JOURNAL OF HORTICULTUEE AND COTTAGE GAEDENER. 



[ December 21, 1871. 



attention, because duriog the auttimn montha its milk-white 

 vvax-like flowers can scarcely be surpaaeed in lichness and 

 beauty. 



The manner in which we grow the white Lapagerias is very 

 simple. They are placed on a stage in an early vinery, strong 

 string is attached to the pots and carried to the roof, np which 

 the young shoots twine with great rapidity. No tying is needed, 

 Jor they naturally support themselves, and if permitted would 

 soon form a mass at the top ; this, of course, is prevented in 

 order to give the growths every chance of ripening. As soon 

 as any signs of flowering appear the shoots are taken down 

 and regulated on a trellis, which may be of any shape 

 according to taste, the result being a profusion of flowers for 

 the decoration of the conservatory, and lasting a considerable 

 time. 



In the same manner are grown a few plants of Lapageria 

 rosea. I have no doubt that by planting it and the white 

 kind together a grand effect would be obtained when both were 

 in flower. During the growing season of the Lapageria it is 

 - important to give plenty of water, and if care be exercised to 

 secure good drainage, it will endure any amount. Perhaps its 

 worst enemy is the slug ; therefore, a good look-out should be 

 kept to prevent the ravages of this destroyer, for when the 

 young shoots are just emerging from the soil, slnas will often 

 eat them ofl as fast as they appear. — C. J. W., The Gardeiis^

ELECTION OF ROSES. 



[Not being by ballot, we publish the vote-papers.] 



I HATE been asked to publish the lists sent by each of the difi'erent 

 electors with regard to the election of Roses which appeared in your 

 Journal of the 7th of December. I did not send them before, as I 

 thought they would occupy too much space, and the analysis arrived at 

 by simple arithmetical figures was, after all, the most important part. 

 As, however, nearly all Rose-growers have their favourites, they will 

 be glad to know which of the electors have supported their candidates. 

 I have made.two mistakes. Baron Hanssman was twice mentioned 

 iustead of once, and I have put down in the hst of names only once 

 named both Loelia and Louise Peyronny. I did so from copying out 

 the lists accurately, though strictly speaking we must consider them 

 as identical, and consequently will give Laelia two votes. 



On looking over the hsts I find I am the only one namiug Henri 

 Ijedechaux among the second twenty-four. This has a little sui-prised 

 me, though I believe it partly hecaupe in some of the lists it was 

 spoken of as a beautiful button-hole Rose, and many amateurs would 

 not go to the trouble of buying and testing a button-hole Eose. With 

 me the colour was very perfect — a true deep pink, a brighter colour 

 than the old Jules Margottin, and a better-shaped Rose. I shall 

 be glad to know what Kose-growers think of it after another year's 

 trial. 



"Will some one else kindly give their experience with regard to 

 Madame Chirard ? as no one seems to mention it besides Mr. Ead- 

 clyfl'e. Marie Eaumann undoubtedly holds down its head, which does 

 not make it look so well when growing on the tree, hut I know no Rose 

 to equal it when picked and put into a specimen glass on the drawing- 

 room table ; for, lovely though Madame Purtado may be, it cannot in 

 my mind compare with Marie Baumann, and, given ten trees of each 

 kind, I would guarantee to cut ten times as many good blooms from 

 Marie Baumann. With me this year it has made shoots 3 or 4 feet 

 long from the ground, even where cut down by the frost. 



Mr. Baker, in sending his list of Roses to me, said he certainly 

 would put Paul Yerdier into the first twelve if it had been a Hybrid 

 Pei*petual. Has it ever been known to bloom a second time yet? 

 and if not, why is its name still retained among the Hybrid Per- 

 petuals ? 



I quite agree with Mr. Dombrain, we do not want the name " Re- 

 montant ;" it is no improvement on the old one, or rather that which 

 we have. 



We are threatened with a great inundation of Roses next year. 

 Does anyone know anything about them ? If I might suggest a hint 

 to hybridisers, we want to cross Roses of opposite habits not too nearly 

 allied in blood, as Charles Lefehvre with La France, Alf red Colomb 

 with Baroness Rothschild — to take the best Roses, in short, of distinct 

 types. We still want a white Alfred Colomb. — C. P. Peach.
