INTRODUCTION  TO  

1925  ROSE  CATALOGUE 


iiiiiiiui|filiiiiiiii:iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiviiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiin:i 


IN  the  leading  Rose  growing  centres  of  the  world  there  has  been  an  agita- 
tion for  some  time  to  raise  the  standard  of  plant  catalogues,  so  that  much 
of  the  failure  and  disappointment  caused  by  planting  unsuitable  varieties 
may  he  avoided.  It  is  obvious  that  if  the  growing  of  Roses  is  to  he 
piaced  on  a higher  plane,  each  planter  must  have  the  best  sorts  for 
his  particular  climate,  and  the  colours,  shapes,  and  other  peculiarities  of  the 
varieties  must  also  appeal  to  his  taste.  No  matter  how  well  a single  rose  may 
grow,  bloom,  and  last,  it  is  quite  out  of  place  in  the  garden  of  a grower  wLo 
thoroughly  detests  anything  but  a double  bloom.  Similarly  what  may  he 
a light  yellow  in  a cloudy  climate  is  generally  white  in  a land  of  continuous 
sunshine.  As  many  people  dislike  white  flowers  it  is  foolish  for  a tradesman 
to  allow  his  client  (for  want  of  a little  explanation)  to  plant  sorts  which 
later  on  must  be  scrapped  as  unsuited  to  his  tastes.  The  question  has  been 
so  complex  that  Nurserymen  have  in  the  past  shirked  their  responsibility 
and  allowed  customers  to  purchase  their  own  experience,  but  in  the  process 
many  a promising  enthusiast  has  been  lost  to  the  art,  and  many  a Nursery- 
man’s reputation  for  straightforwardness  sadly  clouded. 

Believing  that  there  was  a solution  for  the  problem  we  commenced 
three  years  ago  to  revise  all  descriptions,  which  were  mostly  written  for 
English  climates,  and  adapted  them  to  local  conditions.  This  was  followed 
up  by  recommendations  for  particular  climates,  and  where  a variety  was 
known  to  be  a failure  it  was  mentioned  for  the  benefit  of  beginners.  The 
measure  of  success  won  by  this  scheme  must  be  judged  by  the  hundreds  of 
approving  letters  from  nearly  all  parts  of  the  rose  growing  world.  Better 
still  is  the  almost  daily  receipt  of  advice  from  some  grower  relating  the 
behaviour  of  roses  under  his  care.  These  successes  and  failures  are  indexed 
under  each  variety,  and  are  used  to  improve  each  year’s  publication.  This 
spontaneous  spirit  of  co-operation  is  most  gratifying,  and  one  hardly  dares 
to  limit  the  possibilities  of  this  good  will.  On  our  part,  regular  trips  are 
made  to  the  leading  interstate  rose  centres,  and  by  correspondence  and  litera- 
ture every  effort  is  made  to  keep  up  to  date  in  all  rose  matters. 

Our  thanks  are  again  due  to  Capt.  G.  C.  Thomas,  Jnr.,  for  the  invaluable 
information  contained  in  his  book  on  “Roses  for  all  American  Climates.” 
To  the  officers  of  the  Commonwealth  Weather  Bureau,  Sydney,  we  are  in- 
debted for  a revision  of  the  Climatological  map;  to  Mr.  W.  H.  Ifould,  for 
the  invaluable  article  on  “Pruning  Roses,”  and  to  the  National  Rose  Society 
of  N.S.W.,  and  Mr.  J.  Horace  McFarland,  the  Editor  of  the  American  Rose 
Annual,  for  permission  to  reprint  the  article  on  “The  Conquest  of  Mildew,” 
and  to  the  very  many  friends  in  all  countries  who  have  sent  reports,  we  extend 
our  appreciation  and  thanks. 

ORDER  OF  PREFERENCE.— Throughout  1924  a careful  tally  was  kept 
of  all  varieties  sold,  and  we  have  listed  them  in  the  order  of  preference, 
decided  by  buyers  from  all  the  States.  In  explanation  we  wish  to  point  out 
that  each  plant  ordered  this  season  is  counted  as  a vote  for  that  variety  to 
determine  its  place  in  next  year’s  Catalogue.  This  method  may  not  find 
general  approval  as  an  alphabetical  list  makes  it  easier  to  find  a given  sort. 
In  the  new  method,  however,  it  brings  all  the  very  best  varieties  into  a 
prominent  position,  and  selection,  particularly  for  a beginner,  is  made  much 
easier.  Frequently  we  have  handled  orders  made  out  for  commencing  a 
rose  garden,  and  a list  numbering  50  odd  plants  had  been  selected,  which  did 
not  get  beyond  the  first  four  letters  of  the  alphabet.  Success  under  these 
conditions  is  most  remote.  There  is  an  added  interest  in  the  position  a 


2 


HAZLEWOOD  BROS. 


variety  occupies  in  each  year’s  sales;  also  there  is  something  suspicious 
when  growers  universally  begin  to  drop  a variety,  thus  forcing  it  to  the  end 
of  the  list  whence  it  may  be  easily  discarded.  The  index  simplifies  the 
finding  of  any  one  sort,  so  that  the  objection  to  our  method  is  outweighed 
by  its  advantages. 

STOCK  for  1925. — Our  stock  of  roses  for  sale  is  easily  the  largest  in  New 
South  Wales,  and  exceeds  100,000  plants.  They  have  ail  been  grown  on  com- 
paratively new  land  and  are  remarkably  free  from  the  diseases  inseparable  from 
old  nurseries.  They  are  worked  from  stock  plants  of  proved  vigour  and  free- 
dom of  bloom,  and  no  expense  is  spared  to  ensure  the  highest  grade  of  plant 
possible.  Our  Nursery  is  absolutely  free  from  the  dreaded  disease  known  as 
“Die  Back”  which  is  attacking  many  plants  in  some  of  the  States.  (This 
must  not  be  confused  with  the  dying  back  of  Pernetiana  Roses,  which  is 
quite  a different  matter.) 

OUR  PRICES. — We  do  not  seek  a reputation  for  cheapness,  which  is  con- 
sidered by  many  people  the  only  point  worthy  of  notice  when  purchasing 
plants.  We  do  know  that  our  plants  are  as  clean  and  free  from  root  and  leaf 
disease  as  it  is  possible  to  get  them,  and  our  business  has  been  built  up  in 
fifteen  years  by  continuous  striving  to  improve  quality  at  a fair  remunera- 
tion. 

VARIETIES. — No  expense  is  spared  in  procuring  the  latest  Novelties 
from  all  parts  of  the  world,  but  with  upwards  of  100  sorts  added  each  year 
it  is  patent  there  must  be  some  reduction  of  varieties  in  the  interests  of  both 
grower  and  planter.  Every  superfluous  variety  not  only  increases  the  cost  of 
production  of  each  plant  (and  the  selling  price),  but  also  the  difficulty  of  the 
grower  in  deciding  what  to  plant.  It  is  our  intention  each  year  to  limit  the 
ordinary  list  to  200  of  the  most  favoured  varieties  and  50  in  the  climbing  sec- 
tion. This  will  allow  ample  scope  for  even  the  largest  gardens.  Where  large 
numbers  of  plants  are  required  it  is  much  more  satisfactory  to  plant  say,  100 
roses  in  ten  or  twenty  sorts,  and  five  or  ten  of  each  kind,  than  to  waste  good 
ground  and  valuable  time  trying  to  make  the  tail  end  of  100  separate  varieties 
the  success  such  expenditure  should  receive. 

The  collection  of  varieties  is  strongly  deprecated  as  it  is  quite  impossible 
to  secure  all  of  the  sorts  which  have  been  sent  out  and  equally  impossible  to 
grow  them  in  one  garden,  or  climate.  Too  often  growers  boast  of  the  number 
of  varieties  they  have  in  their  gardens,  but  it  would  be  more  sensible  were  the 
gardener  to  state  that  in  his  garden  of  one  hundred  plants  he  had  thirty  var- 
ieties which  had  produced  in  a season  upwards  of  six  thousand  quality  blooms. 
This  can  be  done  by  planting  only  the  very  best  varieties. 

DESCRIPTIONS. — It  is  our  endeavour  to  describe  each  rose  impartially 
on  its  behaviour  in  the  various  Australian  climates.  To  prevent  needless 
repetition,  it  must  be  understood  that  almost  every  rose  is  under  certain  con- 
ditions, more  or  less  liable  to  Mildew  and  Black  Spot.  The  colours  of  the 
roses  also  are  described  at  their  best,  but  it  must  be  remembered  that  nearly 
all  colours  will  fade  in  strong  sunlight  and  a rose  should  not  be  condemned 
on  its  first  flowering.  Yellows  frequently  are  white,  while  reds  often  come 
pink.  In  many  instances  the  term  “Mildew  Proof”  is  used,  and  this  must  be 
taken  in  a general  sense.  On  rare  occasions  even  the  most  resistant  varieties 
show  traces  of  this  disease  on  young  foliage.  There  are  a few  favoured  places 
in  which  mildew  does  not  exist.  These  are  exceptions,  and  growers  blessed 
with  these  conditions  will  be  able  to  make  the  necessary  allowance  in  regard  to 
descriptions. 

One  of  the  common  causes  of  dissatisfaction  is  the  question  of  single 
and  double  roses.  A very  large  number  of  growers  prefer  the  full-bodied 
bloom,  and  have  the  greatest  antipathy  to  the  loose,  decorative  class,  which, 
however,  is  finding  an  ever-increasing  number  of  admirers.  In  order  that  no 


3 


Rose  and  Tree  Specialists,  Epping,  N.S.W. 


customer  may  experience  disappointment,  we  are  re-casting  all  rose  descrip- 
tions on  the  following  basis.  Roses  described  as  single  are  those  having  four, 
five  or  six  petals;  semi-single  covers  those  blooms  producing  six  to  ten 
petals;  semi-double  eleven  to  twenty-five  petals;  and  double  from  twenty- 
six  upwards.  It  should  be  explained  that  the  number  of  petals  in  a bloom 
frequently  varies  according  to  climate  and  forcing  conditions.  Our  records 
are  from  unforced  blooms,  so  that  growers  may  make  their  own  allowances 
for  their  particular  districts. 

OUR  SLOGAN. — Three  years  ago  we  adopted 
as  our  slogan — 

“Grow  the  Best, 

Discard  the  Rest,” 

and  have  pleasue  in  advisin"  that  this  has  been 
registered  by  the  Commonwealth  Registrar  of  Trade 
Marks  in  the  following  form: — 

In  order  that  our  customers  may  accomplish  this  we  tender  the  following 
services  to  prospective  planters: — 

(a)  An  unbiased  criticism  on  any  variety  submitted; 

( b ) On  receipt  of  a list  of  the  varieties  already  planted  recommendations 
will  be  made  showing  how  the  list  may  be  improved  for  a particular  climate; 

(c)  And  a regular  and  drastic  scrutiny  will  be  made  of  the  varieties 
imported  each  year  so  that  only  the  best  may  survive.  It  will  be  necessary 
for  customers  making  use  of  these  services  to  state  fully,  when  communi- 
cating with  us,  all  particulars  regarding  soil,  climate,  colours  preferred,  and 
tastes  regarding  single,  semi-double  or  double  classes  of  bloom,  so  that  there 
will  be  no  difficulty  in  the  way  of  their  receiving  the  best  possible  advice.  No 
trouble  will  be  spared  to  ensure  that  our  customers  have  the  opportunity  of 
growing  the  very  best  varieties  as  it  is  only  by  their  success  in  this  way  that 
the  culture  of  the  rose  will  be  advanced. 

ORDERS. — It  is  particularly  requested  that  when  ordering  names  be 
written  on  a separate  sheet  of  paper,  together  with  the  address,  both  being 
clearly  stated,  as  it  is  not  uncommon  to  receive  letters  without  any  indication  as 
to  whom  they  come  from.  Write  on  one  side  of  the  paper  only  and  place  the 
names  of  varieties  in  columns.  It  is  also  advisable  to  state  in  your  letter  the 
amount  of  and  the  form  in  which  remittances  are  made. 

ACCOUNTS.— All  accounts  are  due  within  one  month  of  date  of  state- 
ment. New  customers  are  requested  to  remit  when  ordering  or  give  a satis- 
factory reference. 

CATALOGUES. — Each  customer  and  correspondent  in  the  two  preceding 
years  will  have  a catalogue  posted  to  their  address  as  soon  as  the  publication 
is  ready,  but,  owing  to  the  popularity  this  book  has  attained,  it  is  found  that 
many  of  them  do  not  reach  their  destination.  We  ask  our  friends  to  make  it 
as  widely  known  as  possible  that  failure  to  receive  the  book  does  not  neces- 
sarily mean  indifference  or  in-attention  on  our  part. 

REMITTANCES. — These  may  be  made  by  Money  Order,  Postal  Note 
(both  payable  at  Epping,  N.S.W. ),  or  Cheque.  Country  and  Interstate  custo- 
mers are  requested  to  add  exchange  to  cheques. 

THE  NURSERY.— (The  entrance  to  which  is  situated  half  a mile  from 
Epping  Railway  Station)  is  open  for  inspection  during  business  hours. 

For  those  coming  by  car  and  residents  of  West  Epping  the  nearest  ap- 
proach is  by  way  of  Kent  Street.

For  visitors  coming  by  train  the  following  directions  are  submitted: — | 
On  reaching  the  top  of  the  railway  steps  before  turning,  the  visitor  is  looking 
north  and  can  see  a small  portion  of  the  Nursery,  slightly  to  the  left.  Take 
the  road  on  the  left  side  of  the  railway  line,  as  far  as  the  horr.e  trough,  then 
turn  to  the  left  along  Carlingford  Road;  Cliff  Road  is  then  the  second  turn 
to  the  right,  after  passing  the  turn  in  this  road  our  notice  board  comes  into 
view;  the  main  Nursery  is  behind  the  block  of  bush  trees. 

The  Nursery  is  closed  on  Sundays. 

CORRESPONDENCE  is  invited  on  all  questions  of  rose  interest,  and 
friends  are  specially  asked  to  correct  any  mistake,  or  comment  on  any  rose’s 
adaptability  to  special  conditions. 

CONDITIONS  OF  SALE. — We  believe  that  all  trees  and  plants  sold  by 
us  are  of  the  description  and  kind  specified  at  the  time  of  sale.  Where  reason- 
able proof  is  given  that  plants  have  been  wrongly  labelled  we  will  refund  the 
original  purchase  money  or  correct  the  mistake  by  new  plants;  but  we  give 
no  warranty,  express  or  implied,  as  to  their  growth,  description,  quality  or 
productiveness,  and  will  not  be  in  any  way  responsible  for  the  crop,  as  these 
factors  are  governed  by  forces  beyond  our  control. 

All  sales  are  made  subject  to  these  conditions,  and  if  the  purchaser  does 
not  accept  the  goods  sold  on  these  terms  they  are  at  once  to  be  returned.

