cold climate. All in all, Mrs. S. T. Wright is a tea-rose of the first 

 merit. Perhaps we love yellow roses best because thej suggest 

 sunshine and sunsets. 



'm «\RS. CHARLES J. BELL is a rose we should all gTow, not 

 *V* ^ alone because of her beauty and exquisitely shaded flesh 

 1^^] pink coloring, but because we need as many generous 

 bloomers as possible and certainly Mrs. Charles J. Bell is bounti- 

 ful in this respect, as well as being a rose of character, sturdi- 

 ness and good form. 



For our yellow rose beds, there are three good new roses, the 

 fiirst is Comtesse de Rafelis St- Sauveur (rather an impressive 

 name) one of those coppery-gold, coral and flame blends we so 

 delight in, and besides this it is a thoroughly desirable variety. 

 The Comtesse is really a very lovely rose, so is Isobel, the second 

 of the three; it is a single, five-petaled flower of great size and 

 has the flame, copper and gold tints and possesses a perfume you 

 Avill enjoy. The third is Raymond, a fine varietj^ producing an 

 unusuall}^ long and handsome bud that matures into a charm- 

 ingly full substantial bloom. The foliage of all three is excellent. 



While on the subject of yellow roses I must say a word for 

 Perle d'Or and Baby Doll. Do you know, Amateur Gardeners, 

 that these are little jewels for bordering our yellow rose beds? 

 Perle d'Or is as indefatigable a bloomer as Marie Pavie and it 

 has the sweetest little, perfect, full-petaled blossoms jon ever 

 saw, and they are of the loveliest shade of saffron-gold imaginable, 

 and it is ideal for cutting because of its long sprays and good 

 foliage. Perle d'Or is not a novelty, but I know it has never dis- 

 appointed anyone, for its deliciously-scented miniature blooms 

 will please the most critical. Baby Doll is also an edging rose of 

 the liliputian type, dear important baby flowers of perfect con- 

 tour and wondrous coloring, amber, coj)pery orange, gold. I hope 

 y^ou will grow both Perle d'Or and Baby Doll. 



Should you need more brilliancy in your pink rose beds allow 

 fragrant, gaily-colored Ellen Poulsen to provide it. Although in 

 the dwarf class of roses Ellen Poulsen is rather a dominant dwarf,
