and in this Cape Cod renaissance gar
den there is one bed, the central fea-
ture Of which is the Gruss au Teplitz,
a bright scarlet crimson, notable not
only for it's profusion of large cup
shaped flowers, but for the beauty of
its foliage, which is of the same shade
as the earliest maple leaves in spring.
Here is the Killarney, with the delicate
La France, and the new Hon. Ina
Bingham, a rose with enormous petals
of the purest pink, deeply veined, which
has added a new color to the rose world.
In the bed of white roses may be found
the largest and finest of them all, the
Frau Karl Druschki, pure white, whose
blossoms here sometimes measure six
inches in diameter. If one seeks new
shades, the Irish engineer, an orange
red single, the yellow hybrid tea Mrs.
Peter Blair, and its companion the
Souvenir de Pierre Noting, apricot yell
low blended with copper color, are new
additions to the favorite soleil dor. In
| this class or perhaps in a class by it.

rose, Betty, a coppery rose color over

Killarney" as 1t has been described. If
one would seek the all-around summer
blooming white rose, for color, form
and style it will be difficult to excel
! the Marie Faive, hybrid polyanthus
which fills large part of this unique
garden. Or if, turning from roses, with
their bewildering variety, one would
rest his eyes a moment, he has but to
! turn to a deep-shaded corner of the
garden in which a bank of mountain
laurel is fanked by rhodendrons, some
Of which are still in bloom.
Coming out of this private garden
of Miss Fay's and turning back to
look at the entrance once more, the
eye is delighted with two superb pill
lars of Lady Gay climbing roses, on
which the flowers are so CLOSE that
the yalmost entirely conceal the fol-
iage. IA rose expert from Philadelphia
| declared that this was worth coming
from that city to see and to the tyro it
leaves a picture not to be forgotten.
In the main rose garden one is fore
ell to the conclusion that the coming
garden rose is the hybrid tea rose,
which is in most instances destined to
take the place of the hybrid perpetual
rose. Cultivators of roses have devot-
ed themselves so assiduously within the
last five years that a new race OF gar
den roses has been developed. New va
rieties appear everyyear at Woods Hole
the result of crossing the hybrid per-
petual rose and the tea rose, creating
a rose which has the hardy qualities of
ths former and the free blooming quail
tiles of the latter. Some varieties need
little more protection than the old
hybrid perpetual but even when this
is not necessary the increased protec-
ton repays To-day any color can be
supplied, from pure white flesh, cream,
cream pink, crimson, salmon and yell

The name of Woods Hole has become
known in remote quarters of the world
by the production on this estate of new
varieties of climbing roses through the
process Of cross fertilization. A few
years ago the Massachusetts, Horticul
tural Society gave a gold medal for a
new rambler rose which had received
the name Of Hiawatha. 1t was produce
ed by fertilzing the common Crimson
Rambler with pollen from a large per-
petual rose. The form of the flower re-
manned but the plant bore more bios
SONS and these had new and distnc-
tive color Not only this, but the bios
soming season was heightened. In fact
a new race Of climbing roses had also
been created. After the first blooming

The London horticultural paper, Coun-
| try Life, in speaking of the recent
Temple rose exhibition, said that the
sensation Of the exhibition this year,
as it was last, was the display of Hi
awatha and Lady Gay roses, an Amer
lean importation from Woods Hole,
Mss. Yet every season experiments
bring out new varieties. The Minneha-
ha, a double satin pink Towering ram
bier, is one which has received numer-
Gus medals. This year four new ram

| Delight, bright carmine, with yell
low center and Paradise, with white
and pink single flowers. The Wedding
Bells, another variety, is known as
earlier than the Crimson Rambler, as
well as later, and on the side Of the
Fay greenhouse hang great trusses of
these beautiful pink blossoms, which
have brought to its originator medals
and prizes from more than one horti-
cultural society
Fascinating as is the production of
now varieties of roses, however, it is
not all sunshine. One must fight con-
stantly with insect foes, and in a sim
