FOURTH NATIONAL FLOWER SHOW 177 
The novelties of 19 14 which promise best are: 
Dolly Varden. (Paul & Son.) H. Rugosa. "Light apricot-pink to 
yellow." 
Cecile Custer s. (M. Leenders.) H. T. "Lilac-rose to deep rose-pink." 
Countess ClanwllUam. (Hugh Dickson.) H. T. "Delicate peach-pink, 
edged with deep cherry-red." 
Frail Bertha Kiese. (Kiese & Co.) H. T. "Pure golden yellow." 
Frau Math. Noehl. (N. Welter.) H. T. "Lemon-yellow." 
Josephine. (Paul & Son.) H. T. "Rosy flesh to salmon-yellow." 
Killarney Brilliant. H. T. Sport of the well-known Kiilarney; much 
darker in color, but having same characteristics. 
Lady Plymouth. (Alex. Dickson.) T. " Deep ivory-cream, faintly flushed." 
Margherita Croze. (Ketten Bros.) H. T. "Carmine-purple, changing 
to purple-rose, shaded deep rose-pink." 
Mrs. Charles Reed. (E. J. Hicks.) H. T. "Pale cream, tinted deep 
peach, to soft golden yellow." 
Urania. (M. H. Walsh.) H. P. "Bright crimson." 
Waltham Scarlet. (Paul & Son.) H. T. "Crimson-scarlet." 
The latest novelties in Climbing Hybrid Teas are Climbing Richmond 
(Alex. Dickson) ; Climbing Madame Melanie Soupert (J. Burrell & Co.) ; and 
Climbing Gruss an Teplitz (Conard & Jones). 
The newest of the other Climbers are Mary Lovett, one of Dr. Van Fleet's 
seedlings, "pearly white;" Walsh's America, "delicate pink shading to white"; 
and Purity, a white climber introduced by Hoopes Bro. & Thomas Co. 
We have tested some few 19 15 roses for six months. Most promising are: 
Jacque Poscher. (Pernet Ducher). H. T. Light yellow. 
Madame Colette Martinet. (Pernet Ducher.) H. T. "Old-gold-yellow, 
shaded orange-yellow." 
In addition, there are two seedlings of Chateau de Clos Vougeot: H cosier 
Beauty (Dorner), H. T.; and Admiral Ward (Pernet Ducher), H. T. We hope 
that the latter will prove as good a dark rose as the well-known Mrs. Aaron 
Ward has proven a yellow. Constance (Pernet Ducher), A. B., has been well 
recommended. 
For two years a number of climbers have been introduced which are 
claimed to be perpetual bloomers. One of these flowered here — Pemberton's 
Moonlight, giving good June bloom and a number of blooms thereafter; but the 
foliage mildews; color here, pure white; single. Pemberton has also intro- 
duced the following as everblooming climbers: Ceres, Galatea and Winter Cheer. 
Paul, Leenders and Lambert catalogue new everblooming climbers, which of 
course are not yet tested. 
There are several new men working on hybridization, but Father George 
Schoener, of Portland, Oregon, is doing splendid work. We trust to see his 
creations on the market.
