R. N. Little, who raised the set of roses distributed last year as the Stanley set, will distribute this year several seedlings of merit: Winnie Davis, a seedling from Devoniensis, fertilized with Madame de Watteville, is a very full rose and a profuse bloomer. It is white, tinged on the outer petals with pink. Mr. Little showed me a hybrid tea (as yet unnamed), a cross between Souv. d'un Ami and American Beauty. It has a fine, long bud, and the delicate pink color of La France, and will doubtless prove a valuable acquisition. Mr. Little has also a rose-freak —a seedling from Reve d‘Or crossed naturally with the Cherokee. It is a double, light yellow rose, and very hardy, but resembles the Cherokee in bush, and in blooming at stated intervals. Among other roses originated by Mr. Little I may mention Souvenir de Beauvoir House, a violet-purple tea, very distinct; Mildred Lee, silvery rose, striped with carmine, and Flo Fields, pearly white, tinted with violet. Mr. Little‘s gardens are in the garden district of New Orleans. Some notes on his methods will be given next spring—LAWRENCE H. PUGH.
