FLORIBUNDA 
This new classification, the Fleribunda Roses, was originally classed under the Polyanthas, but 
they are quite distinct because they have larger blossoms. They are advanced hybrids of the Poly- 
anthas and bloom equally as much, usually in large clusters and like them give a mass effect.

grower to 3 ft. Large, 3 in., semi-double, flat, deep 
crimson blossoms. Very profuse and continu-

POT-POURRI 
Gather,the petals every day before they have lost some of their sweetness, and partially dry 
them in the sun—twenty-four hours is enough time to shrivel them a little. Before putting the Rose 
leaves in the jar, It 1s well to put in five drops of oil of Rose Geranium mixed with the same amount 
of glycerine to prevent evaporation. Add the freshly dried leaves as they are secured, and with each 
lot that Is put nto the jar add a teaspoonful of alcohol to retain the natural scent. When all the 
leaves that can be had are gathered and in the jar, sprinkle a little salt, and shake every day for a 
couple of weeks until they are partly ‘‘ripened,” then add 14 ounce of allspice, 14 ounce nutmeg, 
14 ounce cinnamon, | ounce orris root, 1 ounce dried lavender flowers, and a few heliotrope if they 
can be had. A half ounce of finely crushed tonquin-bean can also be added. Keep the jar closely 
covered except when it is wanted to perfume the room. Then add a few drops of alcohol ito it, to 
enhance its}fragrance and also to preserve the odor of the contents.