Climatological  Map  of  Australia 

Owing  to  the  many  failures,  caused  by  planting  unsuitable  varieties,  it 
has  been  thought  advisable  to  indicate  in  a very  broad  way  those  districts  of 
Australia  which  show  similar  conditions  of  climate,  in  so  far  as  they  concern 
the  growth  of  Roses  and  other  plants,  so  that  if  any  given  plant  is  successful 
in  one  place  there  should  be  no  climatic  bar  to  its  success  in  other  places 
where  climatic  conditions  are  equal. 

As  most  of  the  horticultural  energies  centre  round  the  capital  cities,  the 
divisions  have  been  named  after  them,  and  they  show  such  marked  differences 
as  to  account  for  most  of  the  important  variations  present. 

It  must  be  emphasised,  however,  that  the  divisions  are  approximate 
only,  for  it  is  quite  impossible  to  indicate  on  any  map  the  enormous  number 
of  purely  local  conditions  caused  by  any  one  town’s  peculiar  position  and 
surroundings;  also  the  very  important  question  of  soil  variations,  and  getting 
closer  to  home,  the  individual  variations  to  be  found  in  each  garden  according 
as  the  beds  round  a house  face  North  South,  East  or  West.  In  this  respect 
is  is  quite  possible  for  a Sydney  grower,  for  example,  to  select  positions  in 
his  garden  which  more  closely  represent  the  conditions  of  Adelaide,  Hobart, 
or  Melbourne,  than  the  average  Sydney  climate.  The  determination  and 
treatment  of  these  variations  must  be  left  to  the  wisdom  of  the  enthusiast 
himself. 

The  main  climatic  controlling  factors  are  frost,  heat,  humidity,  and  dry- 
ness, each  in  the  double  capacity  of  friend  and  foe  to  different  plants. 

The  suitability  of  various  plants  to  particular  divisions  will  be  noted 
throughout  this  catalogue  by  letters  “A,”  “M,”  “B,”  etc.,  as  the  case  may  be, 
while  “E”  in  the  Rose  section  will  signify  that  the  variety  is  hardy  every- 
where. 


Rose  and  Tree  Specialists,  Epping,  N.S.W.  5 


ADELAIDE:  “A” — This  is  easily  the  largest  climatic  division,  extending 
well  into  all  the  States  on  the  Mainland.  It  is  characterised  by  hot  and  dry 
summers  and  fairly  severe  winter  conditions,  combined  with  a low  rainfall. 
The  strong  sunlight  is  very  hard  on  the  colour  of  blooms,  and  yellows 
particularly  suffer  during  the  summer  months.  The  heat  causes  quick  develop- 
ment and  tends  to  reduce  size  so  that  the  most  satisfactory  flowering  seasons 


against  sunburn  and  see  that  plants  do  not  suffer  from  lack  of  moisture.  Roses 
which  fade  or  which  have  scanty  and  weak  petalage  are  not  satisfactory 
generally,  and  selection  should  always  be  made  of  good  rich  colours  and  those 
of  moderate  to  full  petalage  which  should  be  of  good  substance.  Varieties 
which  burn  or  blue  should  be  discarded  at  these  faults  are  increased  by  the 
peculiar  action  of  the  sunlight.  The  dry  atmosphere  is  not  without  its  com- 
pensations for  black-spot  and  many  fungus  diseases  are  retarded,  and  varieties 
like  Edward  Mawley,  Lyon,  Madame  Edouard  Herriott,  etc.,  which  fail  in 
humid  climates,  are  quite  satisfactory.

Associated  with  this  climate  is  the  frequent  sudden  change  of  temperature 
with  its  resultant  encouragement  of  mildew,  and  best  results  are  obtained  with 
mildew  resistant  sorts.  The  nights  are  quite  cool  in  comparison  to  moist  cli- 
mates and  many  trees  and  shrubs  requiring  even  temperature  do  not  thrive  in 
consequence.  When  associated  with  heavy  dew  these  conditions  favour  “ball- 
ing” of  “tissue  paper  petalled”  Roses  such  as  Natalie  Bottner,  Madam  Jules 
Gravereaux,  etc.  This  balling  is  caused  by  the  petals  becoming  saturated  with 
moisture  and  preventing  the  bloom  opening.  It  usually  occurs  in  very  full 
varieties  which  have  notoriously  thin  petals.  An  example  of  good  substance 
which  is  quite  the  opposite  may  be  found  in  Ophelia  or  Madame  Butterfly. 

Frosts  are  severe  in  winter,  but  do  not  prevent  the  successful  growth  of 
Oranges  and  many  hardy  evergreen  shrubs.  It  is  too  dry,  however,  for  many 
trees  and  plants  requiring  moist  shady  climates.  Included  in  this  division 
is  a thin  strip  of  country  in  N.S.W.  between  Sydney’s  moist  coastal  climate 
and  the  mountains,  and  represented  by  such  towns  as  Liverpool,  Windsor, 
Singleton,  etc.

BRISBANE:  “B” — This  division  is  characterised  by  warm,  even  humid  con- 
ditions in  summer  and  mild  winters,  with  very  little  frost.  Nearly  all  tropical 
fruits,  such  as  Bananas,  Custard  Apples,  Mangoes  and  Pawpaws  do  well,  and 
growth  continues  almost  all  the  year  round.  All  blooms  develop  quickly, 
while  Black  Spot  and  Scale  diseases  find  a congenial  atmosphere. 

It  is  too  hot  for  many  deciduous  trees  and  shrubs  and  too  moist  for 
others.  It  is  essentially  an  evergreen  division,  while  the  even  temperature 
is  not  so  conducive  to  mildew,  and  the  varieties  of  Roses  which  “ball”  in 
colder  climates  are  quite  successful  here. 

In  selecting  Roses  single  and  loose  bodied  sorts  should  be  avoided,  also 
those  liable  to  Black  Spot,  which  include  all  the  Pernetianas.  Vigour  of 
growth  is  very  necessary,  but  the  mildew  and  balling  faults  of  others  may  be 
overlooked.  The  very  dark  reds  will  probably  burn  in  summer,  but  will  be 
quite  satisfactory  in  the  winter  blooming.

HOBART : “H” — Long  winters  of  varying  intensity  and  a short  growing 
season  mark  this  climate.  It  is  a land  of  fairly  equable  conditions  other- 
wise in  which  all  English  fruits  flourish  and  the  cloudy  skies  and  even  rain- 
fall promote  better  colours  in  flowers  and  foliage  than  obtain  in  other  capitals. 
It  is  too  cold  for  tropical  and  sub-tropical  subjects,  but  all  deciduous  trees, 
and  the  few  frost  resistant  evergreens,  thrive. 

In  Roses  the  singles  and  semi-doubles  do  well,  unless  specially  liable  to 
mildew,  while  sorts  liable  to  ball  through  over-petalage,  should  be  avoided. 
Pernetianas  are  only  fairly  successful. 

The  voting  conducted  by  the  Hobart  Mercury  gives  the  following  as 
the  popular  Roses: — 

Madame  Edouard  Herriot,  Chateau  de  Clos  Vougeot,  Madame  Abel  Chate- 
nay, Lady  Hillingdon,  Mrs.  H.  Stevens,  F.  K.  Druschki,  Golden  Emblem,  Mrs.

INLAND : “I” — This  may  be  fully  described  as  an  intensification  of 
Adelaide  conditions,  and  gardening  is  a much  more  difficult  proposition  in 
consequence.  Only  the  hardiest  varieties  recommended  for  Adelaide  should  be 
tried. 

MELBOURNE:  44M”— Midway  between  Adelaide  and  Hobart  in  general 
characteristics,  this  division  is  usually  marked  by  a hot  dry  summer,  but  with 
more  cloud  than  Adelaide,  which  favours  better  colour  in  blooms  and  makes 
the  growing  of  the  loose,  decorative  roses  worth  while.  It  receives  rather 
more  rain  than  Adelaide,  and  humidity  is,  on  the  average,  higher,  which 
in  some  seasons  favours  Black  Spot.  The  growing  season  is  shorter  than  in 
other  meteorological  divisions,  except  Hobart.  Nearly  all  English  trees  and 
fruits  (including  many  berry  fruits  such  as  raspberries,  black  and  red  cur- 
rants) flourish.  In  a few  favoured  places  Lemons  are  grown,  but  it  cannot 
be  classed  as  typical  Citrus  country,  and,  except  in  a few  places,  it  is  too 
cold  for  oranges  and  many  tender  ornamental  evergreens.  Pernetianas  are 
fairly  successful,  but  varieties  liable  to  ball,  blue,  or  mildew  excessively  should 
be  avoided. 

There  are  two  official  recommendations  for  this  climate.  The  first  is  the 
vote  taken  periodically  by  the  Argus  and  headed  Best  Roses  irrespective  of 
class.

MOUNTAIN  CLIMATE  : “MT” — This  embraces  the  parts  in  which  snow  is 
a regular,  or  possible,  visitor  each  winter.  In  some  respects  it  is  similar  to 
Hobart.  All  English  trees  and  fruits  luxuriate,  and  it  is  generally  classed  as 
typical  cherry  and  apple  country.  The  summer,  with  few  exceptions,  is  short, 
hot  and  dry,  with  cool  nights.  Planting  and  pruning  are  rendered  more 
difficult  by  reason  of  the  late  and  early  frosts.  Only  the  hardiest  evergreens 
are  successful.  Adelaide  list  of  roses  is  recommended,  but  care  should  be 
taken  to  exclude  sorts  liable  to  mildew,  ball,  or  blue. 

Those  who  like  the  full  petalled  Roses  should  make  a selection  from  the 
list  recommended  for  Adelaide,  while  the  singles  and  semi-doubles  where  these 
are  preferred  may  be  picked  from  the  Melbourne  suggestions. 

PERTH:  “P” — The  land  of  clear,  blue  skies.  The  intense  sunlight  stim- 
ulates a maximum  growth,  but  acts  prejudicially  against  colour.  Similar  in 
some  respects  to  Adelaide,  but  with  more  rain;  largely  influenced  by  a cold, 
southern  current  washing  the  coast.  The  peculiarities  are  a short,  rainy 
winter  and  hot,  dry  summer.  Generally  speaking,  the  trees,  fruits  and  roses 
of  Adelaide  may  be  considered  successful  in  this  division. 

SYDNEY : “S” — A thin  strip  of  sub-tropical,  coastal  country  extending  from 
Eden  in  the  South  to  Grafton  in  the  North,  this  division  may  be  described  as 
a modification  of  Brisbane  conditions  and  is  dominated  all  through  the  growing 
season  by  humid,  easterly  breezes.  Contrary  to  Perth,  this  coast  is  favoured 
with  a warm  ocean  current  from  the  North,  and  equable  conditions,  com- 
paratively speaking,  are  the  result.  Sudden  changes  of  temperature  do  not 
reach  the  intensity  of  Adelaide,  and  mildew  is  not  so  pronounced,  but  Black 
Spot  has  to  be  reckoned  with.  Bluing  and  balling,  although  faults,  do  not 
reach  the  intensity  experienced  in  other  divisions.  It  is  most  important  in 
selecting  Roses  to  avoid  those  extremely  liable  to  Black  Spot,  also  those  of 
pronounced  Pernetiana  origin. 

Typical  fruits  are  Oranges,  Lemons,  summer  fruits  and  a few  sorts  of 
Apples.  It  is  not  hot  enough  for  many  of  Brisbane’s  tropical  fruits  and  shrubs, 
nor  cold  enough  for  cherries,  and  too  moist  for  those  plants  rejoicing  in  a dry 
atmosphere. 

The  National  Rose  Society  of  New  South  Wales  recommend  the  following, 
and  there  is  very  little  to  suggest  by  way  of  improvement.

ROSE  CULTURE  IN  BRIEF 


When  unpacking  the  parcel  of  rose  plants,  remember  that  it  is  essential 
to  keep  the  roots  moist  and  free  from  exposure  to  air.  If  plants  shrivel  from 
dry  conditions,  bury  completely  in  moist  soil  for  three  days,  then  plant  as 
usual. 

SOIL. — Roses  may  be  grown  in  any  soil,  but  the  ideal  is  a stiff,  greasy 
loam,  the  deeper  the  better.  Real  sand  is  improved  by  the  additions  of  clay, 
loam,  vegetable  mould  and  manure.  Extra  heavy  soils  respond  to  lime,  sand, 
manure  and  leaf  mould. 

SITUATION.— Open  spaces  are  preferable  to  closely  sheltered  aspects,  as 
Mildew  and  Black  Spot  are  encouraged  by  moist,  close  conditions.  Roses  are 
best  grown  in  beds  by  themselves,  which  should  not  be  too  wide.  5ft.  6in. 
to  6ft.  is  ample  for  all  but  the  most  robust  growers,  and  this  will  accommo- 
date two  rows  of  plants.  Where  the  beds  are  along  a fence  or  wall  the  tallest 
varieties  should  be  placed  on  the  back  row  and  the  lower  growing  selection 
in  front  as  this  allows  each  rose  to  display  its  blooms  to  best  advantage. 

PREPARATION  OF  GROUND. — Good  roses  may  be,  and  freqeutntly  are, 
grown  with  little  preparation  of  the  beds.  But  the  grower  who  trenches  2 
to  3 feet  deep,  drains  by  underground  tile  or  other  drain,  manures  with 
suitable  materials,  and  in  general  “gives  with  both  hands”  to  his  plants,  will 
receive  in  like  measure  an  abundance  of  first  quality  blooms  that  will  more 
than  repay  for  the  extra  attention. 

PLANTING.- — The  time  for  planting  must  be  decided  by  various  local 
conditions.  When  plants  are  hard  and  woody,  and  soil  not  too  wet,  planting 
may  be  carried  out  any  month  in  the  year,  as  a few  pieces  of  bracken  or  bush 
will  temper  the  sun’s  heat  and  prevent  sunburn,  and  a water-can  or  hose 
supply  any  lack  of  moisture;  but,  generally  speaking,  in  coastal  New  South 
Wales,  April  to  August  is  the  usual  time.  In  cold,  snow  country,  April 
planting  is  most  desirable,  but  failing  that  it  is  better  to  withhold  until  August 
or  September,  but  frequently  under  these  severe  conditions  it  will  be  necessary 
to  shelter  the  plants  from  excessive  cold.  This  may  be  done  by  a heavy  mulch 
of  straw  or  dry  grass,  or  the  soil  may  be  banked  up  round  the  plant  to  a 
height  of  6 or  8 inches  until  the  plants  are  established. 

