“Lillian Moore” is a garden 
gem with flowers of exquisite 
form and delightful fra- 
grance. It is deep, pure Indian 
yellow in color, with slightly 
deeper centre. The flowers 
are large and very full, of 
perfect Camellia shape, car- 
ried on stiff, erect stems, with 
handsome, deep olive-green 
foliage. The buds are very 
long and pointed, opening 
freely in all weathers and last- 
ing a long time in good con- 
dition. The habit of the plant 
is all that can be desired, free, 
vigorous and branching, mak- 
ing a strong bush, about 
feet in height. It is thorough- 
ly perpetual in habit, from 
early spring until late fall 
])roduces in abundance a 
wealth of blooms of glowing 
color and perfect shape. A 
superb rose for every purpose. 
Orders accepted now to be

The Garden Club of Richmond, Mass. 
TN the August, 1916, issue were several 
-*• interesting notes of doings and accomplish- 
ments of various amateur garden clubs. 
During the winter of 1915 I determined to do 
what I could toward stimulating a greater 
interest in gardens in our primitive little town 
high up in the Berkshire Hills. I invited a 
handful of friends to join with me if they so 
desired and considered my scheme a good one. 
The result was we met May 16 last and have 
been meeting every fortnight since during 
the summer. We took an interest in the wild 
as well as in the cultivated flowers, and at each 
meeting the names of flowers found between 
meetings were brought and a list made which 
now contains more than 100 flowers indigenous 
to this part of the Berkshire Hills. Pictures and 
bulletins were passed around pertaining to the 
dread new blight, the White Pine blister. 
Topics of general interest concerning gardens 
were brought forward; atone meeting a paper 
on the Peony; at other meetings the Sweet 
Pea and the Dahlia were discussed. At 
the Sweet Pea meeting eight different va- 
rieties were brought by one member; these 
were bunched and distributed among those 
present. We have no officers. The meet- 
ings are held in turn at the homes of those 
interested. Rebecca W. Gibbs. 
Two New Roses 
'TpHE following new Roses have been 
A registered by the American Rose Society: 
Pink Ophelia, a beautiful shade of rose pink. 
A sport from Ophelia, but a stronger and more 
vigorous grower than the parent. Originated 
with Mr. F. Breitmeyer, of Mount Clemens, 
Mich., two years ago. 
California, a Rose burnt orange in color 
shaded with golden yellow at the base of the 
petals. The bud is long and pointed; the 
flowers full and fairly fragrant. 1 he plant is

practically proof against mildew. This rose 
is a product of Messrs. Howard & Smith of 
Los Angeles, Cal.
