Horticultural Notes.
Mr. Alister Clark's ability to produce roses at any season of the year from his beautiful garden at Glenara, Bulla, Victoria, is a continual surprise. At the Canterbury show, held last week, be presented a display of roses, covering a 6ft. table, and including some choice blooms of varieties raised at Glenara.The most beautiful bunch was Amy Johnston [sic], the pink rose which he named in honour of Miss Amy Johnston, the aviator. The blooms were as fully developed and well grown as if the rose season were in full growth.
