapahle of innrli 

 further imjirox cineiit liy cartd'ul scdertioii 

 of seed from tlio.se \arieties iiuist stiit- 

 ;ilile for .store use. 



.\ plant whirh I have not seen with the 

 I'liiladelpiiia erowers, hut whirh is well 

 done ill New N'ork is the hiiroiii:i, which 

 hears its ojnhular, piirplisli-pink tlowers 

 in yi'eat ])rofusioii. 



Another jilaiit worthy of rulture is 

 I. ilium lanrifolium ruhniiii and alhuii. 

 \:iluahle either for ciittiiiii or pot plants; 

 they are easily ohtaiiiahle ;it l!:i.stei, 

 t'rom cold storage hnlhs. 



Deutzias and Others. 



Another plant deserviny of attention 

 is |)eut/,ia i.emoiiiei, which was tried and 

 discarded sever.'ll vears jimi h\' several 



of our erowers .as inferior to I >. ;;i,iciiis, 

 hut which has now proved to he valu.-ihle 

 to sever.al i;rov\crs, part icul.arly as to the 

 diir.aiiility of its (lowers, whicji do not, 

 drop as easily as those of 1). ^r.-uilis. 

 Till' chitd' point in the culture is the lift- 

 ing hy .\u<;usl or hefore, so ;is to have 

 the ]Mits full lit' new I'oots hefore cohl 

 wealher. This also is necessarv witii 

 I), gracilis. 



There has heeii iiitroduceil lo ihi- 

 country this year a v;ilu:ihle new a/.ale;i, 

 nanieil for Julius K'oehrs. This will un 

 doiihte<lly heconie a leading variety. It 

 is of the same general charactei- as 

 Mnie. Vander Cruyssen, hut of a riclier. 

 hriylitiT color, 



A <fOO(l novelty this year is .Marguerite 

 (^ueeii .\le.\aiidra. an excidlent jiot plant. 



KMiododeiidrons are now larytdy yrovvn. 

 The hest new one tiiat has come to my 

 notice is coinmonly know n ;is ijed ('aiiiilh 

 de h'olian. 



For the Future. 



As we have had from time to liiue 

 \;(lu;ihle .-idditioiis to the list of hla.ster 

 plants, so we may continue to expect 

 them. W'e are pnenised ;i new ])ink 

 spira'a for next vear. of a lovely shade 

 of color, for the stock of which t;i,lM)(i 

 is re|iorted to have heeii nd'used. liotli 

 N'eitch i^ Sons and Sander \ Son niadi' 

 that offer. 



The <iiowin;i of plants for Ka-ler in 

 vidvcs much extra woii\ in the iimvinj^ 

 from house to house as the weather 

 cli;;nyes, so as to have everything .just 

 rit;lit at the one time, the compeiis.at ion 

 for this exfrji work heiiiL; that there i- 

 generally a dem.and for ;ill yood jdant-^ 

 idlered .at a f.aii price.
