THE GARDENING WORLD 
May 30, 1903. 
Baron Adolphe Rothschild, brilliant red and carmine centre ; 
Lady Mosley, warm rose with. green edge and translucent; 
Jules Picot, delicate red and netted with deep green ; Lord 
Rosebery, bright green with rose and carmine centre ; Rio de 
Janeiro, brilliant rose with green edge and translucent ; Arthur 
Dickson, a new creamy-white variety, with red spots ; Charle¬ 
magne, with a huge red leaf and green netting ; Marquis 
d’Albertas, white, with heavy green mottled margin ; Triomphe 
de Comte, brilliant carmine with olive green border ; Gaspard 
Craver, red centre with broad green margin ; L’Automne, soft 
greenish-yellow with pink blotches ; Icaris, red netted with 
green and bordered green. These were all arranged in excel¬ 
lent fashion, and, notwithstanding the sunless spring, were of 
huge size, well coloured, and in excellent exhibition form. 
Messrs. J. Veitch and Sons, Limited, Chelsea, had a very ex¬ 
tensive group of stove plants, the leading features of which were 
Caladiums, Crotons, fine leaved Dracaenas, and Dieffenbachias. 
Amongst the Caladiums they had large and splendidly-coloured 
pieces of the Mikado, Baron de Rothschild, Mrs. H. Veitch, 
Heine de Denmark, Harry Lovett, Louis Van Houtte, and 
Triomphe de Comte. Along the Pont were smaller and usually 
very brightly coloured plants of the other varieties of Caladium, 
which cannot fail to be highly serviceable in the stove or warm 
conservatory, or for table decoration, lor instance, they had 
very lovely plants of Princess of Teck, Lorraine, Isis, Sir Oswald 
Moslev, Lady Mosley, Mme. E. Pvnaert, May Archer, Comte de 
Germiny. All of tire above were exceedingly richly coloured, 
showing that Mr. Tivey has lost none of his cunning as a grower, 
while the arrangement left nothing to be desired. We cannot 
omit mentioning the magnificent pitcher carried by Nepenthes 
Sharman Crawford, Mrs. John Laing, Mme. Le C harme, and the 
splendid new hybrid perpetual I ran Karl Druschke. Caroline 
Testout, Spenser, Aurora, and Duchess of Albany were also 
notable Roses. The lovely Leuchtstem was also in good form. 
Messrs. George Paul and Son, Cheshunt, Herts, also arranged 
a very comprehensive and attractive group of Roses, which drew 
great attention from the visitors. Very pretty were the young 
standards of Rosa wichuriana, showing how well adapted they 
are for making weepers. The natural habit of the plant is to 
creep on the ground, but by grafting them standard high they 
make excellent trees with umbrella-like heads, or, on the other 
Begonia IIon. Lady Weeld. (See Begonias.) 
Labuknum Vossii. (See Trees and Shrubs.) 
sanguinea and N. mastersiana, which carried ten pitchers of the 
largest size of that hybrid, which was one of the progeny of 
N. sanguinea. Others in the. group were N. Burkei excellens and 
N. ventricosa. Along the front they had well-grown plants of 
such choice things as Tillandsia Regnierii, Nidularium Meyen- 
dorfii, Leea amabilis splendens, and Microstylis intermedia. 
ROSES. 
A very line effect was produced by a large group of Roses set 
up by Messrs, ffm. Paul and Son, Waltham Cross, Herts, who 
had a large number of Pillar and Rambler Roses, which by 
their size or height and the varied colours of the flowers did , 
much to take off any monotony that would have prevailed in a 
group of dwarf plants alone. Very fine was the new Dorothy 
Perkins, of which we give an illustration. The double pink 
flowers are produced with great profusion along the entire length 
of the stems. Waltham Rambler is a form of Rosa .multiflora 
crossed with.a, Tea, and produces a wealth of rosy pink flowers 
with a white- centre, set off with orange anthers. The great 
feature of this Rose is that the flowers hang on till the whole 
of the hunch is open. Tall pot specimens of Crimson. Rambler 
were also conspicuous. Amongst the varieties of Rosa, wichuriana 
very pretty was the pillar of Alberic Barbier. Other fine Roses 
were the new Perle de Neige, a white rambler, also Mrs. R. G. 
hand, they may be grown as pillar plants to great advantage. 
Interesting and beautiful was their new Tea Rambler, produced 
as the result of a secondary cross. The flowers are Tea scented, 
and out of doors the blooms resemble those of a miniature lea. 
Other good Roses they had in pots were Hellene Guillot, butt' 
white; Primavera, a pale Tea Rose of a similar colour to 
Duchess of Portland ; the crimson hybrid Tea Liberty ; the new 
Souv. de Pierre Notting ; the white broad-petalled Tea named 
Elise Fugier, and the lovely Lady Battersea. When grown as a 
bush Rose in a pot the hybrid tea Mildred Grant produces 
blooms of enormous size. Under this treatment Frau Karl 
Druschke also behaves Splendidly, though it can also be grown 
tall. Queen of Sweden is a new one of variable colour, conical 
in bud, orange salmon in the centre, and shading to white on the 
outer petals. Lovely also were Dorothy Perkins and Psyche. 
They also had a plant of Rosa- rugosa repens alba, a. hybrid 
between R. rugosa and R. wichuriana.' The habit of it is arch¬ 
ing, and often bent or twisted like a Japanese pigmy tree. It 
forms a huge bush, however, and we refer readers to the illustra¬ 
tion of this in another column to show to^ what size it grows at 
Cheshunt. This was the original bush, hut the foliage hides 
the peculiarity of the stems. , 
Messrs. Frank Cant and Co., Braiswick Rose Gardens, Col¬ 
chester, exhibited a group in the form of cut Roses and Roses in
