and shaded gold long pointed in the bud. 
I his Rose, no doubt, will be largely grown 
this year, and is being offered by the princi- 
pal growers. 
Other H. T. novelties in which it will be ob- 
served shades of yellow predominate, include: 
Edward Bohane (Dickson & Sons) crimson 
orange; G. Amedee Hammond (Dickson k Sons) 
cadmium yellow or apricot, shading to buff; 
Margaret Dickson Hamill (Dickson &: Sons) 
straw yellow and carmine shades; Mrs. 
Mackellar (Dickson k Sons) yellow, fading 
to almost white. Aladdin (W. Paul) coppery- 
yellow, changing to orange-yellow. Cheerful 
(McGredy) pure orange. Circe (W. Paul) flesh 
white shaded carmine. Clarice Goodacre (Dick- 
son k Son) ivory, with zones of chrome. Cleve- 
land (Hugh Dickson) coppery-yellow, flushed 
reddish copper. Crimson Emblem (McGredy) 
glowing crimson. Donald MacDonald (Dick- 
son k Sons) orange-carmine. Imogen (W. 
Paul) orange-yellow, shading to pale yellow. 
Isobel (McGredy) carmine red, tinted orange

Dickson) reddish copper. Red Cross (Dickson 
& Sons) orange and red. Tipperary (Mc- 
Gredy) golden-yellow in the bud. Ulster Gem 
(Hugh Dickson) primrose yellow. IV. C. 
Gaunt (Dickson & Sons) deep brilliant red. 
Paul’s Scarlet Climber (Wm. Paul & Son, 
1917) has medium sized semi-double flowers, 
scarlet shaded with bright crimson which 
color will not burn or fade until the petals 
fall. A strong climber and perfectly hardy. 
The preponderance of yellow shades is no- 
ticeable. The foregoing are listed largely 
by Dreer, some by Harris and a few by other 
rose growers. 
A new Rose species, which might perhaps 
more properly be considered as a flowering 
shrub is Rosa Ilugonis (Conard & Jones) 
probably the first Rose to bloom in the spring, 
coming into flower from ten days to two weeks 
ahead of the early Harison’s Yellow. 1 he 
color is intense canary-yellow, very bright 
and attractive, and the plant is noteworthy 
all the growing season by reason of its dainty 
foliage. The young shoots are rich crimson 
in color. Reference to this hardy Chinese 
introduction has been made in an earlier 
number of The Garden Magazine. 
CHRYSANTHEMUMS FOR YOUR GARDEN 
T AST season was characterized by won- 
derful weather for Chrysanthemums, 
even through the Middle West, where for 
many previous autumns a killing frost early 
in the season destroyed any chance of suc- 
cessful growing in the garden. 
The Singles were particularly favorites. 
Alongside of the Singles old-fashioned little 
Pompons are simply lost as they are so modest 
in growth and while one gets the same colors 
the ideal varieties for the hardy garden are 
the sorts that flower from September 25th to 
November 15th giving an average of six or 
seven weeks of bloom. This condition is 
found in the modern Early Flowering strains. 
These are not so hardy as the Pompons, how- 
ever. The ideal way of course, is to have a 
bed embracing all the types — Early Flower- 
ing, Singles, and Pompons; then when the 
Early Flowering are cut away the Singles are 
coming into their own; and when these are 
past and gone the Pompons remain to succeed 
them. 
The Early Flowering type this year is en- 
riched by three additions, all seen at the last 
season’s fall shows (Totty) Mrs. Harrison 
Craig, in which the rays are brilliant orange 
with a dust-like crimson shading over this 
yellow color. Mrs. Dean Emery is another 
novel color, chamois-pink. The last — but 
not the least — is Secretary Reagan, a milk 
white; so distinct as to petalage as to be some- 
times mistaken for a Show Dahlia. 
Some of the novelty Singles (Totty) are: 
Carlotta, massicot-yellow; dwarf. II. Marie 
Totty, brilliant crimson with scarlet shadings 
and yellow around its green centre disc; 
wonderful color but cannot be recommended 
for garden growing, but any one who has a 
cold-house can grow it with splendid results. 
Henrietta Taylor, pale-lavender and white. 
Millicent Piper, pure white, flowering early 
in October. Rose IValker, bronzy orange 
tipped blood-red, with petals twisted on the 
end like a cactus-dahlia. Mrs. Albert Phil- 
lips, deep lavender and cream. Veronica, 
pale pink and snow-white combination. Viv- 
ian Cook, magnificent yellow. Miss Ruth S. 
Bergen, bright amaranth with straw-yellow 
zone in centre. Charlotte Waite, a marvelous 
rose-pink in color, Mr. Bergen of Summit, 
N. J., who gave us Mrs. Francis H. Bergen, 
this year has another fine variety, Miss Ruth 
S. Bergen. 
Among other Singles that were favorably 
received last fall, are the three Pierson 
novelties: Jane Ingalls a seedling of a peculiar 
shade of reddish-bronze. Katewood a clear, 
even shade of pink, spoken of as among the 
best pink singles for middle of November 
cutting. Pink Simplicity is a flesh-pink, for 
exhibition use or for general cutting. 
