Second Generation Hybrids 
Of the following, Serenade, Fantasia and 4992 are 
second generation plants of the cross albiflora x macro- 
phylla. Garden Peace and Requiem are back crosses, us- 
ing pollen 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 enor- 
mous, dark green, smooth. <A grand acquisition. 
Not for sale, 1944. 
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. $10.00 
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. 
Delicate, 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 crimson 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.
