Origin Of the Rose.

The new rose was originated just about a
year ago at Mrs. Hubbard,S suburban resi-
dence, known as Twin Oaks" just outside
of the city on the Woodley Lane road near
Admiral Dewey's summer home. For long
time florists from all sections Of the country
visited the city and interviewed Mr.. Bis
sert with the view of buying the rose, and
many tempting offers were made to secure
it, but 1t remained for Mr.. Kramer to
finally obtain the rare exotic and keep it
here in Washington by paying the almost
fabulous price of $4,000 for the prize.
At the last show Of the Washington
Florists Club, some time ago, Mr.. Kramer
was awarded a certificate of merit for his
Queen Beatrice rose, the first honor of it's
kind ever given by the club. Indeed the
new candidate for florist, as well public,
favor, with its rich and striking beauty,
prompted every member to consent to the
award.
Mr.. Kramer told The Star reporter that
he would use this year for the careful
propagation of the Queen Beatrice and
that the new bloomer will be offered about
the first of the next year. The Beatrice
was clearly the queen flower at the opening
last night and was the recipient of many
compliments by those who attended the
show

Thirty Thousand Dollar Rose.

Conspicuous among the exhibits is the
famous Queen Beatrice rose for which
Mr.. F.. H. Kramer, florist of this city,
who is one of the exhibitors at the show,
paid the sum of $4,000. 1t is believed by
many experts to be the finest rose ever
grown. 1t is a cross between The Lib
erty" and Madame Chatenay." both ny
brid tea roses. and is classed by Mr.. Kra-
mer a tea. Its color is a peculiar shade
of pink. with touch of crimson, when in
the bud. None of the beauty of Its rare
coloring is destroyed either in natural or
artificial light. Added to this is a delight
full fragrance believed by many lovers of
the rose to be fully equal, if not superior,
to that of the famous american Beauty.
Its habit, too. is something like the Amer
lean Beauty" as it grows on long. straight
and sturdy stems from two to three feet
| ong, and is well filled out with leaves up to
within six inches of the flower.
It is fine producer. To Star reporter
it was declared that it will produce four
blooms to one of THE Bridesmaids not
ed thrifty bloomer. 1t is also resistant to
insect and mildew attacks and capable of
forcing on the hot house bench. Mr.. Kra-
mer declared that the Queen Beatrice"
was originated right here in Washington
by Mr.. Peter Bssert, head gardener for
Mrs Gardiner G. Hubbard.

History of the american Beauty"

perhaps you would ike TO KNOW some
thing about the American Beauty" said
Mr.. Kramer. "It will illustrate in a way
how easily the commercial value of a rare
rose or other plant can get away from any
one who is making Horticulture his means
of livelihood 1t is stated that a Washing
ton gardener procured collection of fine
garden roses from abroad several years
ago. Among the lot was what we florists
term a mongrel. Who grew it in Europe
has never been ascertained, but the fact re-
mains that when planted by Mr.. Ready 1t
produced very large and fragrant flowers.
Another Washington florist saw it one
day and was attracted by its color and gen
eral striking appearance Just to satisfy
his fancy one afternoon he offered 50 for
a single rose bush. The owner was away
from home at the time, but his wife jumped
at the chance. as this was higher price
than they had ever obtained for single
plant. When the owner returned to the
garden and was informed by his wife what
she had done, he expressed the opinion
that she had really cheated her customer.
after many experiments the owner Of
the bush found that the plant yielded to
forcing and he finally realized all that could
be desired In a forcing rose: ne forth,
probably cleared $4,000 on the So transac
ton And thus it goes in the matter Of de-
veloping rare plants and fowers-fortunes
often lie within the pretty blooms of un-
pretentious plants.

to the Canadian port the local charter

Those aboard report the trip up most
pleasant and without unpleasant fea-

selves by gambling and one of the
white crew undertook to play banker
and do them out of some little money,
but the japanese ran in loaded dice

COLLEGE BELLE
Sorority Favorite in Chicago
Proves to Be a
Negress.

CHICAGO. July 21.-"Cissy'' John
son, sister of '.Mushmouth" Johnson,
the most notorious negro gambler in
America, queened it over the Univer-
sity of Chicago for three years. ac-
cording to g discovery just made by
the co-eds. She scattered smiling
largess to adn1iring women students
and dancing men of the Midway
school because her race was masked
with a peaches and cream conn
plexion. How she did 1t all will re-
main a mystery for future students
to wonder at. How she ruled as a
sorority head and favorite at Greek
letter functions behind her dual iden-
tity until her brunette beauty was
branded as that of a negress, will be
a closed chapter for her former club
sisters.
Cecilia johnson has fallen from her
high estate. Her sorority has been
disbanded and her friends have faded
away. for university students know
now of the struggle she made against
her Inheritance, aided by fair face
and social ambitions. None of her So
cial rivals suspected the cause of her
disappearance from the campus frolics
until today, when the subject was
preached at a student gathering.
The negro gamblers ambition to
make .sf1ne lady, of his little sister
is really the cause of the discovery,
for her friends became curious over
her many jewels and her luxurious
clothes. Suspicion was aroused and
Investigations started. Then one of
her sorority sisters who visited her
home CHANGED upon a collection of
negro photographs and the unmasking
followed.