There are a great many Pompon varieties 
that bloom early enough to give the grower 
much satisfaction and will flower until they 
are buried by the snow but when they bloom 
so late that the foliage is disfigured by the 
frost they are not so pleasing to the grower as 
varieties he can pick with good foliage, 
flowers, etc. Lillian Doty a variety that 
nearly everyone knows is one of the finest 
pink Pompons to-day; and this year’s novelty 
White Doty (Scott, I otty, and others) will be 
as popular as the pink variety. New sorts 
in Pompons are not as numerous as in the 
other types. The little miniature flowered 
yellow Pompon “Baby,” especially popular 
under glass, gives us two promising seedlings 
— Little Gem (Smith) lavender pink, a little 
larger than its parent, about one inch in 
diameter. This was the highest scored seed- 
ling at Cleveland, Chrysanthemum Society 
of America, 1915. Hilda Canning (Pierson) 
is the other seedling from the same parent of 
which it is a bronze counterpart. 
CHRYSANTHEMUMS FOR THE GREEN- 
HOUSE 
npHE year 1916 was conspicuous in the 
-*■ Chrysanthemum world, by the exhibit- 
ing of the Japanese Anemone types — known as 
the “Tuxedo Collection.” These were raised 
by Mr. Carl Schaeffer, Supt. for Mr. Richard 
Mortimer, of Tuxedo, N. Y., and created a 
sensation in the Philadelphia, New York, 
and Tuxedo Shows. Mr. Schaeffer is now 
more than eighty years of age and has made 
a specialty of this type for more than fifteen 
years. These varieties are now introduced 
to the public. Chrysanthemum experts pro- 
nounced these Anemones as one of the re- 
markable “breaks” in Chrysanthemum grow- 
ing of recent years. (Totty) 
A named Anemone Chrysanthemum* is 
The Crest (Smith), maturing the end of No- 
vember. The guard petals are long, when 
grown cold can be had after Christmas; 
pure white, showing traces of pink with age. 
The Large-flowered Chrysanthemum for cul- 
tivation under glass (cutflowers) comes to us 
in about the usual number of claimants — it 
would seem that each year sees a score or so 
offered and a corresponding number of older 
ones just drop out. Only at rare intervals 
does a “William Turner ” appear. Among 
this season’s novelties as offered by two lead- 
ing dealers are: 
Barbara Davis, a seedling of Brutus and 
Indian Summer and has the dwarf habit of the 
former; reddish Uronze. Margaret Waite, 
a deep pink sport of the well-known late 
pink Single, Mrs. E. D. Godfrey, but has more 
petals. Can be had in December. Romaine 
W arren, orange yellow or light bronze; a 
clean grower of medium height; when finished 
* it shows an open centre of dark orange color. 
Virginia Holden, deep, velvety crimson; 
flower well formed, small. It makes a good 
quantity of blossoms to the spray. (Pierson) 
Miss Anola Wright, rose pink, resembling 
Chieftain or Doctor Enguehard. Eight and 
one-half inches or more in diameter; buds 
selected August 30th or soon after, produce 
the best blooms. Helen Lee, color a delicate 
flesh pink of Enchantress Carnation shade. 
First week in November. Four feet. Select 
bud the last of August. October Herald, or- 
ange yellow; best blooms from buds selected 
August 25th; grows eight inches or more in 
diameter; 4^ to 5 ft. tall from May planting. 
December Queen, the latest yellow approaching 
orange, slightly penciled with red; blooming 
Nov. 25th to Dec. 5th; of unusual size consid- 
ering the lateness, being 7 to 8 inches in 
diameter; double to the centre from buds 
selected September 20th to 30th. Four feet 
from June planting. Yondota, a rose-pink, 
entirely free from the objectionable magenta 
shade so often found in pinks. Blooms 
October 25th from buds selected August 25th; 
5 ft. from May-planted stock. Smith's Im- 
perial, incurved white, fully developed Octo- 
ber 22d, from any bud after August 25th. 
Dwarf habit, 45 ft.; from May planting will 
produce three to four perfect flowers per plant 
for those who prefer them only medium size.

THE NEWER HARDY CLIMBERS AND 
TRAILERS 
r I 'HREE ornamental-leaved Ampelopsis 
(Farquhar) (two of which are not adapted 
to the colder regions) merit attention: 
Amelopsis Henry ana ( Vitis Henry ana.) 
Resembles our native woodbine. 1 he ground 
color of the leaves is dark velvety green, with 
the mid-rib and principal veins silvery white. 
The foliage changes to a vivid red in fall, mid- 
rib and vein remaining white. Tender. 
Ampelopsis Thomsonii ( Vitis Thomsonii.) 
The leaves are greenish purple above, and 
bright claret color beneath; changing in the 
autumn to rich red. 1 ender. 
A third which is hardier — Ampelopsis 
aconitifolius var. dissecta, growing 8 to 10 ft. 
tall, has bright blue fruit.
