varieties, similar to the early June climbers, but post-rose-bug 
in their time of blooming. 
Evangeline — The single pale-pink hybrid Wichuriana flowers 
on the safe side of July first. 
Cinderella — A double clear pink deeper than D'orothy, is the * 
last of the ramblers to bloom, these two can be had from N. H. 
Walsh, Woods Hole, Mass., who originated them. 
A number of the ramblers give a mild second blooming in 
September when the sprays are most appreciated. 
Delight — A single cherry with prominent yellow anthers; 
Debutante, silvery pink, fragrant; and Danae, yellowish, all have 
this remontant habit. They come from Walsh also. , 
Those who are fortunate enough to live in a rose-bug-less 
locality should not fail to get some of the new choice climbers 
such as Zephirine Druhin, silvery-pink from G. L. Ehrle, Rich- 
field, N. J. ; Lucile, double flesh and salmon from Farquhar ; 
Ghiselaine de Feligonde, buff and apricot from Bobbink, Atkins 
and Sweetheart, cream with bright pink buds. 
Of the yellowish roses the true Gardenia, with its long yellow 
buds (Walsh) and Goldfinch and Aviateur Bleriot are probably 
the best. There is a new Shoiver of Gold that is said to be the 
very best, but as I have not seen it in bloom I must wait till next 
year to recommend it. Rosa Hugonis blooms in May, with the 
Iris; it is a citron-yellow single Rose, flowering densely along 
its branches, the whole tall loose bush is literally smothered in 
blossoms and it is most ornamental for cutting. 
Do get Campanula lactiflora cerulea and alba this fall. Perennials 
They can be had from Henry Dreer, Philadelphia, although not to Plant 
in his catalog. But we have arranged with Mr. Thilow, who is in Now 
charge of such things at Dreer 's, to have them for us, and they 
are ready. They are upright Bellflowers, light mauve with a 
white center, and white with a bluish center, bloom for three 
months and are from three to four feet high. The seed can be 
got at Farquhar (No. 6268), but as they are very hardy peren- 
nials and long-lived it is a good investment to get the plant 
this fall. 
Sparks variety of Aconite is another plant you cannot do 
without, dark violet flowers, branching habit, growing about 5 
feet high. The low-growing hardy Delphinium Chinensis alba 
(Farquhar seeds and plants) is invaluable for the front of the 
border, I cannot imagine why it is not better known as it is fine 
for picking— its sister plant, the blue Delphinium Chinensis, is 
much better known. 
Mauve Thalictrum dipterocarpum is another choice new per- 
ennial which you should plant now (Dreer). 
In ordering the exquisite salmon-pink Oriental Poppy, either 
Mrs. Perry or Princess Victoria Louise, be sure to get it from 
some one who takes especial care not to mix it with the red
