In the long experience of the writer would advise eight or ten for this space Instead of twenty varieties as asked for; and I should start the list with White Rambler, Baltimore Belle, Yellow Rambler, Gem of the Prairie, Empress of China.

Bessie Brown has many points that go to make up a valuable Rose. While it is probably the grandest variety of Carnot color, it sometimes comes with crimped outer petals, which somewhat detracts from its beauty.

During the past season a considerable amount of pleasure has been afforded by a half dozen plants of this new Rose which Messrs. A. W. Burpee & Co. are introducing. We received them early in the season before the frosts departed for good. They had been grown under glass, were in flower on arrival, and from that time to the present (excepting two weeks in August) they have not been without a flower. The Burbank Rose is thus almost a really perpetual bloomer. The accompanying figures convey a very real idea of the character of the individual bloom and of the free flowering qualities of the plant...It is unfortunate that a Rose which combines so many attractive features and a good color should be absolutely scentless...The color of the flower is very pleasing but difficult of description. Luther Burbank, the raiser, describes it thus, "perhaps more cherry-crimson than pink, with none of the dead color of Hermosa," and indeed the brightness of the color is very striking; the tint appears to deepen into a glow at the base of each petal...

New York
The exhibition of flowers and sculpture at Madison Square Garden...
The Rose classes were fairly well contested and some good blooms were to be seen. The greatest interest centered around the exhibit of Canadian Queen shown by the Dale Estate, Brampton, Ont. This is a sport from Mrs. J. P. Morgan and strongly resembles, if, indeed, it is not identical with Mrs. Oliver Ames. It may be necessary to grow the two side by side before arriving at a conclusion. As shown, the flower appeared to be of a brighter pink than Mrs. Oliver Ames; that was the first impression, yet later on, when the latter variety was put on exhibition, it was more pink than the other. In all probability this is merely another case of simultaneous sporting.

"The Crimson Rambler Rose and its Mission"
Mr. Jackson Dawson, of the Arnold Arboretum, has been very busy for some years now with the production of multiflora hybrid Roses. One or two of these (be it said to his credit that he has distributed only one or two good ones out of many hundreds) are distinctly meritorious and are destined to fill a particular niche in garden decoration in the future. He has given us in the Dawson a charming pink rambler and in the new Farquhar, not yet distributed, we have the Wichuraiana habit and rampant growth with flowers of rich rose color and large size.

"The Multiflora Rose"
We have frequently had occasion to speak of the very great decorative value of the multiflora Rose and its hybrids, and also to urge its still greater employment in garden effects. Those who have visited the Arnold Arboretum and have taken the opportunity to see the multiflora Roses there in their beauty and also the showy original plant of the Dawson Rose as it grows on a trellis near Mr. Dawson's house, will need no urging to appreciate the multiflora group of Roses.

A Flagrant Wrong.
But let us draw attention to an entirely different case, one that is so contemptibly mean as to deserve to be fully exposed. In the autumn of 1894, that distinguished rosarian, Dean Hole, of Rochester, England, paid a visit to our country, when it will be remembered, at the instance of John N. May and others, a complimentary dinner was tendered the venerable Dean in this city on Nov. 14. A very distinguished company gathered to honor the great rosarian, W. C. Barry, of Rochester, in the chair and among those present being the late Charles A. Dana, Andrew H. Green and Judge Adison Brown, a number of America's foremosttrade men being also present. As fortune would have it the beautiful Rose Caroline Testout had seen fit to produce a distinct sport which flowered in time for that auspicious occasion, John H. Taylor, Bayside, L.I., being the possessor. Naturally enough he brings the new arrival to the dinner where it was much admired and highly spokenof as a real, genuine American Rose. It must be "christened," of course, and what more fitting than its being named for the guest of the evening. The Dean having formally acceded to the expressed desire, Mr. Taylor is delighted and with much ceremony his Rose is satisfactorily christened Dean Hole, its sponsors being the company present. The press reports the following week announced all the foregoing and thus by publication, the name Dean Hole is inseparably connected with this delicate blush pink Rose, the sport from Caroline Testout which originated in America.
More Honors to Rose Dean Hole
In the October of the following year, Dean Hole flowers again and is publicly exhibited at an exhibition given in Madison Square Garden under the auspices of the American Institute. Competent judges examine it and declare it worthy of a certificate, due entry was made of this and again does the press make record of the name. Also in several foreign publications the name became duly registered. Mr. Taylor duly received and accepted the certificate. Many times after this the name has been seen in public print, and moreover in the following October (1897) a vase of Dean Hole was shown at a similar exhibition in the same place and under the same management when a medal was awarded the Rose Dean Hole which like the previously awarded certificate was accepted by Mr. Taylor.
Admiral Dewey vs. Dean Hole
One day in the month of May Admiral Dewey saw fit to exterminate a Spanish fleet in Manila Bay, and at once becomes the most famous man on this continent. An enterprising flower dealer has blooms of Dean Hole to sell, but concludes that the name is a poor one under the circumstances. A Hole is a good place to bury the Spanish, and as Dewey caused some funerals, he dubs the flower Admiral Dewey. This was an informal christening, or rather, baptism; just enough to give a name in case of sudden demise. This much christened individual is next seen in a Boston show, but not looking its best the judges awarded Admiral Dewey an Honorable Mention. This was hardly enough, in fact it was more like a wake than a christening, so the much named infant of three years was hauled up before the New York Florists' Club on Monday evening, November 14, to be again rechristened Admiral Dewey. Simultaneously with this award appears an announcement from the S.A.F. and O.H. that the new Rose Admiral Dewey has been duly registered. What then becomes of the name of Dean Hole. Is it to be supposed that it is on the market to be used by anyone so wishing, or will the principle of "once a synonym always a synonym" prevail. Let us hope that the brave sailor's floral honor will not be as evanescent as that of the priest, so that his name shall be smothered by a turn of the wheel of events.
In the meantime we wonder if our good friends Bailey and Waugh have been able to keep posted on thesenumerous christenings. The Lazy Club had better wake up, or else they will never be able to keep track of florists' nomenclature.