DEPTH  TO  PLANT. — In  all  gardening  activities  there  is  considerable 
divergence  of  opinion,  but  the  weight  of  evidence  all  tefids  to  prove  that 
planting  with  the  union  of  the  bud  and  stock  one  to  two  inches  below  the

the  plant  makes  roots  at  the  union,  thus  increasing  its  stability.  The  advan-

tage  of  this  method  is  that  if,  by  any  chance,  the  plant  is  killed  above  ground 
by  sunburn,  it  will  always  grow  again  from  below  the  surface.  In  plant- 
ing, the  roots  should  be  well  spread  out,  covered  with  fine  earth,  tramped 
firmly  and  then  well  watered  to  thoroughly  settle  the  soil.  When  the  water 
has  soaked  away,  the  wetted  surface  of  the  hole  should  be  covered  with 
loose  soil.  Water  after,  only  when  necessary,  and  then  do  it  well,  loosening  the 
caked  surface  when  dry  enough  later.  It  is  distinctly  inadvisable  to  put 
fresh  animal  or  chemical  manures  close  to  the  roots  of  newly  planted  Roses. 
The  fermentation  of  the  manure  creates  too  much  heat  and  chemical  manures 
are  too  concentrated  for  anything  but  well  established  plants. 

MANURING. — There  is  no  complete  manure,  and  it  is  necessary  to  use 
animal  and  chemical  alternately  to  maintain  soil  fertility.  Cow  manure  is 
generally  considered  the  best,  while  the  chemical  manure  should  contain 
phosphoric  acid,  nitrogen  and  potash.  Special  mixtures  are  put  up  embodying 
these  three  main  plant  foods.  Where  blood  and  bone  is  used  it  requires  the 
addition  of  extra  potash  to  make  it  complete  from  a chemical  point  of  view. 
Where  it  is  desired  to  mix  a Rose  manure,  super  phosphate  two  parts,  sulphate 
of  potash,  two  parts,  and  sulphate  of  ammonia,  one  part,  will  provide  a very  good 
basis.  Regular  liming  (every  third  year)  and  copious  waterings  are  very 
necessary,  as  without  these  important  details  the  best  effect  is  not  obtained. 

WHEN  TO  PICK. — All  flowers  should  be  picked  early  in  the  morning, 
the  loose  decorative  blooms,  just  as  the  buds  show  colour  and  are  on  the  point 
of  opening.  Remove  all  surplus  foliage,  scrape  the  bark  from  one  side  of  the 
stem  for  the  last  two  inches  and  place  in  fresh  water  in  the  house  away 
from  strong  sunlight.  Full  blooms  must  be  allowed  to  open  more  before 
picking.  Cut  long  stems  and  ensure  good  flowers  in  the  next  crop. 


Some  Notes  on  Rose  Pruning 

By  Mr.  W.  H.  Ifould, 

President  of  the  National  Rose  Society  of  N.S.W. 

(Mr.  Ifould  is  one  of  the  leading  Amateur  Rose-growers  in  Sydney,  and 
previously  had  many  years  experience  in  Adelaide.  He  has  been  President 
of  the  N.S.W.  Rose  Society  for  nearly  12  years  in  all,  and  has  a life  long 
association  with  Rose-growing.) 

Although  expert  pruning  requires  intimate  knowledge  of  the  various 
classes  of  roses,  and  an  experience  of  the  habits  of  growth  and  peculiarities 
of  the  individual  kinds  in  these  classes,  the  average  amateur  gardener  can 
do  the  work  very  satisfactorily  if  he  will  recognise  certain  first  principles. 
There  is  no  mystery  about  it,  and  the  man  or  woman  who  loves  his  plants 
and  sees  them  frequently  can  learn  the  main  principles  much  more  quickly 
and  treat  the  plants  much  more  sympathetically  than  the  great  majority  of 
professional  gardeners  who  are  hired  by  the  day  for  general  gardening  work. 
To  get  the  best  possible  results  from  the  pruning  one  should  learn  the 
peculiarilities  of  each  individual  variety,  and  this,  of  course,  means  experi- 
ence in  growing  a large  number  of  plants,  and  continual  study  of  the  same 
varieties  growing  under  other  conditions  in  other  gardens,  with  different 
methods  of  pruning  and  manuring,  disbudding,  and  so  on.  There  are  many 
thousands  of  varieties,  which  may  be  grown,  but  from  these  even  the  largest 
of  growers  choose  but  a few  hundred  kinds,  and  gradually  add  to  the  num- 
ber of  plants  of  those  varieties  which  prove  the  most  satisfactory.  In  my  own 
garden  are  about  a thousand  plants,  but  probably  not  more  than  300  varieties. 
Many  of  these  three  hundred  should  really  make  room  for  more  plants  of 
such  splendid  kinds  as  Madame  Abel  Chatenay,  Radiance,  Sunny  South, 
etc.  Every  year  I add  at  least  a dozen  new  varieties  to  the  collection,  and 
take  out  two  years  later  at  least  80  per  cent,  of  them,  after  proving  them  to

be  not  really  worth  growing.  The  average  gardener  should  confine  himself 
to  the  growing  of  but  a dozen  or  two  of  the  very  best  varieties,  and  if  he 
has  space  should  increase  the  number  of  plants  of  those  he  loves  best.  With 
a knowledge  of  the  first  principles  of  rose  pruning  he  should  soon  be  able 
to  learn  the  peculiarities  of  each  kind  of  rose  in  his  garden.  Let  us  consider 
then  the  principles  which  are  of  general  application. 

MAIN  PRINCIPLES.— 

1.  Always  prune  your  own  plants. 

2.  The  more  vigorous  the  variety  the  lighter  the  pruning,  and  the  con- 
verse. 

3.  Ordinary  bush  roses  (not  climbers),  and  standard  roses,  should  have 
from  one-third  to  two-thirds  of  their  growth  pruned  away  each  winter. 

4.  The  majority  of  varieties  should  have  all  of  their  wood  renewed  during 
every  period  of  three  years. 

5.  The  winter  pruning  should  include  three  things,  viz,  (a)  cutting  right 
to  the  ground  for  hush  roses,  or  to  the  stock  for  standards,  the  limbs  which 
are  worn  out;  ( b ) cutting  right  out  the  thin,  spindly  shoots  on  each  of  the 
main  limbs  left;  (c)  shortening  back  the  strong  shoots  grown  and  matured 
in  the  immediately  preceding  nine  months. 

6.  Cutting  correctly. 

7.  Watching  each  plant  throughout  the  year,  and  noting  how  it  flowers, 
what  kinds  of  shoots  carry  the  best  flowers,  etc. 

8.  In  cutting  the  blooms,  some  of  the  stem,  containing  at  least  one  bud, 
must  be  left  for  future  growth. 

9.  Disbudding  in  the  spring. 

Now  let  us  discuss  each  of  these  nine  points. 

DO  YOUR  OWN  PRUNING. — You  may  read  everything  that  has  been 
written  about  roses;  you  may  seek  the  advice  of  those  who  specialise,  and  are 
called  rosarians,  but  you  will  learn  far  more  about  your  plants  if  you  look 
after  them  yourself,  and,  above  all,  if  you  do  all  of  the  pruning.  One  is 
always  doing  some  pruning  in  a well-kept  rosary.  Certainly  the  main  season 
for  the  work  is  in  the  winter,  but  every  cutting  of  the  bloom  is  a pruning 
operation,  and  the  effect  on  the  plant  should  be  as  much  considered  then  as 
at  the  time  of  winter  pruning.  If  you  prune  your  own  plants  you  will  do 
them  little  harm  even  in  the  first  attempt.  I have  never  known  pruning  to 
kill  a plant,  and  your  main  fault  will  be  cutting  away  too  little,  rather  than 
too  much.  Moreover,  the  blooms  have  far  greater  value  to  the  culturist  than 
to  him  who  leaves  the  work  to  a hired  man.  It  is  wonderful  how  much 
will  be  learnt  by  actually  doing  the  work  yourself,  and  how  pleasurable  and 
full  of  interest  the  operation  is. 

HOW  MUCH  TO  CUT. — -It  is  an  old  rule,  but  a very  good  one,  that  the 
more  vigorous  the  variety  of  rose  the  lighter  it  should  be  pruned,  and  the 
weaker  the  grower  the  larger  the  proportion  of  growth  which  should  be  re- 
moved. The  strong-growing,  vigorous  kinds  can  feed  more  shoots,  and 
develbp  more  good  blooms  than  the  less  vigorous.  I was  once  asked  for  a 
general  direction  as  to  how  close  to  the  ground  should  roses  be  pruned.  We 
happened  to  be  standing  near  a vigorous  bush  of  W.  R.  Smith,  with  a weakly 
plant  of  Dean  Hole  growing  within  six  feet  of  it.  The  bush  of  the  former  was 
7ft.  high,  and  at  least  5ft.  through,  while  Dean  Hole  had  but  three  healthy 
shoots,  not  more  than  2ft.  high.  The  question  could  best  be  answered  by 
pruning  Dean  Hole  there  and  then  to  three  stems,  each  about  six  inches 
long,  and  the  rampant  W.  R.  Smith  was  thinned  out,  but  left  five  feet  high, 
and  four  feet  wide,  with  enough  buds  to  carry  about  100  flowers  in  the  spring. 
The  severity  of  pruning  varies  between  cutting  away  of  one-third  of  the  total 
wood  on  a plant  to  as  much  as  two-thirds.  Show  growers  prune  very  little 


14

harder  than  one  should  prune  for  ordinary  garden  display,  and  for  cutting  for 
the  house.  The  show  grower  gets  his  superior  flowers  by  more  attention  to 
manuring,  and  above  all,  to  limiting  the  number  of  flowers  he  allows  his 
plants  to  carry.  He  does  this  by  rubbing  off  in  the  early  spring  all  but  the 
strongest  new  shoots  before  they  reach  half  an  inch  in  length,  and  by  allowing 
each  shoot  to  carry  only  one  flower.  His  winter  pruning  is  no  harder  than 
should  be  practiced  in  any  garden.  The  principle  of  pruning  according  to 
the  strength  of  the  plant  is  a safe  one.  As  the  grower  gets  to  know  the 
peculiarities  of  each  kind  of  rose,  he  will  soon  be  able  to  vary  the  application 
of  the  principle.  This  variation,  however,  will  not  affect  the  quantity  of  wood 
taken  away  so  much  as  the  kind  of  growth  cut  severely  or  left  long. 
This  point  will  be  discussed  below.  The  following  roses  should  have 
about  two-thirds  of  their  growth  pruned  off: — Mrs.  W.  J.  Grant, 
(Belle  Siebrecht  dwarf),  Farben  Koenigin,  Georges  Schwartz,  Lady 
Battersea,  Lena,  Mildred  Grant,  Richmond,  Souvenir  of  Stella  Gray,  Dean  Hole, 
Liberty.  About  half  the  growth  should  be  left  on  the  following: — Antoine 
Rivoire,  Betty,  Christine  de  Noue,  Countess  of  Gosford,  Earl  of  Warwick, 
Etoile  de  France,  Francois  Dubreuil,  General  MacArthur,  Irish  Elegance,  Irish 
Fireflame,  Kaiserin  Augusta  Victoria,  Killarney,  Koenigin  Carola,  La  Tosca, 
Lady  Ashtown,  Lady  Roberts,  Laurent  Carle,  Yvonne  Vacherot,  Warrior,  Sou- 
venir de  Maria  de  Zayas,  Souvenir  de  Therese  Levet,  Souvenir  de  Catherine 
Guillot,  Rose  D’Evian,  Rainbow,  Perle  von  Godesberg,  Prince  de  Bulgarie, 
Paul  Neyron,  Mrs.  Theodore  Roosevelt,  Medea,  Mrs.  Aaron  Ward,  Madame 
Vermorel,  Madame  Jules  Grolez,  Madame  Lambard,  Gustav  Grunewald,  Orleans, 
Rhea  Reid. 

The  following  should  have  only  about  one-third  pruned  off,  viz.: — 
Madame  Abel  Chatenay,  Radiance,  Red  Letter  Day,  Frau  Karl 
Druschki,  J.  B.  Clark,  Gloire  de  Chedane  Guinoisseau,  George  Dick- 
son, Hugh  Dickson,  Gruss  an  Teplitz,  Augustine  Guinoisseau,  Bessie 
Brown  (if  you  have  not  thrown  the  wretched  thing  away),  W.  R. 
Smith,  Caroline  Testout,  Florence  Pemberton,  La  France,  Madame  Antoine 
Mari,  Madame  Jean  Dupuy,  Madame  Jules  Gravereaux,  Madame  Wagram, 
Maman  Cochet,  White  Maman  Cochet,  Marie  van  Houtte,  Robert  Duncan, 
Sunny  South. 

PRUNE  TO  REJUVENATE. — I mentioned  above  that  the  pruning  should 
be  designed  to  renew  the  growth  of  each  plant  about  every  three  years.  This 
should  be  made  an  absolute  rule  for  all  of  those  varieties  which  are  listed 
above  as  requiring  hard  pruning.  It  applies  also  to  those  mentioned  as  re- 
quiring medium  pruning,  though  not  so  rigidly.  They  should  have  their 
wood  renewed  as  much  as  possible,  and  at  least  in  every  four  years.  Many  of 
those  in  the  third  list,  that  is,  the  list  of  those  which  require  only  a light 
pruning,  must  be  dealt  with  more  on  the  fruit  tree  principle.  They  form  a 
system  of  main  limbs  which  allow  of  a free  flow  of  sap  for  many  years.  It  is 
only  when  these  main  limbs  become  most  apparently  debilitated  and  bark-bound 
should  they  be  removed.  Varieties  of  this  class  are  Frau  Karl  Druschki,  Mad- 
ame Abel  Chatenay,  Radiance,  George  Dickson,  Hugh  Dickson,  W.  R.  Smith, 
Madame  Antoine  Mari,  Madame  Jean  Dupuy,  Madame  Jules  Gravereaux, 
the  two  Cochets,  Marie  van  Houtte,  and  Sunny  South. 

Rosarians  will  recognise  that  these  exceptional  roses  belong  to  the  classes 
of  Chinas,  Teas,  Hybrid  Teas,  as  well  as  hybrid  perpetuals.  It  must  be  care- 
fully noted  that  I am  not  discussing  climbing  roses,  only  dwarf  budded  bush 
roses  and  standards. 

