An old Pennsylvanian himself, our good friend Dr. Hiram DePuy, of Tacoma, Wash., tells of this jolly meeting with a party of Pennsylvania tourists in the shadow of Mt. Rainer: "Last Sunday morning I met, by appointment, a party of sixty tourists from Schuylkill Country, Pennsylvania, at the railroad station, just before entraining for Mt. Rainer. I gave them, with my compliments, 200 yellow 'Honeymoon' roses, cut at 5 a.m. and still dewy, together with bunches of French lavender dressed with Baby's Breath (Gypsophila) for each lady in the party.

J. Horace McFarland. New American Roses for 1922.
Frank A. Chervenka, who works in the Rose region of the Pacific North-West at Sumner, Washington, announces 'Honeymoon', with parentage of 'Ophelia' and 'Sunburst', which he hopes is the long sought definite yellow Rose for America, the lovely sorts which do well in England usually fading to an inconspicuous white under our American sun. Mr. Chervenka describes 'Honeymoon' as being of "clear chrome yellow with no variations as noticed in all the blooms from 300 plants."
