Cutting back the growth that has just flow¬ 
ered will benefit the new growth, so that 
vigorous shoots for next season’s flowering will 
develop. These shoots can be thinned out 
where necessary and the remaining strong 
shoots tied in, in the fall. 
After testing a large number of varieties 
imported from the most skillful European hy¬ 
bridists, we have concluded the following are 
outstanding in color, form, vigor, and adapt¬ 
ability to growing conditions in this latitude.

flowers of soft silvery gray.
