52 GARDEN GUIDE 



successful, is Gloire de Chedane Guinoisseau; perhaps an improve- 

 ment upon Ulrich Brunner. Prince Camilla de Roh^n and Hugh 

 Dickson are both deep velvety crimsons. Paul Neyron is the largest 

 deep pink variety, frequently criticized for being too coarse and 

 large. No, we have not forgotten the Jack Rose, or, as it is called in 

 the catalogues. General Jacqueminot. You know how well it does 

 everywhere and what a brilliant scarlet crimson it is. Another excel- 

 lent strong grower and a deep scarlet is J. B. Clark. A very sweet 

 and perfectly formed crimson carmine is the variety Captain Hayward. 

 Mme. Masson is a hybrid perpetual which produces blooms 

 at intervals during Summer and Fall. It is a sweet-scented crimson. 

 Captain Christy bears a full flower which is tinted white and pale blush. 

 Magna Charta is always admired for its vigor of growth and its bright, 

 rosy pink flowers, which possess great substance. 



The Hybrid Teas. In the hybrid teas are combined some of the 

 hardiness of the hybrid perpetual as well as the more or less perpetual 

 blooming quaUty, and the richness of coloring and beauty of form of 

 the teas. The array of good varieties almost endless. Among thfe pinks 

 the first that deserves to be recognized is Jonkheer J. L. Mock, that 

 beautiful Rose, the outside of the petals of which are much lighter 

 in color. The flowers are very fragrant and the stem erect and strong. 

 The Killarney is rather more single than the other pink varieties, but 

 although it opens quickly it remains for some time before shatteriug 

 and is remarkable for its freedom of bloom. We cannot pass Lady Alice 

 Stanley without recognition. The color is a lovely coral-rose, the 

 inside a httle lighter. The flowers are nearly perfect in form, color, 

 fragrance and size. The popular Caroline Testout, which covers the 

 streets of Portland, Oregon, is a superb bedding variety. Other fine 

 pink varieties are Mrs. A. R. WaddeU, Souvenir du President Carnot, 

 Mrs. George Shawyer, Lady Ashtown, Dean Hole, La France. 

 The most superb lemon white variety is, no doubt, Kaiserin Augusta 

 Victoria. 



In, reds we have, first, Gruss an Tephtz, a velvety rich glowing 

 crimson, a continuous bloomer and very sweet. A dazzling color 

 is displayed by the variety Chateau de Clos Vougcdt; it is not a strong 

 grower but a continual bloomer. Second to none is a variety sent out 

 as Lady Battersea. Certain rosarians have expressed a doubt as to its 

 proper name. It issurely a superb deep, very double maroon-crunson. 

 Laurent Carle is much hghter than the other red varieties mentioned; 

 it is a carmine and intensely fragrant. Etoile de France bears a 

 very double, cup-formed flower of deep crimson. 



Among the sahnony or coppery shades. Sunburst is one of the most 

 successfully grown. It is superior to Mrs. Aaron Ward in color and
