and contented himself with assuring
Judge Hagner that things would have
been different If he had had any say
in them.
From this time on, however, the his
tory of John Brady and his precious
rose begins to take somber turn. Mr..
Bancroft died in 1891, bequeathing the
American Beauty to Brady as a tesla
ment Of his affection and appreciation.
The famous gardens passed into other
hands. and Brady moved, with his
large and hungry family and his
handful Of American Beauty rose
bushes. into little house outside of
Washington.
Things went rapidly from bad to
worse. Brady had neither money
nor the knack Of picking up odd jobs.

responsibility, and the ages Of the

ished punctually by year. His wife
was frail, out of patience with power

undoing his resolve.

But some prescience of the inherent
value of his rose kept Brady obdurate
TO appeals, domestic or professional.
The world of fashion had all but
forgotten the interregnum OF the
American Beauty in the Bancroft gar
dens. Rose culturists had thought,
many Of them. that 1t had never out
lived its heyday. Only a few Of the
more observant had remembered that
the treasured bushes had been lega-

on the eve of being able to announce
the success OF his red rose ventures.
Once friend from France brought
Mr.. Bancroft cutting of red rose
called Madame Ferdinand Jemain, :

an American climate. Brady nursed

tiousness. none too pleased. likely
enough. that France had been so pre-
mature in this honorable business
But the little alien rose bush sickened
and died. and was thrown aside, pre-
sumabiy at the end of It's 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
lys 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. delighted yell from his
gardener brought Mr.. Bancroft sour
rying into his garden. to find that in
q bed of white and yellow seedlings
there stood q strange red rose, look
ing for all the world as II it had come
to stay. It's stem had stiffness the
like of which had never before been
seen. Its petals looked to haye the
hardwood to weather hundred dis
asters.
Where it had come from nobody
could find out. It might have been a
stalwart seed left from the scored
and discredited Mime. Ferdinand Je-
main" and 1t might have been JUST
that mysterious freak which the rose
culturist has come to take for granted
under the name of sport"
At any rate. there it was, and it re-
manned to be developed.
For 1t must be known at the outset
that getting a single bloom is the least
of the rose culturist's troubles. In fact.
|! it merely marks their beginning.

So John Brady set forth ON the up

sport" In due timelhe did it. And
when he had three bushes which he
could personally guarantee to repro

where they would likeliest be seen.
He had not to wait for the clamor OF

It was on one OF these foriOrn Occa-
sions that Mrs. Brady's patience snap
ped and her loyalty faltered. she
seized the pampered rose bushes,
made haste to Field Brothers. and
sold them, one and all, for scarcely
more than the price Of q single meal.
When this was told to Brady. he
touched the hour of his supreme tribu-
lation. His world fell away from be-
meath his feet. Not once in the 10
years since then has the stupor which
came upon him lifted for long enough
for realization of his misery to sift
through.
Matters went merrily with the rose
he made. Field Brothers. by skillful
advertising, were able to sell their ex-
elusive right to it's reproduction for
$4,000. Within year ten times that
amount was being paid for It by en-
