of proportion to the branch, and In, no
way is equal to Mrs. Edward Mawley.
Kaiserin Augusta Victoria issa good
rose, but is excelled by Mrs. David Nc
Kee and the newer rose of that class,
Molly Sharman- Crawford. Then the
newest rose Of this class, Mrs. Foley
| Hobbs, is fine rose and far superior
to either of the three mentioned. I am
sure It will prove to be the leading rose
of the above class, Of which the Kaiser
in Augusta Victoria was the first one
on the market, / have not been able
to get this new rose, Mrs. Foley Hobbs,
but it made a fine showing at the re-
cent London rose show.

Reid measure up to the expectations of
its grower, that gentlemanly rosarian,
F. G.. Hill Of Richmond. Ind But it
will not do it. Mr.. Reid has given to
the world three crimson hybrid tea roses
of merit; General Macarthur, Richmond
and Rhea Reid. His favorite, suspect,
is Rhea Reid. But I an sure that Gen

not fade quickly; is continuous bloom
er and very fragrant. it is not so Wig
orous a grower as Rhea Reid. but fully
vigorous enough for a general purpose
hybrid tea rose.
The remaining two articles Of this
special series will be given to the great
rose event of the world. the London
rose show. and the magnificent new and
old roses exhibited there. All the new
Seeding roses, those that received eth
er n gold or silver medal or not. will be
fully described and pictures of many
Of them printed. These two articles
will contain matter OF more interest
to the rosarian than usual and Will fur
nish a guide in buying the newer roses
as we'll as some OF the older ones. The
loss of some photographs, necessitating
the getting of new ones, will make it
| impossible to publish the articles before
early in October.