WHAT  TO  CUT. — Before  the  pruning  of  any  rose  plant  is  commenced, 
the  operator  should  examine  the  growth  from  top  to  base  to  determine  what 
limbs  should  he  cut  right  away  at  the  base.  The  wild  briar  throws  up  a shoot 
in  the  summer.  It  ripens  before  the  spring,  and  then  flowers  and  fruits  on  short 
lateral  growth.  These  two  years  see  its  youth  and  prime.  It  will  live  for  some 
years  longer,  but  only  in  a moribund  condition.  It  has  fulfilled  its  destiny. 
Other  shoots  will  break  from  the  ground  to  carry  on  the  functions  of  the

plant.  Garden  roses  which  have  all  been  bred  from  these  wild  roses,  go  through 
very  much  the  same  kind  of  cycle.  The  principle  must  first  be  recognised,  and 
it  then  becomes  easy  and  interesting  to  study  the  variations.  In  cultivated 
roses  the  natural  cycle  is  interfered  with  by  pruning,  cutting  the  flowers,  or 
at  any  rate  the  dead  heads,  and  thus  preventing  fruiting.  The  plant  will 
then  produce  one  or  more  shoots  from  the  one  which  was  prevented  from 
fulfilling  its  main  function,  that  is,  producing  seed.  Again  the  flower  head  is 
cut  off,  and  once  more  (and  with  free  blooming  varieties  in  the  same  season), 
another  secondary  shoot,  will  grow  out  and  bloom.  How  often  this  attempt 
to  fruit  will  be  made  by  the  original  shoot  will  depend  on  the  variety,  but  it 
will  be  seen  that  in  most  varieties  the  offshoots  will  grow  out  less  and  less 
vigorously.  Some  varieties,  strangely  enough,  throw  secondary  shoots  stronger 
than  the  first  growth,  notably  the  two  Cochets — varieties  that  have  so  far  de- 
parted from  the  natural  order  of  things  as  never  to  set  seed.  When  the  second- 
ary growth  reaches  a stage  of  debility  as  to  produce  only  weak,  spindly  growth, 
and  poor  flowers,  or  none  at  all,  the  main  limb  must  be  cut  right  to  the  base. 
Such  an  operation  will  assist  Nature  by  spurring  the  plant  to  produce  another 
limb  to  take  its  place.  This,  then,  is  what  I mean  by  renewing  the  whole 
top  of  the  plant  every  three  years.  Main  limbs  which  the  pruner  must  cut 
right  away  can  be  easily  recognised.  This  major  operation  is  the  first  part 
of  the  work  of  pruning.  The  second  is  to  cut  from  the  remaining  vigorous 
limbs  all  of  the  small  twiggy  or  spindly  shoots.  What  diameter  of  a shoot 
will  decide  its  fate  depends  of  course  on  the  variety  and  the  relative  strength 
and  thickness  of  its  growth.  A little  experience  will  teach  the  novice  to  know 
what  is  this  useless  spindly  growth,  and  careful  watching  of  his  plants  when 
they  flower  will  show  what  growth  left  on  the  plants  failed  to  produce  flowers. 
As  soon  as  this  is  spotted  in  the  spring  the  useless  shoots  should  be  cut  off 
or  they  will  only  take  sap  from  the  valuable  growth.  A good  rose  grower 
is  always  snicking  pieces  out  of  his  plants. 

After  clearing  out  the  small  shoots  the  pruner  must  then  decide  how  far 
he  should  shorten  back  the  vigorous,  healthy  wood  from  which  he  is  to  get  his 
flowers.  This  again  depends  on  the  vigor  of  the  variety  of  rose  he  is  pruning. 
Study  again  the  lists  above  for  heavy,  medium,  and  light  pruning.  For  this 
part  of  the  pruning,  err  rather  on  the  side  of  cutting  too  little  than  too 
much.  However  much  you  cut  off  you  must  be  sure  you  are  cutting  back  to 
a plump,  healthy-looking  bud.  If  your  plant  has  a straight  up  habit  of  growth, 
such  as  Jonkheer  J.  L.  Mock,  you  should  cut  to  a bud  pointing  outwards,  but 
if  the  plant  is  a spreading  grower,  such  as  Laurent  Carle,  you  will  choose  a 
bud  on  the  top  of  the  wood  or  even  an  inside  bud.  Above  all,  don’t  hack  your 
plant  about  in  order  to  make  it  more  symmetrical.  Many  varieties  can  never 
be  made  into  even  growing  shapely  bushes.  Something  can  be  done  towards 
this  desideratum  by  tying  truant  limbs  to  a stake,  but  pruning  will  help 
little,  notwithstanding  all  the  text  book  advice,  and  the  attempt  to  make  a 
shapely  bush  will  only  result  in  loss  of  flowers,  and,  with  some  varieties,  a 
fit  of  the  sulks,  which  will  last  for  years.  Notably  among  these  kinds  are 
Madame  Abel  Chatenay,  Rose  D’Evian,  and  Lyon  Rose. 

HOW  TO  CUT. — Many  English  rosarians  still  follow  the  old-time  prejudice 
against  secateurs,  and  in  favour  of  the  pruning  knife  with  a sharp  edge  and 
curved  blade.  Certainly  the  knife  makes  a cleaner  cut,  and  does  not  bruise 
the  bark  or  crush  the  wood  as  secateurs  are  liable  to  do,  but  the  bark  on 
the  back  of  the  performer’s  hands  is  more  tender  and  infinitely  more  precious 
that  that  of  our  most  favoured  rose.  A good  pair  of  secateurs  with  a sharp 
blade  properly  handled,  is  quite  the  most  satisfactory  tool  for  pruning  rose 
bushes,  as  well  as  for  vines  and  fruit  trees.  The  best  kind  for  roses  has 
two  knife  blades  working  to  a point,  with  the  edge  of  one  convex,  and  of  the 
other  concave.  With  the  ordinary  kind  the  secateurs  should  be  handled  so 
that  the  knife  blade  is  underneath,  and  thus  makes  a clean  cut  on  the  bud 
side  of  the  shoot.  The  cut  should  be  made  with  a slope  away  from  the  bud, 
not  straight  across  the  shoot.  Such  a diagonal  cut  is  easier  to  make,  and  the 


16 


HAZLEWOOD  BROS. 


operation  will  not  result  in  pinching  the  wood.  Each  cut  should  be  not  less 
than  an  eighth  and  not  more  than  a quarter  of  an  inch  above  the  bud,  on  the 
bud  side  of  the  shoot,  and  should  slope  upwards,  so  that  it  should  finish  about 
three-eighths  of  an  inch  higher  than  the  bud,  on  the  opposite  side  of  the  shoot. 
It  is  realised  that  this  is  quite  contrary  to  ordinary  recommendations,  hut  as 
shoots  so  often  die  back  below  the  cut  when  made  in  the  old  way,  there  is 
really  no  other  course  to  be  pursued.  For  cutting  wornout  limbs  to  the 
ground  a pruning  saw  should  be  used.  On  such  heavy  work  the  secateurs 
will  quickly  lose  their  edge,  and  the  pruner  will  bruise  the  palm  of  his  hand 
through  the  heavy  pressure  needed  to  make  the  cut. 

WATCH  THE  EFFECT  OF  YOUR  PRUNING.— After  the  plants  com- 
mence  their  spring  growth,  much  valuable  experience  can  be  gained  by  noting 
the  effect  of  the  pruning.  Note  the  relative  strength  of  the  shoots,  their  direc- 
tion of  growth,  and  record  those  that  produce  the  best  blooms.  It  will  be  seen 
that  some  varieties  might  have  been  allowed  to  carry  more  wood  and  more 
flowers,  whilst  others  would  have  had  stronger  and  longer  growth  and  better 
blooms  if  the  winter  pruning  had  been  more  severe.  You  will  see  also  that 
some  varieties  make  their  best  wood  in  the  spring  growth,  whilst  others  build 
themselves  up  in  the  middle  of  summer.  This  careful  noting  of  the  habit 
of  growth  will  help  very  materially  in  teaching  the  grower  how  he  must  prune 
his  different  bushes,  and  especially  the  new  varieties. 

DISBUDDING. — By  the  end  of  August  the  sap  will  be  rising  fast,  and 
shoots  of  brilliant  green  and  bronze  will  be  pushing  out  from  all  parts  of  the 
plant,  but  mainly,  of  course,  from  the  topmost  bud  of  each  limb.  This 
is  the  time  when  the  exhibitor  pays  his  plants  most  attention.  He  will  be  seen 
rubbing  off,  or  snicking  off  with  a sharp  knife,  the  buds  he  does  not  want. 
He  has  learnt  to  know  how  many  good  blooms  a bush  of  any  variety  can  carry, 
and  he  desires  on  his  exhibition  varieties  only  good  blooms,  not  primarily 
a brilliant  garden  display.  For  the  garden  he  grows  “garden  roses,”  and 
on  these  he  leaves  a far  larger  number  of  shoots  to  mature  and  carry  flowers. 
If  he  would  be  successful  in  the  show  with  such  kinds  as  Madame  Constant 
Soupert,  he  will  allow  a bush  of  average  vigour  to  produce  only  four  or  five 
blooms  and  perhaps  only  one  or  two  of  these  will  be  really  good  show  roses, 
and  it  is  a chance  whether  these  will  be  in  good  condition  on  the  day. 
This  variable  lady  is,  like  most  queens  of  beauty,  best  left  alone.  The  spring 
disbudding  is  not,  however,  of  importance  only  to  the  grower  for  exhibition. 
It  is  for  every  cultivator  of  roses  a necessary  part  of  the  pruning  operations. 
For  those  who  desire  good  blooms  for  the  garden  and  long  stemmed 
ones  for  cutting  it  is  important  to  rub  out  some  of  the  shoots  bursting  in 
August.  This  will  throw  more  vigour  into  those  which  remain,  give  better 
and  longer  stemmed  blooms,  and  build  up  a finer  plant  to  bear  more  flowers 
in  the  summer  and  autumn.  On  the  average  the  exhibitor  will  rub  out  at 
least  two-thirds  of  the  shoots  of  exhibition  varieties.  The  ordinary  grower 
should  rub  out  quite  one-third.  Where  more  than  one  shoot  breaks  from 
the  same  point  only  one  should  be  left.  All  weak  shoots  should  be  rubbed 
out  before  they  get  half  an  inch  in  length.  I prefer  to  snick  them  off  to- 
gether with  a little  hark  of  the  stem  from  which  they  are  shooting,  as 
the  shoot  rubbed  off  will  frequently  be  succeeded  by  two  more  growing  from 
dormant  eyes  on  each  side  of  the  original  bud,  and  these  will  also  need  taking 
off. 

LIMITING  FLOWER  BUDS. — One  learns  quickly  to  pinch  off  all  but  the 
centre  flower  bud  from  a carnation  stem,  but  it  seems  harder  to  persuade 
growers  that  it  is  just  as  necessary  to  perform  this  operation  with  many  kinds 
of  roses.  Varieties  which  bloom  in  trusses,  the  many  flowers  of  which  are 
open  about  the  same  time,  should  of  course  have  all  of  their  flower  buds 
left  to  mature,  and  this  also  applies  to  many  of  the  light  decorative  roses, 
with  single  or  only  semi-double  flowers;  but  the  full-bodied  roses  should 
only  be  allowed  to  retain  the  centre  bud  of  the  three  or  five  which  normally 
form  at  the  ends  of  flowering  shoots.  If  the  buds  were  left  on  they  would  be

cut  with  the  first  flower  to  open,  and  this  first  is  always  the  topmost  or  centre 
bud.  If  allowed  to  remain  they  rob  the  main  bud  and  diminish  is  size  and, 
with  many  varieties,  spoil  its  form.  So  harden  your  heart  and  pinch  them  out 
as  soon  as  they  are  large  enough  to  handle.  This  also  is  a part  of  the  opera- 
tion of  pruning.  j 

HOW  TO  CUT  THE  BLOOMS. — At  least,  says  the  lady  gardener,  I know 
how  to  gather  the  blooms,  but  if  one  may  judge  by  the  condition  of  the 
hushes  at  the  time  of  winter  pruning  in  most  gardens,  there  are  really  very 
few,  men  or  women,  who  know  how  to  cut  the  blooms.  Unfortunately  writers 
of  gardening  notes  frequently  advise  their  readers  to  cut  with  stems  as  long  as 
they  can  get  them,  and  the  ladies  are  only  too  glad  to  accept  the  advice. 
Most  people  who  really  love  roses  prefer  to  have  their  blooms  on  long  stems, 
although  I have  seen  a bunch  of  beautiful  stems  rudely  cut  down  and  dumped 
into  a bowl  with  the  flowers  all  crowded  and  shorn  of  half  their  glory.  By  all 
means  have  the  stems  as  long  as  possible,  but  in  cutting  the  blooms  have  some 
thought  for  the  plant  itself.  Never  cut  the  stem  right  back  to  the  shoot  from 
which  it  made  its  growth.  Leave  a least  one  leaf  bud  to  grow  out  and  pro- 
duce another  bloom  in  the  summer.  I much  prefer  to  cut  back  to  two  eyes, 
and  if  the  bushes  are  vigorous,  properly  pruned  in  the  winter,  and  judiciously 
disbudded  as  described  above  the  flower  stems  of  most  varieties  will  be  long 
enough  to  satisfy  the  lady  who  wants  to  fill  the  living-room  with  beautiful 
roses.  The  first  blooms  of  newly-planted  roses  should  not  be  cut;  leave  them 
until  the  petals  fall,  and  then  snip  off  the  head.  Every  leaf  must  be  left 
to  the  young  plant,  in  order  that  it  can  manufacture  the  protoplasm  needed 
for  growth.  Some  varieties,  such  as  the  dwarf  Georges  Schwartz  will  simply 
sulk  for  the  whole  year  if  the  first  flower  stems  are  rudely  shorn  off.  Remem- 
ber always  that  whilst  it  is  for  the  roots  to  gather  crude  material  this  cannot 
be  utilised  until  the  leaves  have  converted  it  into  protoplasm,  to  be  stored  up  in 
leaf  buds  for  future  growth  or  to  be  sent  down  again  to  the  roots  to  enable 
them  to  grow  and  gather  more  crude  material.  The  more  leaves  you  cut  off 
in  the  spring  the  smaller  the  protoplasmic  factory,  so  do  not  expect  the  gar- 
dener to  allow  the  first  season’s  flowers  to  be  cut  with  long  stems  from  the 
baby  plants.  Cut  long  stems  from  the  old  plants,  but  leave  one  or  two  eyes 
if  you  would  cut  and  come  again. 

PRUNING  NEWLY-PLANTED  ROSES. — If  your  planting  this  winter  was 
finished  by  June  you  should  not  have  shortened  back.  The  nurseryman  pruned 
as  much  as  was  necessary  before  he  sent  the  plants  out.  They  will  by  this 
time  have  made  a little  stunted  growth  from  the  topmost  buds.  This  growth 
is  useless.  You  should  wait  until  the  first  week  of  August,  and  cut  each 
stem  back  to  a plump  dormant  bud  bursting  with  desire  to  grow. 

