USEFUL AS A CoT-FLOWER 

 Adolph Muller, Norristown, Pa., writes: "The single Roses deserve to become more 

 popular. On June 28 I cut a big bunch of American Pillar, placed them in a vase on my 

 dining-room table, where they remained until the following Sunday without dropping 

 their petals. They then commenced to fade after being cut and in water for eight 

 days. Don't think I ever saw a more beautiful bunch of flowers, they are far more 

 graceful than the double flowers."

 double; color pure, deep, rich crimson, more intense than the old 

 Crimson Rambler.
