ROSE GARDENS OF LYON VARIED

dinand Jamin, a French rose, but de-
Veloped in America and reChristened
there. This rose loses much of its ac-
quired richness and size when set out
on the land in Lyon. The common ram
bier. on the other hand, luxuriates on
every trellis and pillar. The standard
varieties flourish in this climate, so that
nearly all of the best roses Of other
countries besides the Lyonnaise crea-
tions are grown by local nurserymen.
Those whose sole occupation is to grow
roses on a large scale for profit have
been known here to bring out many new
varieties In year. The resulting roses,
if not like the mother flower, may be
dtminutive in size and enlarged by graft
ing. but much of the work Is expert
mental, and most of the new varieties
are not found to be sufficiently interest
ing to perpetuate, so that in the end
only few choice ones. of marked indi-
viduality, are definitely named and pre-
sented to the public through the cata-
logues. Some of the finest roses ever
known have been created within sight
Of the towers of this ancient city.
Rewards Well Worth Effort.
1t is a frequent occupation for persons
of this vicinity to devote considerable
time TO rose growing for pleasure. often
with the hope OF producing a new rose
that may be novel in form, color, scent
or size. On very small plots of ground
attached to their dwellings local anna
teurs have managed to bring out remark
able specimens. Some of the varieties
may be recognized from the allusion to
their place Of origin in their names, such
as Beauty of Lyon, Lyon Rose. Belle
Lyonnaise. Coquette of Lyon. Star of
Lyon, Pearl of Lyon, Lyonnaise Beauty,
Gloire Lyonnaise, Lyonnais, and Marvel
of Lyon.
That it often takes a vast deal of pa
tient study TO develop a new rose. wheth-
er by professional rosarians or by per-
sons who cultivate roses as an avoca-
ton, may be gathered from the fact
that years may elapse before the final
bloom grown from seed is perfected and
made ready for the trade through propa-
cation by cuttings or otherwise. When
success does come-and it comes often
enough to make the effort worth the
while of the rose growers of LyOn-the
reward is ample. During the present
season an entire stock of 1000 plants
Of a new rose of a rare coral tint was
sold out as soon as offered

Many Kinds Thrive Near City.
Light Soil, Abundance of
Sunshine, and a Proper
Amount of Moisture Make
Conditions Perfect.

TIL famous rose gardens of Lyon owe
their excellence largely to a light soil,
an abundance of sunshine, and the
proper amount of moisture, writes Con-
sui Carl Bailey Hurst, at Lyon, France.
From time immemoriaI local rosarians
have taken advantage of the favOring
conditions until skill and interest in the
industry have made the roses of the
Rhone Valley known throughout the
parks and gardens of the world.
The ground where the roses are chiefly
cultivated is on the outskirts of the city
1t is fiat, devoid of shade trees, and pro-
tected only by high walls at the confines
OF the property. The rose plants are set
out for commercial purposes in straight
rows, sometimes 100 feet long. the smaller
plants six inches apart with about ten
inches between rows. while the larger
grated or budded varieties are inserted
ten to twelve inches apart with eighteen
Inches between rows.
Nearly all of the plants are out of
doors The greenhouses for a rose gar
den Of fifteen acres do not number more
than two, averaging thirty feet in
length. 1t is only in exceptional winters
that the plants have to be covered. Some
times the tops Of the older plants are
rather loosely bound in straw. In every
large commercial rose garden of Lyon
hundreds Of eglantine rose plants are
kept to single stalk lor grating. These
are usually gathered by peasants in the
woods or on uncultivated land and sold
to the rose growers.
Roses of Many Kinds Thrive.
Roses grown in the aIluvial plain near
Lyon thrive often even more luxuriantly
when transplanted in heavier soil, but
roses taken from such heavier earth,
where they may have been grown ex-
clusively, occasionally retrograde when
set out here. An instance may be cited
