Around The Garden 
Another summer spent almost entirely in our own gardens has really given us an op- 
portunity to become better acquainted with many of the newer varieties. 
Early in the season AURORA attracted our attention! A bright salmon rose, towering 
above its neighbors with mammoth ruffled blossoms—truly spectacular! TARA and MAR- 
GUERITE were very fine too. 
Not far away was MADONNA, such a refined pure white; perhaps more stately than 
SURFSIDE but Surfside is increasingly popular with all who see it and grow it. More on the 
creamy side, and of massive growth, is WHITE GOLD, particularly popular with the exhibi- 
tionists. 
The vivid reds such as: ERREY’S SCARLET, MASTER MYRON, and SOUTHERN DRAMA, 
are outstanding in any garden. JULES AMOTT is a nice shade of red, very lovely, while 
MRS. MARK’S MEMORY is a bit more on the rose red shade. Turning to the darker reds we 
admire MOHAWK greatly and darker still is BLACK MAGIC—really dark and rich. 
Growing near some of these darker reds we note EVENING LIGHT, a lovely flesh, 
brightened by a rosy blotch in the throat; and BUNGANA, a rich textured flesh too. 
Royal in their coloring are: IMPERIAL PURPLE, NAROOMA, and ELANORA. Then we 
acclaim VULCAN, BURMA, and CONVOY,—hard to really discriminate between these 
beauties. PARNASSUS is quite an addition to this color group. 
Scattered about the field are the pinks, in all shades from tthe delicate light pink of 
HOPEDALE and the apricot pink of SUSQUEHANNA, strengthening in tone with PINK 
JEWEL, PHEDRA, MARION PEARL and PINK RADIANCE; then to the rosier pinks—-ROSEA, 
ROSY MORN, and GENGHIS KHAN. There are so many striking and beautiful pinks it is 
hardly fair to differentiate. Our tastes vary, fortunately, and it would be difficult to choose 
for anyone else. CAPEHEART is popular with us naturally and our PRESTIGE, more of a light 
salmon, makes a fine showing. PINK LASS and LIPSTICK with their attractive throat mark- 
ings, are very worthwhile. 
Familiar to many of you are HARVEST MOON and MARY DAMARIS,—both fine yellows. 
MOTHER KADEL was very outstanding this summer and we liked the tall spikes of FRANK 
WARNER. 
The rich orange of BANCROFT WINSOR is noticeable in everyone’s garden and seems 
more popular with visitors each year. SUNBURST was outstanding too with its warm orange 
shades. Both these varieties have a blending but noticeable blotch in the throat. 
No garden is complete without its blues and, while there are not as many new ones in 
this group, there are a few. AZURINE, for instance, is a fine tall blue, a bit on the light 
shade, with large florets and very nice. CABARITA and TUNIA’S BLUE are well worth 
growing and WINTERMOON is especially nice—more of a solid blue. Shading towards the 
darker ones we like INDIGO and LEONARDO DA VINCI—very deep and rich in tone. 
ELIZABETH THE QUEEN makes more of an impression on us each year and MAUVETTE, 
of Burns’, holds our attention. There still is—and | hope always will be—MINUET, a grand 
tribute to Joe Coleman. 
Perhaps you are not all as fond of smokies but they must not be forgotten and there are 
many lovely ones. MIDNIGHT SUN and NORWOTTUCK are most unusual and BRONZE- 
WING and GLENORA, of Errey’s, are really lovely. RECADO and MARIA STUART are some- 
what different in shading but just as fine. 
It is difficult to limit oneself so do not think these few varieties are the only fine ones. 
There are so many and we have tried to interest you in some of the newer glads that you have 
not all seen. We really like them all but, like human nature, some are closer than others.
