The New Blue Rose, VeiIchenbIau,
and Roses Generally.
Rose gardening is lent new 2est
by the recent addition of that rare
elimination of long and scientific ef-
fort, the blue rose" Through the
alchemy OF the patient and expert
hybridiZer, this rare creation, long
deemed an impossibility, comes as an
added treasure to those who find
much happiness among their roses, 1t
comes endorsed by our leading for
lists, who in recent aSsemblage de-
cided that at last we have a rose
worthy Of being called blue; violet
blue. its pretty name, as Veilchenblau
indicates. It's European introducerS
describe it: Blue flowers, appearing
In large clusters, Semi-double, medium
size. Has snowy, yellow stamcns,
and with the blue flowers it is par-'
ticularly attractive. Very strong
grower, glossy, green foliage and few
prickly thorns." An enthusiastic
florist thus describes 1t: "In Veilchen-
blau we have an improved and glorl-
fled free-llowering Rambler, a seed
ling from tho famous Crimson Ram
bier. The flowers are ylolet-blue in
color; perpetual scorce OF wonder;
standing out in graceful form In largo
clusters, individual flowers measuring
from one and one-half to two inches
across, This new rose is perfectly
hardy, the growth vigorous. and with
its beautiful foliage is well entitled
to the honor OF the title, Queen OF all
Roses" A new rose, blooming in a
color hitherto unknown In the vast
rose family, and with the hardness
and rampant growth OF the ramblers,
is truly an acquisition. and florists
are anticipating Its combination with
the red and the white ramblers in
national color effects.
Heretofore the crimson rambler has
led in its class, the most popular of
all roses, both In point of vigor and
rampant growth, A strong, healthy
plant will send up shoots from ten TO
twenty feet In height in a single sea-
son, easily climbing the second story
and over-arching its windows when
planted In a rich deep loan with an
eastern or southeastern exposure. /

OF course, the advantages Of a veg

in the second place, one gets cheap

After these should come those that
remain for one season. as, for in

AT the other end you should have
crops that are rotated throughout the
season.
Buying your seeds Is very i'm

you should buy the best and from the
most reliable dealers. 1t Is almost
hopeless to judge from catalogues, be-
cause of the contradictory descrip-
tions, and your selections should, as
far as possible, be made personally.
