"Mrs. Pleas on Raising Seedling Peonies"
...Kelway's single white, The Queen, was our only plant bearing seeds, blooming before any other kind was open; it was not hybridized, yet from this one planting I have every color and shade from White Swan to Black Beauty. [...]
From this one planting of single white seeds came Elwood Pleas, Midsummer Night's Dream, Gem, Mary, Quaker Lady, Shabona, Mad. Pleas, Walter Morgan, Golden Wedding, Nellie Pleas, Gypsy Queen, Laura E. Pleas, and Rosy Dawn in doubles; and in singles, White Swan, Wild Rose, Golden Cushion, Pocahantas; among the Japanese, Dr. Edgar Pleas, Novelty, Altar Candles, and Golden Nugget represent the best. [...]

American Pillar Rose. This splendid single climber is winning international favor. It is spoken of in the foreign press as one of the best of all climbing Roses and leads the correspondent in a recent number of the (English) Gardeners' Chronicle to speak of it as an interesting straight hybrid between two species, it may be well to note what Dr. W. Van Fleet, now with the United States Department of Agriculture and who originated this Rose, in his experimental gardens at Little Silver, N. J., says in a recent letter to me, as to its origin: "The American Pillar Rose was raised by me in 1898 from seed of a Wichuraiana-setigera cross pollinated with a bright red Remontant Rose seedling, that had a touch of Polyantha or rather Rosa multiflora in its make-up. It thus contains the blood of four Rose species, but I regard it as essentially a Wichuraiana-setigera hybrid. This variety appears to succeed under very diverse conditions." - L. B.

"New Roses for the Garden" by Charles E. F. Gersdorff
Climbing Roses of outstanding merit known to me are all of American origin [...] Dr. Van Fleet is also responsible for the Rose Aunt Harriet (Hybrid Wichuraiana) -- but not for the name -- it was distributed in 1918. In full bloom it is magnificent, covered with masses of dazzling scarlet-crimson, semi-double blooms having white centres and golden stamens.

Mr. Pernet also received a certificate for “Benedicte Seguin.” The bud of this is almost scarlet but the developed flowers are pale tan and fawn. This is a very distinct type and undoubtedly will make a much better showing another season.

Climbing Roses of outstanding merit known to me are all of American origin [...] In Mary Lovett (Hybrid Wichuraiana, Van Fleet, 1915) we have a variety of vigorous growth, freely producing double cupped blooms of large size, with fine fragrance, pure waxy white. Bess Lovett (Van Fleet, 1917) is a counterpart of Mary Lovett except in its color which is a clear, bright rosy red.

A new line of Roses developed and described by Captain George C. Thomas, Jr. in the "American Rose Annual" for 1920 must be mentioned although I have not had opportunity for any personal observation of these varieties. However, the fact that they have been admired by others and have passed successfully the rigid tests conducted at the Rose Test Garden, Portland, Oregon, and have been produced by an amateur whose standard of excellence is very high and whose ability in judging the merits of Roses is well known, leads me to believe that one would not go far wrong in acquiring these varieties. I have in mind the following: [...] Bloomfield Abundance, an everblooming semi-climber, salmon pink and double, flowers constantly from June to heavy frost [...] All four were sent out in 1920 by Bobbink & Atkins.
