Rose Valued at $4,000.

A new rose of exceptional beauty
was originated by Washington
gardener, and retained there because
Washington florists outbid their ri
walls, and new and beautiful fern
constituted the main attraction of
the flower and chrysanthemum show,
which formed feature of the
monthly meeting of the Washington
Florists Club, held recently.
The new Queen Beatrice rose is
a peculiar shade of pink, which has
the unusual quality of showing up
well in any light. 1t was originated
by Peter Bissett, gardener to Mrs.
Gardiner Hubbard, at her country
seat at Twin Oaks. Florists all over
the United States were anxious to
own this plant, but e. ii. Kramer, of
Washington, has bought it and values
it at $4,000.
The club has awarded to the new
Queen Beatrice rose n certificate of
merit, the first of the kind ever given
by the club. The new flower is so
striking and beautiful that all con-
sented to the award.
The new fern was obtained from
the tropics by plant breeders at Scar
borough-on-the- Hudson. The scien-
titic name for it is "Neophroiess
Bowersii," and it is one of the most
attractive and snowy members of
the fern family.
