Second Generation Hybrids 
Of the following, Serenade, Fantasia and 4992 are sec- 
ond generation plants of the cross albiflora x macrophylla. 
Garden Peace and Requiem are back crosses, using pol- 
len of an albiflora x macrophylla hybrid on an albiflora 
variety. 
Garden Peace (formerly Peace). (1941) Level white 
single blooms, held high, crowded with surrounding 
buds. Its side blooms give it a very long season. Ex- 
ceptionally good as a garden plant. Foliage enormous, 
dark green, smooth. Plant very tall. A grand acqui- 
sition. 
Requiem. (1941) Very tall, as tall as Garden Peace. 
Flower smaller, but a perfect waxy white single bloom, 
held flat, with high golden centre. Petals of heavy kid- 
like substance. Much admired. 
Serenade. (1941) Single smooth-edged petals of heavy 
substance. Palest flush. Tall, superb carriage. 
Fantasia. (1941) Single flesh pink, crinkled petals of 
great substance; crimson stigmas. Grand foliage and 
stature. 
No. 4992. Second generation from the cross. The first 
generation plants are usually sterile. This plant has 
strongly fertile pollen and sets seed regularly. It is 
therefore of great interest to the hybridist. 
Albiflora x Wittmanniana 
Green Ivory. Flowers light green with some yellow. Dis- 
tinct and beautiful. A novel color and a very early 
variety. $10. 
Ballerina. (1941) Large bomb of delicate greenish yel- 
low, full, fringed. Very early for a double. A hand- 
some flower. 
Elizabeth Cahn (1942) Very large white goblet; petals 
somewhat twisted, with underlay of faint green. Deli- 
cate, erect, beautiful. $10.00 
Albiflora x tenuifolia 
Smouthi. Often offered as a form of anomala or even as 
that species. It is really a hybrid made in France about 
1845. It is an excellent plant, bearing fine bright crim- 
son flowers both showy and fragrant. 
No. 827%. I repeated the cross to make sure, and got a 
series of plants similar to Smouthi and with the same 
fragrance. This one is much darker in color than 
Smouthi; a tall conspicuous plant.
