AMERICAN HOMES AND GARDENS

1 1 bi 
cred by the Koic, ha\ c been 
addeil. so tfiat it*s quite pos- 
sible to plant a tlo/en beds 
with as many liifferent colors 
ami forms. 
Many gardeners will put 
forward the argument that it 
is barely possible to find a 
dozen hybrid d'eas that are 
strictly hardy. We might 
say the same of the hybrid 
perpetLials. I low many Rose 
growers arc willing to risk 
the latter varieties without 
earthing up, or at least 
mulching the beds for pro- 
tection in Winter. I he lact 
remains, if we give the hy- 
brid Teas the same attention 
that is bestowed upon the 
hybrid perpetuals in many 
gardens, the results will 
prove to be about the same 
in the Spring. I '.ven though 
it is advisable to take precau- 
tion and cover them a little 
more than those classed as 
hardy; surely the extra labor 
involved is amply repaid by 
the length of their Rowering 
season, viz., five months practically 
When beds that harmonize in color 
Rambler Roses are excellent for pergola planting 
instead of five weeks, 
are desired, the “Kil- 
larney" in pink and white are 
very fine. In red and yellow. 
"Rhea Reid" and "Mrs. 
Aaron Ward." I'or crim- 
son. "Ktoile de I-'rance" and 
‘•General McArthur." All 
pink. "La France," and pink, 
"Killarney." bellows, ‘ Har- 
ry Kirk." a beautiful Rose of 
deep sulphur yellow, and 
"Duchess of Wellington, 
saffron yellow. 
For a bed of real red 
Roses the variety "Gruss an 
'Feplitz" is unequaled. 1 he 
Rowers are small, but borne 
in profusion, bor a mixed 
bed "Betty." with its Rowers 
of ruddy gold; “Bessie 
Brown," creamy white; "An- 
toine Rinore," rosy Resh on 
yellow ground; "Kaiserin 
Augusta Victoria," pearly 
white, shading to a lemon 
centre. These four blend 
beautifully together. "Caro- 
line Testout,” "My Mary- 
land." "Jonkheer," "J. L. 
Mock" and "Wm. R. Smith" 
make a quartette of hybrid 
teas in shades of pink that for a bedding display is hard 
to equal. 'Fhere are so many beautiful varieties in this 
The American Pillar Rose is a prolific blooming variety