CLIMBING  ROSES. — For  the  first  season  after  planting  Climbers  should 
be  allowed  to  grow  without  hindrance,  except  for  the  tying  of  each  shoot  into 
the  place  it  is  most  suited  to  cover.  The  following  spring,  each  cane  should  be 
slightly  topped  back  to  force  the  lateral  growth  which  generally  carries  the 
blooms.  After  each  flowering  is  finished  these  side  shoots  should  be  cut 
back  to  one  or  two  eyes,  thus  forming  small  spurs  on  the  original  cane.  Sub- 
sequent pruning  of  climbers  consists  in  cutting  away  right  at  the  base,  the 
old  worn  out  canes,  and  training  vigorous  shoots  in  their  place.  The  main 
idea  is  to  see  that  a fresh  supply  of  new  growth  is  maintained  to  replace  old 
wood.  The  best  time  for  cutting  out  these  worn  out  main  shoots  is  after  the 
spring  flowering,  that  is  during  the  first  fortnight  in  November  for  the  climb- 
ing Teas  and  Hybrid  Teas  and  at  the  end  of  November  for  the  Wichuraiana 
and  Multiflora  climbers  like  Dorothy  Perkins,  Blush  Rambler,  etc. 


I have  to  advise  the  safe  arrival  of  roses  for  which  I thank  you.  They 
arrived  in  perfect  condition,  in  fact  one  would  think  they  had  just  been  lifted, 
and  as  a matter  of  fact  it  was  10  days  journey  for  them.  I am  very  satisfied 
with  them  and  the  packing  and  hope  to  be  able  to  collect  some  good  blooms 
later  on. — A.T.L.,  Bridgetown,  Western  Australia.

Diseases 

INSECT  ENEMIES. 

APHIDES. — This  pest,  known  also  as  Greenfly,  plant  lice,  etc.,  attacks  the 
young  growth,  pierces  the  bark  and  sucks  the  sap,  which  is  the  life  blood  of  the 
plant.  As  they  do  not  eat  bark  or  foliage  a poison  spray  is  useless  and  they 
must  he  attacked  by  different  methods.  As  all  insects  must  breathe  in  order 
to  live  the  best  means  of  eradication  is  found  in  closing  up  the  breathing 
pores  on  the  sides  of  the  body,  by  covering  them  with  some  sticky  substance. 
They  may  also  be  sprayed  with  mild  irritants  as  long  as  the  foliage  is  not  in- 
jured. The  following  spray  is  recommended: — Blackleaf  40  (Nicotine  Sul- 
phate), this  should  be  mixed  as  directed  on  the  containers  in  the  proportions 
of  i-oz.  to  4 gallons  of  water.  For  convenience,  a petrol  tin  may  be  considered 
as  holding  4 gallons.  One  of  our  customers  found  a decided  advantage  in 
adding  2 ozs.  of  Scrubbs  Cloudy  Ammonia  to  the  mixture.  If  used  with 
judgment,  the  garden  hose  is  invaluable,  and  the  insects  may  be  washed  off 
the  shoots  very  quickly.  Care  should  be  taken  not  to  injure  the  buds  or 
foliage  with  an  excessive  force  of  water.  As  the  Aphides  increase  at  an  enor- 
mous rate  they  should  be  attacked  immediately  they  are  noticed.  Their  natural 
enemies  should  also  be  encouraged.  The  Lady  Bird  Beetles,  both  in  adult 
and  larval  stages  are  invaluable,  and  amongst  birds  the  common  Sparrow, 
Blue  Wren,  and  Silvereve  should  be  jealously  guarded  as  they  do  invaluable 
service  in  checking  this  evil.  Ants  should  be  exterminated  from  the  garden 
as  they  undoubtedly  befriend  the  Aphides,  and  are  declared  to  carry  them 
to  suitable  plants.  The  Aphides  give  off  a sticky  excretion  called  “Honey 
Dew,”  and  it  is  for  this  food  that  the  ants  protect  them.  This  honey  dew 
sometimes  becomes  the  host  of  a black  fungus,  which  is  known  as  Sooty 
Mould,  and  this  frequently  causes  concern  to  the  rose  grower.  As,  however,  it 
is  not  a parasite,  and  consequently  does  not  extract  anything  from  the  leaf,  it 
need  not  be  taken  seriously.  The  remedy  is  to  get  rid  of  the  Aphides  and 
Sooty  Mould  will  not  appear. 

RED  SPIDER. — This  microscopic  insect  attacks  the  under  surface  of  the 
leaves  and  ultimately  causes  discolouration  and  defoliation.  They  should 
be  sprayed  as  soon  as  noticed  with  Liver  of  Sulphur  at  the  rate  of  1 oz  to 
2 gallons  of  water. 

THRIPS.— This  insect  is  one  of  the  most  difficult  to  combat,  as  they  enter 
the  flowers  and  cannot  be  treated  without  injuring  the  bloom  itself.  By  feed- 
ing on  the  petals  and  sap,  they  cause  great  damage,  generally  in  the  spring  time, 
and  the  blooms  attacked  are  soon  noticed  by  the  brown  and  shrivelled  edges 
of  the  petals.  In  some  districts  this  pest  is  so  bad  that  it  has  been  seriously 
suggested  that  Spring  Rose  Shows  be  cancelled.  The  only  remedy  appears  to 
be  saturating  the  plants  with  cold  water.  The  Victorian  Department  of  Agri- 
culture is  investigating  this  trouble  from  a rose  growing  point  of  view,  and  it 
is  to  be  hoped  that  some  effective  remedy  will  be  the  result  of  their  research. 
The  insects  prefer  white  or  light  coloured  roses  and  it  should  be  possible 
to  prepare  some  poisonous  bait  to  which  they  might  be  attracted,  if  it  can 
be  only  determined  what  it  is  they  prefer  in  the  blooms  mentioned.  Rose 
growers  are  urged  to  co-operate  in  this  work  and  forward  the  result  of  their 
observations  to  the  Secretary  of  their  Rose  Society  or  to  us.  The  dates  of  the 
first  attack,  the  varieties  preferred,  varieties  which  are  immune  and  other 
data  would  be  invaluable. 

CHAFER  GRUBS. — These  large  white  grubs  cause  serious  damage  under 
ground  by  eating  the  roots  and  bark  on  the  stem.  Many  a plant  has  died 
through  being  ringbarked  underground.  There  is  no  effective  remedy  beyond 
killing  all  that  are  noticed  when  digging.  Bush  leaves  from  places  where  they 
are  known  to  exist  should  be  avoided  as  the  eggs  are  frequently  brought  into 
the  garden  by  this  means.  In  some  places  fresh  tobacco  refuse  spread  round 
the  plants  has  been  found  to  kill  them.  When  the  Nicotine  has  been  washed 
out  it  should  be  replenished.  It  makes  a good  manure,  so  two  objects  are 
served.

FUNGUS  DISEASES. 

MILDEW. — The  commonest  of  these  diseases  is  mildew.  This  forms  a 
coating  over  the  foliage  preventing  it  from  carrying  out  its  important  work. 
The  usual  methods  of  treatment  are  spraying  with  Liver  of  Sulphur,  1 oz. 
to  2 gallons,  or  4 ozs.  Bicarbonate  of  Soda  to  4 gallons  of  water.  The  plants 
may  also  be  dusted  as  for  black  spot.  It  is  most  important  to  commence 
treatment  before  the  disease  appears  as  it  is  much  easier  to  prevent  than  cure. 
See  special  note  for  experimental  treatment. 

BLACK  SPOT. — This  disease  is  very  prevalent  in  moist  coastal  areas  as 
the  warmth  and  humidity  are  ideal  conditions  for  its  growth  and  dissemina- 
tion. As  the  fungus  takes  its  root  in  the  leaf  itself  it  is  practically  impossible 
to  cure.  Much  may  be  done  by  regular  winter  sprayings  with  Bordeaux 
mixture.  Before  the  disease  makes  its  appearance  the  plants  should  have 
regular  dustings  of  9 parts  Flour  of  Sulphur  to  one  part  Arsenate  of  Lead 
Powder.  This  should  be  distributed  while  the  foliage  is  slightly  damp  with 
dew  and  to  be  effective  it  will  need  repeating  after  rain.  Another  method  is 
to  spray  with  Liver  of  Sulphur,  1 oz.  to  2 gallons  of  water  immediately  after 
the  spring  crop  of  flowers  is  finished.  Some  few  varieties,  particularly  some 
of  the  rose  species,  appear  to  be  quite  immune.  This  fact  should  hold  the 
secret  for  successful  control.  The  heartfelt  thanks  of  the  rose  world  would 
assuredly  be  sufficient  recompense  for  the  successful  investigator. 

DIE  BACK. — This  disease  appears  to  be  making  headway  in  many  places 
and  is  a most  serious  trouble.  It  is  described  by  one  authority  as  attacking 
the  vigorous  shoots  in  the  early  spring.  The  leaves  nearest  the  base  curl  up 
and  drop  off  when  the  plant  is  shaken.  Ultimately  the  whole  stem  becomes 
infected  and  each  successive  shoot  seems  to  be  attacked  in  the  same  way  until 
the  plant  succumbs.  As  soon  as  it  is  noticed,  drastic  pruning  to  healthy  wood 
should  be  carried  out,  while  painting  the  stems  with  Sulphuric  Acid,  1 oz. 
to  1 gallon  of  water  is  said  to  be  effective.  Always  pour  the  Acid  into  the 
water  and  never  reverse  the  process.  The  stems  may  also  be  painted  with 
Condy’s  Crystals,  using  |-oz.  to  1 gallon  of  water. 


The  Conquest  of  Mildew 

By  H.  H.  HAZLEWOOD. 

(This  paper  was  read  before  the  National  Rose  Society  of  New  South 
Wales,  in  December,  1924,  and  sent  to  the  American  Rose  Annual  for  publica- 
tion. Permission  to  reprint  in  this  catalogue  was  generously  accorded  by 
both  bodies.  Growers  are  asked  to  report  the  results  of  any  experiments  or 
observations  with  a view  to  a final  solving  of  the  world-wide  problem.) 

For  a long  time  an  effort  has  been  made  to  reconcile  some  of  the  theories 
as  to  the  cause  of  mildew,  with  some  of  the  practical  experiences  met  with 
by  most  growers.  It  is  generally  considered  that  the  mildew  spores  are  dis- 
tributed universally  in  all  countries,  and  only  await  suitable  conditions  for 
their  growth  and  development  into  the  well-known  rose  “blight.”  These 
conditions  are  described  by  various  authorities  as  (a)  sudden  changes  of 
temperature  in  the  growing  season;  ( b ) moist  humid  conditions  with  conse- 
quent soft,  sappy  growth  which  is  peculiarly  susceptible  to  infection;  while 
(c)  another  declares  mildew  to  be  most  prevalent  after  a long  dry  spell. 

It  cannot  be  said  that  these  theories  clash  in  any  way,  but  they  do  fail  to  ac- 
count for  the  absence  of  mildew  in  some  gardens  which  are  regularly  liable  to  all 
three  “causes.” 

After  reviewing  all  the  old  and  new  remedies  for  mildew  control  it  was 
felt  that  there  must  be  some  other  explanation,  for  the  immune  gardens  re- 
ceived no  special  treatment  from  the  hands  of  their  owners.  Shortly  after  this, 
the  oft  repeated  statement  that  potash  has  wonderful  powers  in  promoting 
resistance  to  fungus  diseases,  received  serious  consideration  as  a possible  so-

lution.  This  satement  appears  in  almost  every  book  on  agricultural  chemistry 
and  manuring,  and  yet  its  claims  never  seem  to  have  been  properly  exploited. 
It  was  determined  to  test  it  with  particular  reference  to  rose  mildew.  As 
soon  as  Sulphate  of  Potash  was  available  after  the  war,  a small  quantity 
was  procured  and  applied  to  the  soil  around  plants  of  Dean  Hole,  Penelope 
(an  Australian  variety),  and  Mildred  Grant,  as  representing  three  varieties 
peculiarly  liable  to  the  disease.  Immediate  results  were  not  looked  for,  but 
in  the  next  growth  there  was  certainly  a marked  improvement.  Just  at  this 
time  the  acquaintance  was  made  of  another  investigator,  who  was  pursuing 
the  same  line  of  enquiry  with  equally  encouraging  results.  Dean  Hole  had 
been  used  in  this  instance  and  it  was  kept  free  from  mildew  throughout  the 
season  by  applications  of  a liquid  manure  made  from  1 tablespoonful  Potas- 
sium Sulphate  to  4 gallons  of  water.  With  this  gratifying  confirmation,  another 
season  was  looked  forward  to  further  establish  the  truth  of  the  theory. 


FROM  TWO  PLANTS  OF  PENELOPE. 

Untreated.  Manured  with  Potash. 

The  next  evidence  was  supplied  by  Dr.  Claude  S.  Browne,  of  Tumut, 
N.S.W.,  whose  garden  was  regularly  attacked,  and  who  was  endeavouring  to 
secure  mildew-resistant  varieties  as  the  best  way  out  of  the  difficulty.  After 
several  letters  on  the  question  of  mildew  had  been  exchanged,  Dr.  Browne 
asked  for  an  explanation  why  a certain  rose  (Francois  Dubreuil),  which  was 
hopelessly  mildewed  in  one  position  was  absolutely  immune  when  trans- 
planted to  another  site  in  the  same  garden.  After  the  theory  was  explained,  Dr. 
Browne  wrote  to  say  that  the  second  position  was  where  the  wood  ashes  were 
regularly  tipped  by  his  gardener.  This  provides  another  instance  of  the 
presence  of  Potash  causing  the  absence  of  mildew. 

During  this  time  the  experiments  were  being  successfully  maintained,  but 
the  most  interesting  confirmation  came  from  a gardener  with  over  fifty  years’ 
experience.  Mr.  G.  W.  Commins,  of  Wagga,  N.S.W.,  declared  that  mildew

had  only  appeared  on  one  rose  (Her  Majesty,)  in  his  garden,  and  varieties 
like  George  Dickson,  Lady  Ashtown,  Mrs.  G.  Shawyer,  Dean  Hole,  Mildred 
Grant  and  Mrs.  Foley  Hobbs  were  quite  immune.  Naturally  a statement  of 
this  nature  demanded  the  closest  investigation.  It  had  been  thought  that  the 
mildew  immunity  was  caused  through  the  absence  of  clay  subsoil,  for  it  was 
argued  that  clay  caused  cold  conditions  for  the  roots  and  thereby  assisted 
mildew  development.  Undoubtedly  the  argument  has  considerable  force,  but 
if  altogether  correct,  then  sandy  soil  of  great  depth  ought  also  to  resist  mildew, 
as  sand  is  notoriously  warm  soil.  Yet  the  opposite  is  the  case,  for  mildew 
is  more  prevalent  on  sandy  soils  possibly  because  these  soils  are  nearly  always 
deficient  in  natural  Potash.  If  the  original  theory  is  to  be  taken  as  correct, 
then  the  Wagga  soil  ought  to  be  correspondingly  rich  in  Potash.  Mr.  Com- 
mins  willingly  supplied  two  samples,  the  first  being  surface  soil  which  had 
only  grown  grass  and  was  unmanured,  while  the  second  was  from  the  bottom 
of  a trench  two  feet  deep.  Mr.  E.  F.  Goode,  of  Messrs.  Glover  & Goode,  Pty., 
Ltd.,  made  a careful  analysis  as  follows:

It  will  be  noticed  that  the  total  potash  is  shown  as  3.79,  which  is  an 
almost  incredible  figure,  Some  local  explanation  is,  therefore,  necessary. 

