NEW ROSES. 
In a paper read before the American 
Rose Society, E. G. Hill, of Richmond, 
Tnd., gives the following information: 
Ivory, introduced last year, is a splendid 
producer of buds and flowers during the 
Winter months; in fact, is considered of 
unusual merit and value as a white forcing 
rose. The variety is lacking in foliage, 
and this is a very pronounced defect, 
nevertheless it has so many good qualities 
that it more than counterbalances this 
weak point. Souvenir de Pierre Netting 
was supposed to have attributes and quali¬ 
ties which would commend it as a forcing 
variety. The flower is a beautiful combi¬ 
nation of yellow and pink, with the yellow 
suffusion predominating. It is of good size. 
HUMOROUS. 
There was once a man from Nantucket, 
Who kept all his cash in a bucket; 
But his daughter named Nan, 
Ran away with a man. 
And as for the bucket, Nantucket.

Gyer: “They can never dye.”—Chicago

Greek: “What are you doing now?” 
Brown: “Running a grocery.” Green: 
“Making a success of it?” Brown: 
“Well, yes—in a small weigh.”—Chicago

Farmer Honk: “Deacon Klutchpenny 
ain’t very liberal, is be?” Farmer Buck- 
over: “Nope, he seems to be sufferin’ 
most of the time from lockjaw of the 
pocketbook.—Puck. 
“This isn’t a very good picture of your 
little baby brother, is it?” said the visi¬ 
tor. “No, ma’am,” replied five-year-old 
Elsie. “But then he ain’t a very good 
baby.”—Boston Journal. 
“I NOTICE an eminent chemist says,” 
remarked Mrs. Starvem, “that the time 
will surely come when we may expect to 
get palatable food out of wood.” “That 
may be,” replied Mr. Hallrume, “but we 
never expect to get it out of board.”— 
I wish to make a yearly contraet wdth 
bome hotel, club or dealer to supply 200 quarts dally 
of high-grade milk, or 25 to 30 quarts cream. Moderate 
price to responsible customer.

liroduces finely formed buds, but unfortu¬ 
nately so many of the outer petals are de¬ 
fective and lacking in texture that it prac¬ 
tically disqualifies the rose for Winter 
work. It should make a fine outdoor bed- 
der in sections where Summer bloom i.s 
desired. It should also make a fine rose 
for massing: its fine foliage, with its deep 
coloring lend a charm that is possessed by 
but few varieties. My prediction is that 
Franz Deegen will grow in favor as its 
V.'inter forcing qualities become better and 
more generally known. It is a good vigor¬ 
ous grower, prodticlng long canes not un¬ 
like those produced by Kaiserin Augusta 
Victoria, and is remarkably free in pro- 
duciTig its buds during the Winter montlis. 
It likes good culture and thrives with 
good feed and plenty of it. The color is 
a cbarining tint of yellow, wbicn ha.s a 
depth seen in but few roses. T would cer¬ 
tainly advise a trial of this rose on at 
least a limited scale, .so that it may have 
a universal test over the country. This 
variety has grown in our estimation as 
we have noted its behavior of the past few 
months. 
Perle von Godcsburg was heralded as a 
yellow sport from Kaiserin Augusta Vic¬ 
toria, but only one bloom (Hit of a great 
number shows any pure yellow in coloring. 
In fact, it has so few flowers that differ 
from the variety from which it sported 
that it will hardly pass as a distinct sort. 
There is, however, a sufficient number of 
yellow flowers to show its tendency to 
sport into a distinct variety. Sa.xonla Is 
a variety from Germany; it is claimed to 
be a seedling from Golden Gate; the 
growth and general make-up of the flower 
show its relationship to its American 
parent. It has not been tested sufficiently 
t.i determine its Winter blooming qualifi¬ 
cations, but we are Inclined to think well 
of the variety. It has finer coloring than 
Golden Gate and Is somewhat on the order 
of Mme. Pierre Guillot in its muvrkings and 
the bud has a much better form. Duchess 
of Portland Is one of Alex. Dickson’s seed¬ 
lings. and a most magnificent rose It is. 
It is larger and of heavier texture than 
our famous Kaiserin—a truly noble flower, 
but its neck is so weak that its flowers 
look down at Mother Earth. This is most 
unfortunate, for it has mamy charms to 
its credit. Mildred Grant is another of 
Dickson’s fine Hybrid Teas, showing its 
Hybrid blood in its growth and form of 
flower to a most remarkable degree. It 
is pearl pink in color, a choice, refined 
flower. This won the English Rose So¬ 
ciety’s gold medal. In favored places we 
think this variety will certainly be heard 
from, especially for garden purposes. 
Fnnce de Bulgaria is a valuable new 
color in the Hybrid Tea class, buff yellow 
shaded with apricot: the form of the bloom 
is not unlike many of the Hybrid Per- 
petuals, its flower being very prettily 
shaped, quite full and double. This should 
make a fine pot variety as well as a choice 
bedding subject. The petals are too short 
for its use as a cut flower and we hardly 
think it would force were it tried. William 
Askew is of sturdy growth, producing 
freely its fine large flowers. This Is a va¬ 
riety well worth a trial for garden or pot 
culture. It is one of Mr. Guillot’s produc¬ 
tions and is possibly the very best of hlB 
later varieties. Laura Wattine is a Sou- 
pert production, and, we think, one of the 
very best that this firm has produced. It 
is a brilliant dark red, with a fine long 
bud and a good double flower. It is a cross 
between Marie Baumann and Mme. Caro¬ 
line Testout. This should make a valuable 
addition for garden purposes.

“Have you made any good resolutions 
for the new year, Bobby?” asked the 
minister, “Yes, sir; one,” replied the 
little fellow. “I’ve resolved not to fight 
other boys.” “That’s good,” said the 
minister. “And how did you happen to 
make it?” “ ’Cause,” answered truthful 
Bobby, “1 always get licked.”—Chicago

Toledo. O.-’March 20.1903. 
Toledo Is situated on Lake Erie at the head of 
navigation. From 1890 to 18.'4) Toledo grew faster 
than any other city of that class ih the United States. 
Toledo has a population of 1.50,000. is the third largest 
city of the fourth State of the Union, and is growing 
faster than ever in its history. Toledo will mark close 
to 300,000 in the next census. Toledo is the largest 
railroad center between New York and Chicago, and 
is one of the largest in the United States. 
I offer improved farms within three miles of the 
city limits with good buildings, on good roads and 
electric car line at $150 per acre. These farms will in 
time be within the city limits and be very valuable. 
Toledo has better banks, schools, and churches than 
many larger cities. Parties seeking investments send 
for circular or write for information.
