crop. Everyone hopes from year to year 

 that there will be something new added, 

 to our limited stock of varieties that 

 will be an agreeable change, but save 

 for two or three sorts that are quite 

 freely planted this season, there is noth- 

 ing new to describe. 



From the point of quantity, I find 

 Bridesmaid to be in excess, with Beauty 

 probably a close second. After these 

 come Bride, Kaiserin, Caroline Testout, 

 Liberty, Cecil Brunner, Perle, Ulrich 

 Brunner, La France, Ivory, Mme. Chat- 

 enay, Richmond, Presid^ent Carnot and 

 Killamey. I think no mistake has been 

 made in this list and in putting them in 

 the order named. 



Some of the varieties that were plant- 

 ed extensively several years ago are now 

 entirely discarded or grown exclusively 

 in the open or under lattice frames. In 

 this class I might mention Sunset, Gen- 

 eral Jacqueminot, Niphetos, Rainbow, 

 Papa Grontier, Meteor, Wootton, Cather- 

 ine Mermet, White La France, Duchess of 

 Albany and Belle Siebrecht. The latter 

 variety, however, I have found is still 

 grown in a few places, but only in lim- 

 ited quantities. The other sorts, al- 

 though good in their classes, have been 

 entirely superseded by roses that are of 

 better color and have more desirable 

 blooming qualities, or can be depended 

 on to give larger biooms. 



American Beauty is still the best in 

 its class. I might have mentioned in 

 this regard that the Queen of Edgely 

 was planted here quite freely some years 

 ago, as a possible rival to the older rose, 

 but it has practically been abandoned. 

 Richmond is forging well to the front 

 and is quite a favorite with some grow- 

 ers. I am inclined to think it will be 

 well planted next season. The great 

 drawback to any rival for 'the claims 

 that are given the American Beauty is 

 that growers who are successful in han- 

 dling this variety are perfectly satis- 

 fied to let well enough alone and let 

 some other grower experiment with a 

 possibility. So many people have not 

 found this a money-maker that much 

 bench room is given over to Brides and 

 Maids formerly occupied by Beauty. 



Of the newer pink varieties Mme. 

 Chatenay has hardly had a fair trial 

 here. I saw several beds that looked 

 well and gave abundant promises for 

 later on. Killamey does not come up to 

 expectations in the line of length and 

 stability of stem. It resembles Belle 

 Siebrecht in this regard. We are still 

 short of good yellow kinds. Perle is 

 not grown in quantity and it is the only 

 yellow I have seen at all. Of the scar- 

 let sorts. Liberty holds its place well, 

 having entirely succeeded Meteor. Some 

 growers claim to be unable to make a 

 Paying proposition out of it, and others 

 think it fills all requirements. La France 

 18 one of the old standbys and is still 

 grown in some places with good results,
