split, and resists disease. This Carnation has been grown for 
several years (for cut bloom only) for all the leading florists in the 
kingdom,and it is acknowledged by them to be the finest Carna¬ 
tion lor all floral decorations, its lasting proclivities in a cut

^^RiTisH Raised Roses.— Not many years 
ago we were almost dependent upon 
the French raisers for our new Roses, and 
although they sent us a vast amount of 
rubbish, it must be admitted that they 
have sent us some splendid examples, and 
indeed claim a very large proportion of our 
best varieties. Still, considering the num¬ 
ber they have sent out, by no means a 
large_ percentage of their introductions 
remain in general cultivation, not nearly so 
good a percentage, in fact, as our own 
British raised Roses can show. In very 
few cases have our home raisers sent out 
useless varieties, and those which many 
may consider as such certainly come good 
in some localities. 
During the last decade we have had 
some valuable additions to our lists, and 
each season sees some good Roses distri¬ 
buted. In this connection, the National 
Rose Society has done good work in keep¬ 
ing spurious novelties in check, by the 
institution of the competition for the gold 
medal for seedlings. A Rose not good 
enough to run the gauntlet of public 
opinion in this competition can scarcely be 
considered good enough to add to the 
splendid collections now cultivated. All 
good new Roses of British origin can be
