THE NATIONAL NURSERYMAN 
Plant is a strong, vigorous grower, medium height, good stem, 
and a rapid propagator. Very free bloomer in clusters. 
Remarks —This should not be confused with “Duchesse de Ne¬ 
mours” (Guerin) which from the description in the catalogue of its 
originator is a ‘‘clear violet, lilac center” and has been greatly 
confused in this country with ‘‘Edulis Superba.” 
UMBELLATA ROSEA 
Species —P. albiflora. Origin unknown. 
Donated by Cottage Gardens Co., and Dessert. 
Description in brief —Large, informal rose type with violet rose 
2 (154) guards and amber white narrow petals in center, with wide 
petals same color as guards found occasionally in center of bloom. 
Very early. Extra good variety for both landscape and cut blooms. 
Description in detail —Blooms are very variable in form, varying 
all the way from anemone to rose on the same plant. Guard petals 
violet rose 2 (154) surrounding narrow', central petals of amber 
white, w'hich fade to nearly pure white. In strong blooms carpels 
are entirely transformed and central petals are mixed with wide 
carpelodes same color as guards, which nearly conceal the narrow, 
white petals and fade in the sun to pale pink. Plant is a very 
strong grower, upright, and will stand heavy showers without 
support. Free bloomer in clusters. 
Synonym —“Umbellata Rosea” was renamed by mistake to 
‘‘Sarah Bernhardt.” The same variety has also occurred under 
the name of ‘‘La France.” There is such a variety as ‘‘La France,” 
originated by Lemoine in 1901, but ‘‘Sarah Bernhardt” is simply a 
synonym of “Umbellata Rosea” and should be known as such. 
B. G. PRATT CO., SCALECIDE CUPS 
An excellent type of advertising is being conducted by our pro¬ 
gressive manufacturers of fungicides, the B. G. Pratt Co. of New 
York City. They are offering prizes to horticultural societies in 
the various parts of the country for the best results secured by the 
use of scalecide in controlling insect enemies. The Company has 
thus far donated eighteen of these cups to horticultural societies 
throughout the country. The terms of competition are outlined in 
a circular available to all who care to apply for it. Interested 
persons should write to B. G. Pratt Co., 50 Church St., New York 
City. 
SEVEN REASONS FOR FALL SPRAYING 
One of the most interesting little booklets that has come to our 
notice in many a day, is one entited “The Whys and Wherefores 
of Fall Spraying” issued by the B. G. Praft Co., 50 Church St., 
New York City, manufacturers of “Scalecide.” In about one 
hundred w r ords Mr. Pratt has given seven reasons for Fall Spraying 
and each reason is sane and sound. Mr. Pratt’s arguments are 
backed up by the opinion of several successful orchardists and 
nurserymen, also the Bulletins issued by the Experiment Stations 
of several States. 
One or more of these booklets will be promptly mailed upon 
request to the B. G. Pratt Co. 
A “PEACH PROFESSOR” IN PENNSYLVANIA 
Prof. R. S. Mackintosh, for several years professor of horticul¬ 
ture and forestry at the Alabama Polytechnic Institute, Auburn, 
Ala. and State Horticulturist, has accepted a position at Pennsyl¬ 
vania State College as head of the department of Peach Culture. 
P. F. Williams, assistant professor of horticulture, will succeed 
Professor Mackintosh, both in the chair of horticulture and as 
State horticulturist. J. C. C. Price, instructor in horticulture, 
becomes assistant professor. Professor Mackintosh is, to nursery¬ 
men and others of Alabama, one of the most familiar figures in the 
State. He has been prominent, since the organization of the 
Alabama Horticultural Association, in the workings of that 
organization.
