When we consider the years OF waiting
the care and the anxiety from the time
a rose seed is planted until the bloom
appears, we can better understand the
boyish enthusiasm OF the rose grower
when describing HIS new rose. For ho
may have planted and cared for 5000,
covering a period OF hvc or six years OF
time. and this ono rose be the only dis
rnct result. And II that rose gets a
gold medal who cnn blame the grower
for seeing more good points in that rose
than anyone else on earth cun see?
Watch the sparkle of his eye IS he
points out the superior points OF his
iloral child, All! II is worth going many
miles just 10 hear rose enthusiast de,
scribe the eXceliencies OF his gold medal
queen.
The special tent for the Seeding roses
shown at the London Rose show Of 1910
was the hrst one ever used by tne Na-
tlonal Rose society. Heretofore the seed,
lings have been allotted space in one end
or one OF the big exhibition tents. TINS
year these floral children OF toi] and
promise had tent 10 themselves. NeHt
year / venture the prediction that this
tent will be three times as large. The
accompanying picture OF the crowd at
the entrance to the seedlings tent, which
could have been duplicated at any hour
between noon and o'clock In the even
ing. when the show closed, tells some
what OF the jam. I have no doubt that
hundreds failed 10 get even glimpse OF
the seeding roses.
