MRS. JENNIE DEVERMAN. (Harry Dever- 
man, 1933.) While there have been several 
sports of the President Herbert Hoover Rose 
recently introduced, including Texas Cen¬ 
tennial, we find Mrs. Jennie Deverman su¬ 
perior in some ways. The color is cerise-red 
on opening, with a perfectly formed bud of 
carmine-red. This sport of Hoover origi¬ 
nated in a near-by nursery where it has con¬ 
sistently shown Setter plant and blooming 
habits than its parent, and that is saying a 
whole lot because rosarians everywhere 
agree on the reliability of the Hoover Rose.
