HA'BRID. 
■ ml little alpine sub-shrub, suggest 
- nail daisy and Daphne cneorum 
from a little distance. ^Uthough 
inches droop and possibly become 
‘rate as they extend, the branches 
therefrom, and so make dense little 
out six inches high, clothed with 
fT-green leaves, each growth carry- 
*! of lilac-coloured flowers. It is a 
Rowing and earlier-flowering plant 
vjjical A. armenum. A.AI., R.H.S., 
Miss Willmott, V.M.H. (gardener, 
round the eye. If this proves hardy, it will 
be a most desirable plant for the rock garden, 
but at any rate it should be a most useful 
subject for the cool greenhouse. A.AI., 
R.H.S., April 29. Air. Alaurice Prichard, 
Christchurch, Hants. 
ROSE ERNA TESCHENDORFF. 
A dwarf, double-flowered polyantha rose 
that promises well as a bedding variety. We 
were assured that the glowing crimson of the 
neat flowers does not burn under summer 
sunshine, and if this is so the rose has a 
fine future, because varieties that fade to a 
in most instances, a pair of semi-drooping, 
large-sized flowers of the purest whiteness. 
A lovely daffodil, and a fine free grower. 
A.M., R.H.S., April 29. Mr. W. B. Cranfield, 
Enfield Chase. 
Evangeline.—A large Leedsi variety of 
great merit and beauty. A sitrong grower, 
it carries its flowers well on long stems, Tlie 
stout perianth segments overlap and are pure 
white. The neat cup or crown is very dainty 
and of the palest primrose tint. A.M., 
R.H.S.. April 29. Air. H. Phillips, Olton. 
ROSES. 
Aladame Edouard Heriot.—lliis is the beau¬ 
tiful Pernetiana rose that excited so much 
comment at the International Exhibition at 
Chelsea in 1913, when it was exhibited by the 
raiser, M. Pernet-Ducher, and won the 
“‘Daily Mail ” gold cup as the best new rose 
shown on that occasion. Tlie buds when just 
expanding are like those of Lady Battersea 
in shape and pose, but their colour is rich 
orange-vermilion or orange-terra cotta; the

alpine plant, with wing stems, clothed with narrow grey-green leaves, and carrying heads of lilac flowers.

bluish-magenta under bright sunshine are 
not pleasing for massing. It makes a capital 
pot plant, and is rather taller and stronger- 
growing than Jessie, which is already a popu- 
lar red polyantha variety. A.M., R.H.S., 
April 29. Mr. W. Profittlich, Twickenham. 
AVALLFLOWER PRIMROSE AIONARCH. 
Opinions were divided as to the merit of 
this wallflower. Some who saw it considered 
it a great advance, but others, and chiefly 
those who like the loo^r, lighter-habited var¬ 
ieties, could find nothing to admire in it. 
Tlie variety is very sturdy, and has somewhat 
stiff, stock-like growths and spikes. The 
latter are large and dense, and the light 
yellow flowers are about two inches wide. 
A good bed of it would doubtless look very 
effective. A.M., R.H.S., April 29. Messrs. 
J. Ross and Son, Kelvedon. 
DAFFODILS. 
Venetia.—One of the most chaste and beau¬ 
tiful of daffodils, and one that was very 
greatly admir^. It is a strong-growing, 
triandrus hybrid, the .‘^tout stems carrying. 
fully-expanded blooms are deep pink, heavily 
fluslied with salmon-orange. A brilliant rose, 
and apparently a strong giower and free 
bloomer. It is sweetly scented as well as 
very handsome and elegant. It should prove 
a grand rose for floral decorations. Gold 
Aledal, N.R.S., May 1. Messrs. G. Beckwith 
and Son, Ware Road, Hoddesdon. 
Lady Plymouth.—A showy H.T. rose, deli¬ 
cately scented, and with large, shapely 
flowers of considerable substance. The colour 
is soft light yellow with sulphur tinting in 
the half-opened blooms, and a creamy pink 
shading in the fully-opened flowers. Gold 
Medal, N.R.S., May 1. Messrs. Alex. Dick¬ 
son and Sons, Newtownards. 
Airs. Forde.—A large and beautiful H.T. 
rose of tetrong growth, and apparently grand 
constitution. It is broad petallcd, and yet 
makes up a neat and pointed centre. The 
colour is palest flesh, almost white, with a 
creamy shade at the base of each ix'ital; 
sweetly scented. Gold Aledal, N.R.S., 
Alay 1. Alessrs. Alex. Dickson and Sons, 
Newtownards.
