on the eve of being able to announce
the success OF his red rose ventures.
Once a friend from France brought
Mr.. Bancroft cutting of a red rose
called Madame Ferdinand Jemain,"
which, although it had failed at home.
was thought to have possibilities in
an American climate. Brady nursed
1t along with a fair degree of conscien-
tiousness, none too pleased. likely
enough that France had been SO pre-
mature in this honorable business.
and died. and was thrown aside. pre-
sumably at the end of its history.
Then came the shocking news from
England that William Francis Ben
nett had won the red rose race. He
had had an astonishing luck with his
plants, and had finally established
their hardihood and their permanence
of color. Bancroft and Brady mourn
ed in secret. True, there was still the
American championship to be tried
for. but the first fine careless rapture
of success had been already captured.
A rose culturist In New York had
the good fortune, about this time, to
make new flower, which he prompt
ly named the George Bancroft" but
this was not compensation enough.
either for the historian or his garden
er. So back they went to the seeding
beds, with renewed determination
In the face of such a touching faith.
and such Astounding energy. the fates
were bound to be kind. And so, one
morning, a delighted yell from his
gardener brought Mr.. Bancroft sour
rying into his garden, to find that In
bed of white and yellow seedlings
there stood strange red rose, look
ing for all the world as If it had come
to stay. It's stem had a stiffness the
like of which had never before been
seen. Its petals looked to have the
hardihooi to weather a hundred dis
asters.
Where it had come from nobody
could find out 1t might have been a
stalwart seed left from the scored
and discredited Mime. Ferdinand Je-
main," and it might have been just
that mysterious freak which the rose
culturist has come to take for granted
under the name of a sport"
AT any rate, there it was, and it re-
manned to be developed.
For it must be known at the outset
that getting single bloom is the least
of the rose culturist's troubles. In fact,
it merely marks their beginning.
/ All new brands of roses are grown
from these curiosities called sports. =
In bed of seedlings. about once in SO
often. an orphan rose will appear
which will bear no trace of it's parent
age. and will usually be found to have
neither longevity nor the ability to
reproduce after its kind Its seeds will
revert to type.
So John Brady set forth on the up-
hill climb to perfecting his little red
sport" In due time he did it. And
when he had three bushes which he
could personally guarantee to repro
duce red roses after the original pat
tern he placed them in the garden
where they would rkeliest be seen.
He had not to wait for the clamor of
approval. Guests for tea in the after
noon were led into the garden BY Mr..