The  garden  from  which  the  soil  was  taken  was  on  a river  flat  in  the  rich 

Riverina  district,  and  the  soil  was  mixed  with  small  granite  and  felspar  gravel. 
The  disintegration  of  these  would  release  a considerable  amount  of  potash. 
Dr.  Guthrie  found  that  of  the  3.79%  total  potash,  1.02%  and  1.09%  were 
immediately  available  for  plant  food  in  the  respective  samples. 

It  is  not  intended  to  convey  the  idea  that  this  amount  is  necessary  for 

mildew  immunity,  but  in  view  of  the  undoubted  success  of  the  other  experi- 

ments the  remedy  is  worthy  of  serious  consideration  by  all  rose  lovers  in 
every  part  of  the  world. 

It  will  naturally  be  asked  what  effect  potash  has  on  plant  growth.  Through 
the  courtesy  of  Mr.  W.  H.  Ifould,  Public  Librarian,  Sydney,  a vast  amount 
of  information  was  collected  on  the  subject  generally,  but  it  is  sufficient  to 
mention  just  a few  items. 

Chemistry  of  Plant  Life  (Thatcher),  1921.  Page  8.  “The  popular  ex- 
pression that  potash  makes  sugars  and  starch  is  a surprisingly  accurate  descrip- 
tion of  the  role  of  the  element  in  plant  metabolism.  Either  the  photosynthesis 
of  starch  or  the  changes  necessary  to  its  translocation  (it  is  not  yet  certain 
which)  is  so  dependent  on  the  presence  of  potassium  in  the  cell  sap  that  the 
whole  process  stops  at  once  if  an  insufficient  supply  is  present.”

Palladin  in  Plant  Physiology  says:— “Potassium  is  absolutely  essential.  It 
accompanies  carbohydrates,  and  is  supposed  to  promote  their  formation.” 

Fertilisers  and  Manures . (Hall),  1909.  Page  174.  “There  is  abundant 
experimental  evidence  to  show  that  potash  makes  the  plant  more  resistant  to 
the  attacks  of  fungoid  diseases.  It  has  already  been  explained  how  susceptible 
the  use  of  nitrogenous  manures  renders  the  mangolds  on  certain  of  the 
Rothamstead  plots  to  the  attack  of  a leaf  spot  fungus,  Uromyces  betae.  The 
attack  is,  however,  much  less  severe  on  the  plots  receiving  an  abundant  supply 
of  potash;  there  the  plant  remains  healthy,  even  though  the  nitrogen  is  in 
excess.  Just  in  the  same  way  the  wheat  on  the  potash-starved  plots  is  always 
subject  to  rust  even  in  a good  season,  when  very  little  is  to  be  seen  on  the 
plots  normally  manured.  The  grass  also  on  potash-starved  plots  is  attacked 
by  various  fungi;  hence  it  may  be  taken  as  a general  rule  that  crops  which 
do  not  receive  their  full  supply  of  potash  will  be  correspondingly  susceptible 
to  disease.” 

“One  of  the  effects  of  potash  on  the  plant  is  to  increase  its  vigour  and 
resistance  to  disease.  This  is  well  instanced  by  a result  reported  from 
Arkansas;  on  a control  plot  receiving  no  potash,  96%  of  the  cotton  plants 
died  from  wilt  disease,  whereas  on  the  plot  receiving  Kainit  not  a single 
plant  was  affected.” 

L.  E.  Rast,  J.  Amer.  Soc.  Agron.,  1922,  14,  222, 

G.  L.  Spinks,  “Factors  Affecting  Susceptibility  to  Disease  in  Plants.”  (Jour. 
Agr.  Science,  Yol.  5,  p.  231,  1915.) 

“In  his  observations  on  powdery  mildew  of  wheat  (Erysiphe  graminis), 
he  concludes  that  “Mineral  manure,  especially  potash,  decreased  susceptibility 
to  disease,  but  could  not  counteract  the  effect  of  nitrogenous  manures.” 

Freeman  Weiss,  in  an  abstract  of  the  proceedings  of  the  Annual  Meeting 
of  Pathologists  (Yol.  12,  p.  31,  1922),  mentions  that  the  addition  of  potassium 
Chloride  to  his  basic  three  salt  solutions  (in  which  the  plants  were  growing) 
resulted  in  retarded  infection. 

Butler,  in  Fungi  and  Disease  in  Plants,  p.  372,  correlates  potash  deficiency 
with  susceptibility  of  jute  to  attacks  of  Rhizoctonia  sp. 

These  references  indicate  that  in  plants,  as  in  animals,  the  well  nourished 
are  much  better  able  to  resist  disease,  and  potash  is  absolutely  essential  to  a 
plant’s  well  being. 

In  experimenting  with  this  new  remedy  for  mildew  it  is  not  known  how 
much  potash  may  be  applied  without  injury,  but  a start  may  be  made  with  a 
good  handful  of  potassium  sulphate  to  each  plant.  As  soils  vary  considerably 
in  their  natural  potash  content,  each  grower  must  decide  on  the  amount 
necessary  for  his  particular  conditions.  Commencing  with  the  amount  stated 
it  will  soon  be  seen  whether  the  quantity  will  need  increasing,  and  it  cer- 
tainly seems  as  if  total  immunity  is  possible  once  the  correct  proportion  is 
ascertained.  The  analysis  of  the  Wagga  soil  also  shows  a very  high  proportion 
of  phosphoric  acid,  and  this  factor  undoubtedly  accounts  for  the  very  high 
standard  of  quality  Mr.  Commins  achieved  with  his  rose  blooms.  Attention 
is  also  directed  to  the  high  proportion  of  magnesia,  and  this  possibly  also  has 
some  bearing  of  the  general  excellence  of  the  Wagga  soil. 

These  preliminary  experiments  are  published  to  the  rose  growing  world, 
in  the  hope  that  further  investigations  in  many  countries  will  firmly  establish 
the  theory,  that  the  conquest  of  mildew  lies  in  the  proper  nourishing  of  the 
plant  with  the  particular  reference  to  potash  manuring. 

Grateful  recognition  is  made  to  the  many  friends  without  whose  help  these 
experiments  would  have  lapsed.  Mr.  A.  V.  Luke,  Dr.  C.  S.  Browne,  Mr.  E.  F. 
Goode,  Dr.  T.  Guthrie,  Mr.  W.  H.  Ifould,  Dr.  Darnell-Smith,  and  Dr.  R.  J. 
Noble  (both  of  the  Department  of  Agriculture,  N.S.W.),  and  Mr.  G.  W. 
Commins,  all  rendered  valuable  service  in  the  interest  of  rose  growing.

AUSTRALIAN  RAISED  ROSES 

Almost  all  the  roses  grown  in  Australia  have  been  introduced  from  Europe, 
or  America.  Bred  for  totally  different  conditions  of  climate,  it  is  not  surprising 
that  many  have  been  discarded  almost  as  soon  as  they  have  flowered.  The 
time  is  coming  when  much  of  this  disappointment  will  be  avoided,  by  planting 
roses  bred  for  and  tested  under  Australian  conditions,  before  being  catalogued. 
It  is  not  too  much  to  say  that  Australia  possesses  the  finest  climate  in  the 
world  for  raising  new  roses  and  extensive  developments  in  this  direction  may 
be  looked  for  in  the  near  future.  Four  new  varieties  are  offered  here  and  a 
list  of  the  best  sorts  to  date  is  appended. 

Novelties  for  1925 — Descriptions  Supplied  by  Raisers 

DAYDREAM  (H.T.)  (Alister  Clark). — This  rose  has  good  foliage  and  vigour, 
with  most  beautiful  flowers,  resembling  large  water  lilies  of  blush  pink 
shading.  It  is  quite  distinct  and  lasts  well  when  cut,  and  is  of  the 
semi-double  class  that  in  Europe  and  America  is  most  popuar  of  all. 
It  makes  a large  bush  or  pillar  and  has  been  well  tested  at  “Glenara.” 
3/6  each. 

ELLA  SCOTT. — A Wichuraiana  climbing  rose  of  special  merit,  being  a strong 
grower  with  mildew  proof  foliage.  The  flowers  are  produced  in  trusses 
of  fifteen  to  twenty  flowers.  The  colour  is  deep  rosy  pink  approaching  red. 
It  is  a decided  acquisition  to  its  class  and  quite  distinct  from  any  other 
variety.  Awarded  Certificate  of  Merit  N.R.S.V.  This  rose  was  raised  by 
Mr.  G.  J.  Scott  of  Coburg,  Victoria,  who  has  donated  the  proceeds  from 
the  sale  of  the  plants  to  the  National  Rose  Society  in  that  State.  3/6  each. 
E.  J.  MOLLER  (H.T.)  (Moller). — Intense  red  deepening  towards  black.  Its 
sheen  imparts  a brilliancy  to  the  colour  which  is  most  striking,  especially 
in  the  cool  season.  The  blooms  are  large,  full,  and  free,  produced  on 
strong  rigid  stems,  always  opening  well.  It  has  clean  reddish  and  almost 
thornless  wood.  The  growth  is  good  and  robust,  with  mildew  proof 
foliage.  3/6  each. 

MILKMAID  (Hyb.  Nois.)  (Alister  Clark). — A very  vigorous  climbing  rose 
with  good  foliage  and  habit.  In  spring  it  carries  large  trusses  of  creamy 
yellow  flowers  having  a strong  perfume,  and  it  sets  quantities  of  seed 
pods  in  winter.  Mr.  H.  R.  Darlington  tested  this  rose  in  England  for 
Mr.  Alister  Clark,  and  it  was  quite  a feature  in  his  winning  stand  of  decora- 
tives  in  London  last  summer,  its  scent  being  very  noticeable.  3/6  each.

impression  of  open  bloom  is  a Sunny  South  pink. 

CLIMBING  HOOSIER  BEAUTY  (H.T.)  (Western  Rose  Co.).— A vigorous 
climbing  sport  of  the  popular  dwarf  of  this  name.  It  is  identical  as

fragrant  it  is  sure  of  a high  place  in  the  esteem  of  discerning  rose  growers. 
4/-  each.  Highly  recommended. 

CLIMBING  MRS.  G.  SHAWYER. — To  the  exhibitor  the  climbing  sports  are  ex- 
tremely valuable  as  they  invariably  produce  better  blooms  than  the  original 
dwarf  parent.  Mrs.  G.  Shawyer  ranks  as  one  of  the  very  best  pink  show 
varieties,  and  a genuine  vigorous  climbing  sport  will  be  invaluable.  4/- 
each.  No  further  recommendation  necessary. 

CLOYELLY  (H.T.)  (Hicks). — Buds  carried  on  a very  long  upright,  stiff  neck, 
opening  to  flowers  of  perfect  form,  petals  reflexed.  Rich  carmine  rose,

thorns;  foliage  leathery,  rich  green,  disease  resistant;  continuous  bloomer. 
4/-  each.  Highly  recommended. 

DAISY  (H.T.)  (Hicks). — May  be  described  as  a semi-double  orange  flamed 
“Daily  Mail  Rose,”  wonderfully  free,  very  branching  habit,  strong  grower 
and  a useful  distinct  garden  variety.  4/-  each. 

DORIS  TRAYLER  (H.T.)  (McGredy). — In  the  young  stage  the  flowers  are 
orange  cadmium,  the  outside  of  petals  being  heavily  flushed  crimson  red 
and  deep  orange.  As  the  flower  expands  the  whole  colour  changes  to  a 
deeper  amber  yellow  which  does  not  fade.  Flowers  full.  The  habit  of 
growth  is  very  free,  and  branching,  breaking  and  flowering  from  every  eye,

delightful  fragrance.  Awarded  Certificate  of  Merit,  National  Rose  So- 
ciety Summer  Show,  1923.  4/-  each.  A very  refined  variety,  but  showing 
considerable  mildew.

Superior  Arnold  Jansen.”  The  colour  is  quite  constant,  and  a very 
pleasing  shade.  A good  acquisition.  4/-  each.  Rich  colour,  but  liable 
to  fade.  Otherwise  identical  with  parent. 

ILE  DE  FRANCE  (Wich.)  (Aug.  Nonin.). — Flower  crimson  red  with  white 
centre,  large  semi-double,  produced  in  enormous  trusses,  most  effective. 
4/-  each.  Not  flowered  yet. 

INSULINDE  (H.T.)  (Rossem.). — Colour  clear  yellow  with  golden  yellow  and 
apricot  shadings;  flowers  large,  full  and  opening  freely;  habit  of  growth 
and  foliage  similar  to  “Melody,”  which  is  one  of  its  parents,  but  more 
erect  and  stronger;  a fine  decorative  rose,  excellent  as  a garden  variety. 
4/-  each.  Leenders  & Co.,  another  Dutch  firm,  sent  out  in  the  same

not  be  confused  with  John  Hart,  sent  out  by  Hicks  in  1922. 

JOAN  HOWARTH  (H.T.)  (Bees.  Ltd.). — For  purity  and  delicacy  of  tint 
there  is  hardly  any  comparison  to  be  made  to  this  rose.  The  most 
delicate  tones  of  shell  and  rose  pink  blend  with  glowing  carmine;  and

grower,  with  a good,  vigorous  habit,  and  clean,  glossy  foliage.  The  per-

tion, and  exhibition.  4/-  each.  The  first  plants  imported  turned  out  to 
be  Dorothy  Howarth.  The  second  lot  have  flowered  true  to  colour,  but 
more  time  must  be i given  for  them  to  show  true  form.

superior.  In  the  matter  of  fragrance  alone  this  rose  would  be  notable,

to  Silver  Columbia  sent  out  by  another  grower.  We  think  that  this  will 
prove  a valuable  addition  as  it  is  in  all  other  respects  equal  to  Columbia.

throughout  the  season.  Ramona  in  every  respect,  but  colour  is  identical 
with  Sinica  Anemone,  but  is  a much  deeper  pink;  in  fact,  may  be  called

qualities  and  serious  faults.  There  is  a rich  orange  flush  through  the  crim- 
son at  the  base,  while  at  times  the  blooms  show  a very  rich  sheen.  Some- 
times the  colour  is  rich  as  Chateau  de  Clos  Vougeot  at  others  a hideous 
purple  shade.  Recommended  for  trial. 

SHOT  SILK  (H.T.)  (A.  Dickson  & Sons). — The  colourings  of  this  beautiful 
rose  are  very  difficult  to  portray;  they  may  be  described  as  bright  cherry- 
cerise  over  shot  with  salmon  orange,  flushed  rose,  and  a deeply  veined 
clear  buttercup  yellow  base.  The  growth  is  vigorous  and  free  branching 
with  beautiful  glossy,  clear  cedar  green  foliage  immune  from  mildew.  It

large  and  full.  A Very  free  and  effective  decorative  variety;  growth 
vigorous.  4/-  each. 

