NEW BOSES WOETH GROWING. 



[Extracts from a paper by S. W. Crowell, of 

 Roseacres, Miss., read at the convention of the 

 Tennessee Nurserymen's Association Ju NashvlUe, 

 Tenn., continued from The Review of March 9.] 



A Good New Bedder. 



Florence E. Coulthwaite is a splendid 

 bedding variety, substantial in every 

 respect. Color, deep cream, overcast 

 with rose; a unique color. 



Dean Hole is an intense salmon pink; 

 exquisite bud, opening into a mammoth 

 bloom of wonderful substance. An ideal 

 garden rose. 



Instituteur Sirday is deep golden yel- 

 low,- with lighter shadings. Distifact 

 and valuable. 



Laurent Carle is an erect grower, 

 with branching habit, good foliage, long 

 pointed buds. Color, brilliant carmine. 



La Galissiere is a bright, deep pink; 

 free and constant; very double, with 

 splendid form and good substance. The 

 only drawback to this variety is the 

 weak neck, which can not support the 

 raammotli blooms. Should be thoroughly 

 tested. 



Lady Ursula is a most beautiful shade 

 of fresh pinli, of good form; a free, 

 consistent bloomer. This is one of the 

 best garden roses, being of strong 

 growth without any bad manners. 



La Detroit has proved fo be an ex- 

 cellent garden rose. A good pink of 

 pleasing color. 



The Best in Its Color. 



Mm'e. Jeanne Guillemot is the best 

 variety of its color. Buds long and 

 pointed; deep saffron yellow, shaded 

 into deeper tints. A stiong, upright 

 grower,, with free, branchiag habit. 



Mme. Leon Pain is of stocky, robust 

 growth; handsome foliage; silver 

 salmon, with orange yellow center; re- 

 verse bright red and yellow. 



Mme. Segond Weber is on^ of the 

 best roSes of recent years. Color, rosy 

 salmon or flesh pink; flowers of perfect 

 formation; free and consistent bloomer. 



Mrs. Aaron Ward is a most delightful 

 bedder. Color, deep golden orange, 

 shading out to lemon or creamy yellow 

 toward the edge of petals. Good grower 

 and consistent bloomer. A variety of 

 exceptional value. 



Mrs. A. E. Waddell is a strong, ram- 

 pant grower, with heavy, leathery foli- 

 age; buds long and pointed, rosjjr scarlet 

 suffi^sed with old gold, opening into 

 coppery salmon. The open flower is 

 large, semi-double, but lasting. This is 

 one of the showiest roses extant and is 

 an ideal bedder. 



May Miller is a last year's introduc- 



tion. An excellent rose, strong grow- 

 ing, free flowering. Back of petals is 

 coppery yellow, suffused with bright 

 pink; the upper surface peach and apri- 

 cot, shaded fawn. 



Mme. Philippe Rivoire is apricot yel- 

 low, with lighter center; free grower 

 and constant bloomer. 



Has Been Overlooked. 



Mamie is ri grand garden rose which 

 has been overlooked. A vigorous grow- 

 er, constant in bloom, giving flowers of 

 enormous size. Color, rosy carmine, 

 with distinct yellow zone. A superb 

 variety. 



Mme. Constant Soupert has large 

 buds, sharply pointed and plump. Color, 

 deep golden yellow, tinted apd shaded 

 with rosy peach. 



Olivia is a splendid addition to the 

 red section, which still needs a greater 

 assortment. Color, deep rosy red, re- 

 sembling Helen Gould in form and 

 color. 



President Taft is a variety of quite 

 recent introduction, but it is sure to 

 become a favorite. Color, shining, in- 



tense pink, lasting linder all conditions. 

 A splendid grower and good bloomer, 

 and flowers are of good size. This va- 

 riety should not be confounded with the 

 rose under the same name which has 

 been introduced from Europe. The lat- 

 ter is of small value. 



Rhea Reid is perhaps too well known 

 to be properly placed in this list. How- 

 ever, it may be safely classed as the 

 best red garden rose introduced to date. 



White Killarney is quite as good as 

 Pink Killarney and will become a stand- 

 ard white for the garden. 



William Shean is similar in make-up 

 to Killarney, holding its color well dur- 

 ing hot weather. Worthy of trial. 



Worthy of a Test. 



The following varieties of hybrid teas 

 also promise well, and should be tested: 

 Andre Gamon, deep rose and carmine, 

 petals edged carmine lake; Col. R. S. 

 Williamson, satiny white, deep blush 

 center, large; F. R. Patzer, creamy buff, 

 shaded pink, changing to orange pink; 

 George C. Waud, glowing orange ver- 

 milion; Reliance, glowing pink, base of 

 petals creamy white; Rose Gubert, 

 canary yellow, deeper at center; Rose- 

 mary, shining silvery pink; Senateur 

 Mascuraud, amber yellow with golden 

 center. 



Teas. 



The list of novelties in this section 

 is limited, but every variety noted is a 

 distinct and substantial addition to this' 

 beautiful type of rose. 



Blumenschmidt is a sport from Mile. 

 Francisca Kruger, having every good 

 point of the parent variety. Color, pure 

 citron yellow, outer petals edged ten- 

 der rose. A splendid bedder.

DISEASED BEACON AND VICTORY. 



I send herewith some carnation foli- 

 age, which is affected by a disease that 

 is new to me. Kindly let me know what 

 the trouble is and how I ought to treat 

 it. So far, it seems to be confined to the 

 Beacon and Victory. G. N. L. 



I have never been able to satisfy my- 

 self as to the exact classification of the 

 disease you are complaining of. Part 

 of the trouble appears to be leaf-spot, 

 while other leaves look more as if they 

 had been dried up by stigmonose. I have 

 seen this frequently on Beacon, and it 

 seems that when it gets a firm hold on a 

 plant, it usually destroys it in time. For- 

 tunately, in the cases which have come 

 under my notice there were only a few 

 plants affected, and, by pulling these up 

 and. burning them, the trouble was got- 

 ten rid of. It does not seem to spread 

 much, as the diseased plants would stand 

 right among perfectly healthy ones. 



So I would advise you simply to pull 

 up these diseased plants and burn them, 

 as I do not think you can doctor them 

 up enough to get any returns from them 

 this season. A. F. J. B. 



THBIPS AND LEAT-SPOT. 



I am sending by separate mail some 

 buds and foliage from my carnations. I 

 have about fifty plants which are com- 

 ing like the samples. Please let me 

 know what the trouble is and what to 

 do to stop it. G. H. W. 



The buds forwarded show plainly the 

 ravages of thrips. With warm weather 

 coming on, you will have to get busy at 

 once, else they will ruin your entire 

 crop. Get some tobacco extract and 

 spray two or three times each week, until 

 you have them under control. After that, 

 one spraying each week will suffice to 

 keep them in check. 



The foliage seems affected with the 

 common leaf-spot. The reason the ends 

 of the leaves are dried up is because the 

 spot extends clear across the leaf, and, 

 the sap being cut off, the entire portion 

 of the leaf above the spot dries up. Just 

 cut off these shoots below the joints 

 where the dried leaves start and the 

 plant will make new breaks which will 

 come healthy, providing you remove the 

 source of the disease. Dust these plants 

 with a little Grape Dust, p! with dry 

 slaked lime and sulphur in "equal pro- 

 portions. A. F. J. B.
