Black Roses and violets.

There are 200 specimens of roses in
existence. through perhaps not more
than so cleraly defined families. OF
these families only two are of Ameri
can birth. There are thousands Of
varieties, however, and OF these our
enterprising rose-growers have con
tributed by far the largest proportion
The eagerly sought black rose is still
unproduced. though New York for
list has n dark.red one, which in some
lights has the appearance of black
velvet.
Violet-growing in this country has
encountered numerous obstacles, the
chief Of which is that the sweet VIC
let Is not native OF America at all
and must be carefully cultivated ani
closely watched to make 1t bloom sue
cessfully. violets are the least pro
life OF all the flowers and less amena'
BILE to change. There are not more
than 200 varieties OF violets in the
world, and the district families can
be counted on the fingers of one hand
Their home is Europe and Asia.