VICTORIA  (H.T.)  (Prince). — A new  strong-growing,  very  early  flowering 
variety.  Colour  rose  pink,  shaded  cerise.  This  rose  is  especially  valuable 
for  its  perfume,  which  is  of  the  true  old  fashioned  type.  The  plant  is 
very  vigorous,  hardy,  doing  well  in  any  position,  exposed  or  otherwise. 
It  grows  into  a large  bush.  4/-  each.  Upright  growth,  not  flowered  yet. 

VISCOUNTESS  DEVONPORT  (H.T.)  (E.  J.  Hicks).— This  excellent  rose  can 
safely  be  described  as  an  improved  “Mrs.  Aaron  Ward,”  it  having  the  same 
form  of  flower,  but  much  finer.  Rich  Indian  yellow,  compact  growth  and 
sweetly  scented.  4/-  each.  Very  rich  colour,  but  fades  badly  in  hot  weather. 
Semi-double. 

WESTFIELD  BEAUTY  (H.T.)  (H.  Morse).— For  bedding  purposes  it  will  be 
difficult  to  beat;  colour  a deep  coppery  apricot  overlaid  with  golden  tints; 
shape  is  perfect;  of  fair  substance;  opens  well  in  any  weather.  Good 
grower.  4/-  each.  Centre  petals  rather  narrow.  Liable  to  mildew. 

WHITE  ORLEANS  (Poly.)  ( ). — A pure  white  sport  of  this  well-known 

variety.  As  there  has  been  no  white  variety  in  this  type  this  should 
prove  a decided  acquisition.  4/-  each.  Good  clean  colour. 

WILLIAM  BOWYER  (H.T.)  (Chaplin  Bros.). — Dark  velvety  red;  a good  bed- 
ding rose.  This  rose  resembles  Miss  C.  E.  Van  Rossem  in  colour,  but  is 
borne  on  longer  stems  and  is  much  more  sweetly  scented.  4/-  each. 

YELLOW  BEDDER  (H.T.)  (Rossem). — Colour  a fine  sulphur  yellow  chang- 
ing to  creamy  yellow  when  the  blooms  expand;  flowers  large  and  full; 
foliage  of  a clear  grass  green  colour;  bushy  habit;  healthy  growth; 
one  of  the  best  clear  yellow  bedding  roses.  4/-  each.  Semi-double,  fades 
to  white.  Very  thorny.  Compact  growth. 

I have  pleasure  in  acknowledging,  with  many  thanks,  the  parcel  of  roses 

you  forwarded  to  me,  and  congratulate  you  on  the  splendid  manner  in  which 

they  were  packed.  Hitherto  I have  refrained  from  ordering  from  Sydney, 

being  afraid  that  they  would  be  knocked  about  in  transit. — H.C.,  Brisbane,  Qld.

NEW  ROSES,  1924 

After  a second  season’s  trial  in  which  all  varieties  had  equal  chances,  we 

have  kept  the  following  list  as  the  best  to  date.  Should  any  of  those  left  out 

strike  good  form  at  a later  stage  they  will  be  specially  mentioned  in  next 

year’s  catalogue. 

Price  2/6  each;  27/-  dozen.  Postage  extra. 

ALICE  AMOS  (Poly.)  (Jan  Spek,  1922),  1. — Single  flowers  of  a beautiful 
cherry-pink  with  white  eye,  borne  in  large  trusses.  Growth  strong.  “Tip 
Top  x Seedling.”  Awarded  Certificate  of  Merit.  A dwarf  American 
Pillar.  This  variety  has  attracted  a lot  of  attention  in  the  nursery.  Highly 
recommended  for  beds  and  low  hedges. 

AMELIA  GUDE  (H.T.)  (F.  H.  Lemon,  1923),  F.3. — A unique  and  charming 
yellow  rose;  colour  of  Sunburst,  with  deeper  shadings  on  the  reverse. 
The  blooms  have  an  individual  beauty  not  always  found  in  the  big  buds 
of  the  modern  varieties;  it  is  not  a large  rose,  but  of  good  medium  size. 
It  is  ideal  for  table  decorations  and  the  blooms  are  always  a first  choice 
with  many  lady  customers;  it  keeps  well.  The  colour  fades  like  all  yel- 
lows, but  not  as  badly  as  Sunburst.  Recommended  highly. 

BEAUTE  DE  FRANCE  (H.T.)  (Toussaint  Mille  Fils,  1920),  F.2  or  3.— Flower 
creamy  white  passing  to  pure  white,  inside  of  petals  deep  yellow,  large,  full, 
of  fine  form,  fragrant.  Growth  vigorous,  very  hardy,  handsome  deep 
green  foliage.  After  the  style  of  Joseph  Hill,  but  a better  grower.  Medium 
size.  Promising. 

BETTY  HULTON  (H.T.)  (A.  Dickson,  1923).— A washed  out  light  yellow 
colour  when  it  does  flower.  Growth  decidedly  poor.  Cannot  recommend. 

CAPTAIN  F.  S.  HARVEY  CANT  (H.T.)  (Cant,  1923),  F.2.— Rich  salmon  pink, 
faintly  veined  with  scarlet  and  suffused  with  yellow,  flowers  large,  fairly 
full,  of  magnificent  build  with  high  pointed  centre,  of  great  substance, 
sweetly  perfumed,  suitable  for  exhibition  and  bedding  purposes.  Mildews, 
and  some  of  the  blooms  show  a tendency  to  divide. 

CAPTAIN  RONALD  CLERK  (H.T.)  (McGredy,  1923),  F.2.— Free  bushy 
growth,  colour  brilliant  vermilion,  shaded  orange,  with  orange  base,  blooms 
almost  single,  buds  of  great  length  and  pointed,  sweetly  scented.  Very  rich 
colour  somewhat  approaching  Austrian  Copper.  Peculiar  perfume.  Large 
red  thorns  and  red  stems.  Good  foliage. 

CHAMISSO  (Lambertiana)  (P.  Lambert,  1922),  F.4  or  5. — A fine  ever  flowering 
rose,  with  dark,  red  shoots,  and  reddish  green  foliage,  flowers  small,  moder- 
ately full,  colour  pink,  on  a large  pale  yellow  ground,  buds  yellow  and 
orange  red,  blooming  in  large  clusters,  every  shoot  finishing  in  a flower 
spike,  sweetly  scented.  General  impression  of  flower,  pale  yellow  or 
creamy  white  with  pink  tinge  on  outside  petals.  Probably  much  better  in 
a cooler  climate. 

CLIMBING  COLUMBIA  (H.T.)  (Totty,  1923),  F.6. — A vigorous  climbing 
sport  of  this  popular  variety  which  we  have  had  under  observation  for 
three  years.  The  flowers  are  identical  in  colour,  shape,,  fragrance  and 
lasting  qualities  with  those  of  the  parent  and  will  provide  a new  shade 
in  climbers.  Highly  recommended. 

CLIMBING  GENERAL  MACARTHUR  (H.T.)  (H.  Dickson,  1923),  F.6.— 

Perhaps  no  climbing  sport  of  recent  years  will  be  so  generally  welcome 
as  this,  which  possesses  all  the  good  points  of  the  parent.  Genuine, 
vigorous  climbing  growth.  Recommended  as  a fragrant  mildew  proof 
red  climber.

HAZLEWOOD  BROS. 


CLIMBING  MRS.  HERBERT  STEVENS  (H.T.)  (Pernet  Ducher,  1922),  6.— 
A very  vigorous,  large,  fairly  full  snow  white  flower,  a sport  from  “Mrs. 
Herbert  Stevens.”  This  variety  which  is  very  hardy  will  prove  superior  for 
open  ground  culture  to  Climbing  Niphetos.  True  climber.  Needs  no 
further  recommendation.  Mildews  like  the  parent. 

COURAGE  (H.T.)  (McGredy,  1923),  F.2. — Colour,  shade  and  form  is  that  of 
the  H.P.  “Duke  of  Wellington”  with  the  freedom  of  bloom  and  habit  of 
the  Hybrid  Tea.  Sweetly  scented.  Very  liable  to  mildew,  short  in  petal 
and  growth  generally.  For  exhibition  only. 

DAVID  GILMORE  (H.T.)  (H.  Dickson,  1923),  3. — Vigorous  growth,  flowers 
very  large,  full,  and  well  formed.  Colour  brilliant  scarlet  red,  opening 
freely  in  all  weathers.  The  plants  under  observation  were  covered  with 
mildew.  Blooms  fade  and  blue  badly.  Recommended  for  exhibitors  only. 

ELVIRA  ARAMAYO  (Pernet)  (P.  J.  Looymans  & Zonen,  1922),  2.— Semi- 
double flowers  of  an  Indian  red  colour.  Moderate  growth  and  fairly 
free  flowering.  Blooms  not  large  or  specially  good  shape.  Does  better 
on  standards. 

EVELYN  MURLAND  (H.T.)  (A.  Dickson,  1923),  F.2. — The  outside  petals  are 
shot  pink  and  coral  red,  suffused  and  lined  orange;  the  inside  of  petals 
intense  salmon  pink  and  cochineal  veined  yellow  with  deep  yellow  base. 
The  growth  is  vigorous,  erect  and  free,  with  dark  green  and  glossy  foliage, 
flowering  freely  and  continuously  throughout  the  season.  The  blooms  are 
strongly  tea  perfumed,  of  large  size,  semi-double,  and  well  formed,  petals 
large,  round  and  smooth.  Pernetiana  origin.  Mildews.  Better  in  cool 
climate. 

FEU  JOSEPH  LOOYMANS  (Per.)  (P.  J.  Looymans  & Zonen,  1922),  2.— 
Flower  yellow,  with  vivid  apricot,  giving  a brilliant  effect  in  the  centre; 
large,  fairly  full;  buds  well  formed,  long  and  pointed,  resembling  “Sun- 
burst.” Growth  strong,  straight  and  bushy.  Good  on  standards. 

FLORENCE  L.  IZZARD  (H.T.)  (McGredy,  1923),  F.2.— Deep  pure  buttercup 
yellow,  blooms  semi-double,  long  and  pointed,  of  fine  substance,  perfect 
form,  and  delightfully  scented,  foliage  mildew  proof.  Not  extra  large 
in  bloom  and  only  moderate  growth. 

GWYNETH  (Hybrid  Polyantha)  (Easlea,  1923),  1. — Canary  yellow  lined  crim- 
son on  outside.  Small  single  blooms  of  good  shape,  but  the  colour  fades 
to  white  on  opening. 

HAWLMARK  SCARLET  (H.T.)  (A.  Dickson,  1923),  F.2.— Colour  a brilliant 
scarlet  which  at  its  best  is  very  good,  but  it  can  get  very  hard.  The  blooms 
are  well  formed,  of  medium  size,  and  very  sweetly  scented.  When  fully 
open  petals  turn  back  like  Red  Letter  Day,  otherwise  a good  full  bodied 
variety.  Must  not  be  confused  with  Hawlmark  Crimson.  The  growth  has 
been  somewhat  disappointing  this  season,  but  it  may  improve  on  proper 
acclimatisation. 

IDEAL  (Dwarf  Poly.)  (Jan  Spek,  1922),  1. — Flower  beautiful  dark  crimson 
at  times  scarlet,  under  glass  the  blooms  are  almost  black.  A sport  from 
“Miss  Edith  Cavell,”  and  in  growth  somewhat  similar.  Will  burn  slightly 
in  very  hot  weather,  but  is  easily  the  best  dark  Polyantha  to  date.  Highly 
recommended. 

JAMES  WALLEY  (H.T.)  (Easlea,  1923),  F.3. — A coppery  golden  pedigree 
seedling  from  Ophelia,  with  fuller  blooms.  Promising  very  well. 

LADY  DIXON  HARTLAND  (H.T.)  (Cant  & Sons,  1923),  F.3.— Strong  upright 
growth,  colour  deepest  salmon  in  centre,  shading  to  pale  pink  on  the 
outer  petals;  flowers  long  and  pointed,  opening  well,  and  sweetly  scented. 
Only  moderately  full.

LADY  ROUNDWAY  (Per.)  (Cant  & Sons,  1923),  F.2.— Moderate  growth,

size,  full,  with  very  large  smooth  petals  of  great  depth  and  substance. 
A fine  exhibition  bloom  with  high  pointed  centre.  The  colour  is  rich 
crimson  suffused  with  scarlet,  but  blues  and  fades  badly.  Mildews. 

MABEL  TURNER  (H.T.)  (H.  Dickson,  1923),  3. — Vigorous  branching  growth, 
flowers  very  large,  full,  and  well  formed,  with  high  pointed  centre;  colour 
warm  deep  salmon  pink,  with  reflexed  petals.  Liable  to  fade  and  is 
not  free  from  mildew.  Good  shape  and  promising  well. 

MAMA  LAMESCH  (H.T.)  (P.  Lambert,  1922),  F.3. — Deep  shrimp  pink,  very 
large,  of  beautiful  pointed  form,  generally  borne  singly  on  erect  stems. 

MAUD  CUMING  (H.T.)  (A.  Dickson,  1923). — The  blooms  are  large,  fairly  full 
and  nice  globular  form,  with  high  centre.  The  colours  are  delicate  peach 
shaded  with  coral  pink,  suffused  and  veined  orange,  the  base  of  petals 
deep  orange.  Pernetiana  origin. 

MRS.  BECKWITH  (Per.)  (J.  Pernet  Ducher,  1922),  F.2. — Moderate  grower, 
of  erect  branching  habit,  long  bud,  medium  sized,  fairly  full  flower; 
colour  buttercup  yellow,  lighter  on  edges  of  petals,  without  any  other 
shading.  Not  as  good  as  Souv.  de  Claudius  Pernet. 

MRS.  COURTNEY  PAGE  (Per.)  (McGredy,  1923),  F.2. — Orange  cerise,  with 
carmine  shading  towards  the  base,  perfect  shape  and  sweetly  scented.

MRS.  WM.  SERGENT  (H.T.)  (H.  Dickson,  1923),  2. — Flowers  large,  full  and 
splendidly  formed,  colour  apricot  and  peach,  very  heavily  flushed  rose 
pink  towards  the  edge  of  the  petals,  which  are  nicely  reflexed.  A garden 
rose  and  useful  exhibition  flower.  Somewhat  after  the  colour  of  Esme,  but 
fuller  and  deeper.

lightly  shaded  lemon,  large,  full,  perfectly  shaped,  carried  on  a good 
stiff  stem;  highly  tea  perfumed.  Gained  a Card  of  Commendation 
just  before  the  war  and  has  been  held  over  for  dissemination  nearly  12 
years.  Growth  only  moderate,  centre  divides,  and  a great  similarity 
to  White  Maman  Cochet  are  its  main  faults. 

