p121 Agnes Barclay. Our new Treasurer, Mr. W. H. Dunallan, Northcote, tells how to use our new rose effectually. “To the enthusiast, desirous of growing nothing but roses, and at a loss what to do for a border, the new Alister Clark creation, Agnes Barclay, is the greatest boon possible. A beautifully compact bush of about eighteen inches high, bright green foliage, and constantly loaded with lovely pink buds, which open into pink and cream flowers, it is indeed the ideal border plant, and will be a source of delight to anyone who uses it for this purpose."

A catalogue of roses for the 1927 season has been received from S. Brundrett, Essendon Rose Nursery, Moonee Ponds, Victoria. All the best of the old roses have been listed, and among recent new roses are Agnes Barclay and Billy Boiler, two roses presented to the National Rose Society of Victoria by Mr. Alister Clark. Agnes Barclay is a good decorative rose, of yellow and reddish salmon tints. The growth is low and shrubby, but densely covered with clean, mildew-proof foliage. It would form a fine low hedge in a garden, and if a quantity were planted in this manner a continuous supply of blooms might be gathered in winter and summer alike.

AUTUMN ROSE SHOW.
Agnes Barclay, an apricot salmon rose, presented by Mr. Clark to the National Rose Society, may now be ordered, and is a typical specimen of a rose which blooms over many months. The foliage is mildew-proof and blight-proof, and when used as a low-growing hedge, 4ft. to 5ft. in height, it is very effective.
