H. T. Rose.

As Roses go, the above is yet quite a 
ew variety, having been put into com- 
lerce as recently as 1904. It appeared 
1 fine form in one of the stands of 
[essrs. Frank Cant and Co., Colchester, 
1 the occasion of The National Rose 
ociety's Exhibition at Regent’s Park on 
ie 4th inst. The blooms are of medium 
large size, and are perfectly double, 
id full in the centre, which is inclined 
be conical. The outer petals may be 
;scribed as silvery pink, tending to a 
ral pink in the centre. When seen 
its best form for exhibition, it is there- 
>re a belautiful Rose that stands out 
.ther distinctly from most others. It is 
very free flowering Rose of vigorous con- 
itution, and has been found useful for 
irden decoration as well as for exhibi- 
iri purposes.

Effective VWOw,

The accompanying illustration shows 
very fine form of a Rose that is of easy 
ltivation, and usually gives much satis- 
ction when grown by amateurs. It also 
ooms fairly early, and was at the 
ational Rose Show, where we photo- 
aphed a very beautiful bloom in the 
and of Messrs. Frank Cant and Co., 
'aiswick Rose Gardens, ‘ Colchester. The 
lour of this H. P. Rose is described as 
rise, with the reverse of the petals of 
very white. It might almost be de- 
ribed as a bright carmine, and most 
■ople who do not make a study of colours 
ruld describe it as red or scarlet. The 
00m is quite full in the centre, and the 
iter petals, which first become rolled 
ick, are very broad. As a rule, die 
00m comes in perfect form, and is 
ghly conspicuous and effective in ihe 
irden where a bush or two of it are 
•own. The plant is of vigorous growth, 
id though it has been in commerce for 
e last ten years, it is not so widely re- 
•esented in gardens as it might be.

In this we have another H. T. Rose that 
quite full and high in the centre, with 
•earn coloured petals and highly frag- 
mt. Award of Merit by the R.H.S. on

The above is a creamy white H. T. 
Rose with a salmon flush on the outer 
petals. The bloom is large and suitable 
for exhibition. Award of Merit by the 
R.H.S. on the occasion of the Holland 
Park Show on the qth and 10th inst., 
when shown by Messrs. Alex. .Dickson and 
Sons, Ltd. 
Sweet Pea Elsie Herbert. 
The flowers of this variety are of the 
Countess Spencer strain, and have very 
bright rosy margins, fading to a pale hue 
in the centre. Award of Merit to Mr. C. 
W. Breadmore on the 9th and 10th inst., 
when he showed it at the Holland Park 
Exhibition. 
Fertility from Above. 
Rainfall usually contains ammonia 
equal to six or eight pounds of nitrogen 
per acre. If the water can be made to 
pass through the land the ammonia is 
taken up by the soil, otherwise if the rain¬ 
fall passes off over the surface the am¬ 
monia is largely lost.