NUR  MAHAL  (The  Fairy  of  the  Palace)  (Hyb.  Musk)  (Pemberton,  1923), 
F.5. — Carmine  crimson  of  medium  size  and  produced  freely  on  long 
arching  shoots.  Musk  perfume. 

PRESIDENT  CHERIOUX  (Per.)  (J.  Pernet  Ducher,  1922),  2 or  3.— A vigorous 
grower,  of  erect  branching  habit,  bronzy  green  foliage,  long  bud,  very 
large,  full  globular  flower  on  fairly  stiff  stalk,  coral  red  bud  shaded  with 
yellow  at  the  base.  An  improved  Lyon  in  shape  and  stem.  Not  quite 
so  dark.  It  is  liable  to  die  back  but  on  Standards  in  a dry  climate  will 
be  better.

bright  pink,  border  of  petals  tinted  purplish  mauve,  inside  of  petals  rosy

HAZLEWOOD  BROS. 


SOUVENIR  DE  H.  A.  VERSCHUREN  (H.T.)  (H.  A.  Verschuren  & Zonen, 
1922),  F.2. — Cadmium  yellow  passing  to  orange  yellow,  very  large,  fairly 
full  of  exquisite  form  and  finish,  borne  singly  on  rigid  flower  stalks. 
Growth  similar  to  “Sunburst,”  but  much  thicker,  larger  and  stronger. 
This  rose  which  possesses  a very  strong  and  delicious  perfume  is  said 
to  be  superior  to  all  others  in  this  class,  having  perfect  cutting  and  forcing 
qualities.  Very  promising. 

SOYECOURT  (H.T.)  (The  Jersey  Nurseries,  1921),  3. — Blood  red  overlaid 
vermilion.  Growth  vigorous;  continuous  flowering.  Vigorous  clean  growth,

S.S.  PENNOCK  (H.T.)  (W.  Kordes  & Sohne,  1922),  3.— Glowing  cerise.  The 
immense  flowers  with  high  pointed  centres  and  fine  pointed  buds  have 
been  described  as  an  improvement  on  Mrs.  Geo.  Shawyer.  Mildews 
badly.  Darker  than  Shawyer,  good  growth,  no  perfume.  Promising  well 
but  liable  to  ball  and  blue.

a golden  yellow  ground,  gradually  toning  to  golden  yellow,  striped  with

Praise  for  Our  Expert  Packing 

The  parcels  of  rose  trees  and  Hibiscus  arrived  in  very  good  order.  We 
have  to  thank  you  for  the  care  taken  in  packing  and  for  your  prompt  despatch 
of  the  plants. — R.S.,  Botanic  Gardens,  Rockhampton,  Queensland. 

Parcel  to  hand  to-day  in  good  order  and  condition,  which  speaks  volumes 
for  your  packing,  considering  the  journey,  the  time  they  have  been  lifted, 
and  the  condition  they  are  in  is  wonderful.  I am  more  than  pleased  with 
them. — A.F.L.,  Bridgetown,  Western  Australia. 

The  Azaleas  and  other  plants  arrived  safely  some  time  ago.  They 
were  fine  plants,  and  splendidly  packed. — A.A.,  Gordon,  15th  November,  1924. 

I am  in  receipt  of  your  parcel  of  roses,  which  came  to  hand  this  after- 
noon in  excellent  condition,  and  exceedingly  fine  plants. — A.H.M.,  New 
Lambton,  25th  July,  1924. 

All  the  plants  sent  by  you  arrived  in  splendid  condition,  and  were 
excellently  packed. — J.M.,  Parramatta,  3rd  June,  1924. 

I wish  to  thank  you  for  the  second  parcel  of  roses  which,  like  the  first,

I have  to  thank  you  for  the  care  taken  in  the  packing,  and  prompt 
sending. — Mrs.  M.P.,  Leichhardt,  6th  May,  1924. 

The  plants  opened  up  very  well  indeed,  the  wrapping  being  still  slightly 
damp,  the  parcel,  in  fact,  demonstrating  every  care. — E.R.A.,  Bowen,  Qld. 

I must  again  compliment  you  on  your  method  of  packing,  and  the  fine, 
healthy,  well-grown  plants  you  sent. — J.  Pryor,  Broken  Hill. 

I received  the  parcel  safely.  The  plants  and  packing  are  all  that  could 
be  desired. — W.S.,  Norwood,  South  Australia. 

The  last  rose  trees  arrived  in  splendid  order,  for  which  many  thanks. 
All  the  previous  ones  I have  had  from  you  are  all  coming  out  in  leaf,  and  are 
looking  particularly  well  and  I hope  to  have  a very  good  show  of  roses. 
Not  one  I have  had  from  you  has  died  off,  or  gone  back  in  the  least. — Mrs. 
C.  F.  D.,  Werris  Creek,  N.S.W.

GENERAL  LIST 

This  includes  Teas  and  Hybrid  Teas  only,  in  order  of  the  number  of  plants 
sold  by  us  in  1924.  Hybrid  Perpetuals,  Climbers,  Polyantha  and  Pernetiana  var- 
ieties are  in  separate  classes.  The  index  on  pages  103,  102  and  103  will  show  where 
to  find  the  description  of  any  variety  included.  If  the  variety  you  want  is  not  in 
the  index  it  has  been  omitted  for  a very  good  reason. 

It  is  particularly  requested  that  if  plants  are  ordered  by  their  position  num- 
bers, that  the  DATE  of  the  Catalogue  be  mentioned,  as  places  and  numbers  change 
each  year. 

The  letter  “F”  after  the  raiser’s  name  signifies  the  variety  is  fragrant;  while 
the  numbers  immediately  following  refer  to  the  habit  of  growth,  from  which  may 
be  determined  the  position  a plant  should  occupy  in  the  garden. 

In  response  to  several  requests  we  are  altering  the  growth  numbers,  so  as  to 
make  them  uniform  and  more  easily  memorised.  See  slip  for  explanation  of  all 
reference  letters  and  numbers. 

1.  Representing  the  smallest  growers  such  as  Polypoms  for  front  rows  or 

small  hedges.  These  may  be  planted  18  to  24  inches  apart. 

2.  This  class  comprises  the  moderate  growing  varieties,  which  are  suitable 

for  a second  row,  and  which  at  maturity  would  be  quite  far  enough 
apart  at  2 to  3 ft. 

3.  Vigorous  growers  of  moderate  height,  suitable  for  a 3rd  row,  and  which 

generally  require  4 ft.  of  space  unless  they  are  of  narrow  upright 
growth  like  the  Hybrid  Perpetuals. 

4.  This  section  takes  in  all  the  tall  rampant  growing,  non  climbing  sorts 

which  must  be  placed  in  the  back  row  if  the  best  effect  is  to  be 
gained.  Varieties  like  Maman  Cochet  and  Marie  Van  Houtte  would 
require  fi  to  8 ft.  at  maturity,  and  should  never  be  planted  closer 
than  4 ft.,  even  in  young  gardens. 

5.  Moderate  climbers  generally  called  Pillar  Roses  for  furnishing  the  sup- 

ports of  arches  or  pergolas. 

6.  Extra  vigorous  climbers  which  would  cover  higher  structures  than  those 

those  mentioned  in  No.  5. 

The  letters  at  the  end  of  the  description  refer  to  the  climatological  map,  and 
are  an  indication  that  the  variety  has  been  proved  suitable  for  the  particular  divi- 
sion. Where  there  is  no  reference  it  may  be  taken  for  granted  that  the  variety  has 
either  been  proved  unsuitable  or  has  not  been  tested  by  our  correspondents.  “E” 
signifies  suitable  everywhere. 

It  is  our  earnest  endeavour  to  help  our  customers  to  get  better  roses,  and  criti- 
cism and  comment  on  any  variety’s  success  under  special  treatment  will  be  wel- 
comed. This  information  will  be  used  to  improve  next  year’s  Catalogue,  and  must 
inevitably  make  for  better  satisfaction  and  greater  recompense  for  the  labour  of 
every  rose  lover. 

Prices. — 1/6  each,  16/-  dozen;  50  or  more  at  the  rate  of  £6  per  100.  In  order 
to  secure  the  advantage  of  these  reduced  rates,  buyers  must  take  the  whole  order 
at  one  time  in  one  consignment.  For  instance,  five  parcels  of  ten  plants  each 
sent  at  intervals  will  be  charged  at  dozen  and  not  hundred  rates.  Postage  or 
freight  extra  on  dwarf  and  climbing  plants.  N.S.W.  postage:  1 plant,  6d.;  6 plants, 
about  1/-.  Interstate:  1 plant,  8tl.;  6 plants,  about  1/8. 

Any  surplus  money  will  be  returned  either  in  stamps  or  extra  plants. 

(1)  COLUMBIA  (H.T.)  (E.  G.  Hill,  1917),  F.3.— This  variety  was  one 

of  the  first  sorts  imported  into  Australia  with  a definite  record  of  its 
achievements  under  scientific  testing.  It  may  safely  be  claimed  that 
it  will  not  be  long  before  many  other  sorts  are  similarly  introduced, 
and  it  is  to  be  hoped  that  Test  Gardens  will  be  established  in  all 
the  leading  rose  growing  centres.  At  the  Portland  Test  Garden,  in 
U.S.A.,  this  variety  secured  a phenomenal  success  in  getting  the  possible 
number  of  marks  for  all  the  essential  gardening  qualities.  For  colour, 
fragrance,  lasting  qualities,  substance,  petalage,  size,  freedom  of  bloom, 
hardiness,  disease  resistance  of  foliage  and  growth  it  was  found  to  be 
excellent.  It  did  not  gain  full  marks  for  novelty,  shape  or  stem.  In 
colour  it  is  a rich  deep  pink  which  has  the  valuable  quality  of  deepen- 
ing as  the  flower  ages.  This  is  quite  contrary  to  the  ordinary  run.  The 
fragrance  is  rich  and  powerful.  It  is  particularly  free  blooming  and

markedly  resistant  to  diseases,  and  the  stems  in  this  climate  are  all 
that  can  be  desired.  Like  all  other  roses  it  has  its  faults  and  its 
greatest  would  be  in  the  crippled  shape  of  the  flowers,  which  shows 
generally  in  the  late  spring.  It  has  been  found,  however,  that  in 
every  instance  where  the  plants  receive  copious  weekly  waterings  this 
fault  does  not  assert  itself,  and  it  certainly  seems  that  this  valuable 
variety  may  have  its  worst  fault  comparatively  easily  overcome.  Al- 
though only  imported  into  Australia  six  years  ago  it  has  secured  a 
phenomenal  success,  and  has  improved  its  position  in  the  New  South 
Wales  Rose  Society’s  recommendations,  and  is  now  in  second  place, 
being  equal  with  Madame  Abel  Chatenay,  Rev.  F.  Page  Roberts,  Hadley, 
and  General  MacArthur.  It  was  voted  into  the  first  18  in  Queensland, 
and  just  missed  inclusion  into  the  Victorian  Argus  list  by  4 votes. 
It  is  particularly  good  as  a decorator’s  rose,  as  the  double  blooms  last 
fully  a week  in  water,  and  the  colour  is  first  rate  under  artificial  light. 
As  grown  for  the  last  four  years  in  the  Domain  Garden,  Sydney,  it  has 
proved  itself  one  of  the  very  best  for  all  garden  purposes,  and  will  be 
in  bloom  after  each  cutting  back  at  least  two  weeks  before  most  other 
varieties. 

A climbing  sport  is  also  offered  which  has  been  thoroughly  tested, 
and  which  provides  a new  colour  in  sweet  scented,  mildew  proof 
climbers.  Recommended  for  all  climates  as  a very  fine  variety. 

(2)  HADLEY  (H.T.)  (Montgomery,  1914),  F.3. — No  other  dark  red  rose 
has  attained  such  a widespread  popularity  in  Australia  as  Hadley.  Its 
vigorous  growth,  long  stems,  mildew  proof  foliage,  large,  full  blooms 
and  rich  fragrance  have  won  it  a place  quite  above  other  varieties. 
In  spite  of  the  very  serious  fault  of  bluing,  Hadley  still  occupies  a high 
position  in  the  rose  growing  centres  of  Australia.  It  is  equal  second 
with  several  others  in  the  New  South  Wales  list,  it  is  recommended 
by  the  Victorian  Society  as  11th  in  a list  of  12  Garden  Roses,  it  comes 
in  the  2nd  twelve  in  the  Argus  vote  in  the  same  State,  and  is  third  in 
a list  of  24  in  the  Queensland  voting.  The  shape  is  not  always  ideal, 
but  up  to  the  present  it  is  easily  the  best  dark  red,  sweet  scented, 
mildew  resistant  garden  rose  available.  If  it  has  any  competitors  in 
this  respect  they  may  be  mentioned  in  Hoosier  Beauty  or  Etoile  de 
Hollande.  We  recommend  planting  a whole  bed  of  the  variety,  or  it 
may  be  used  with  equal  success  for  hedge  purposes,  when  large 
quantities  of  bloom  of  the  one  shade  of  colour  may  be  gathered  and 
effectively  used  for  all  classes  of  home  decoration.  E. 

(3)  RADIANCE  (H.T.)  (Cook,  1908),  F.4. — It  is  significant  that  this  is  the 

third  variety  of  American  origin  occupying  one  of  the  premier  positions 
from  a sales  point  of  view.  Its  popularity  with  N.S.W.  growers  is  indi- 
cated by  the  fact  that  it  is  again  placed  first  in  the  plebiscite  for  the 
Eighteen  Best  Garden  Roses,  a position  which  ithas  held  since  1918. 
It  is  fourth  in  the  Queensland  list  of  24,  and  although  very  little 
known  in  Victoria  it  received  12  votes  in  the  plebiscite  recently  con- 
ducted by  the  Argus.  The  colour  is  somewhat  striking  in  that  the 
inside  of  the  petals  shows  a silvery  pink,  while  the  exterior  is  carmine, 
shaded  light  pink.  No  claim  is  made  for  exhibition  shape  for  this 
variety,  but  its  phenomenal  production  of  long  stemmed,  fragrant 
blooms  puts  it  in  a position  quite  on  its  own  from  a garden  point  of 
view.  In  the  Sydney  climate  it  is  easily  the  best  winter  bloomer,  and  is 
magnificent  for  bowl  decoration.  In  the  hot  dry  climate  of  A.  there 
is  a tendency  for  the  flower  to  burn  in  summer,  but  if  picked  in  the  bud 
stage  and  allowed  to  open  in  the  house,  this  fault  is  easily  overcome. 
The  plants  are  very  vigorous  in  growth,  with  mildew  proof  foliage 
and  fragrant,  double  flowers.  Its  trial  is  recommended  in  other  cli- 
mates for  garden  decoration  and  cut  flower  purposes.  Reports  from 
Tasmania,  Victoria,  and  hot  dry  districts  are  alike  favourable.  It 
is  erroneously  called  Reliance  by  some  growers  in  Brisbane.  E.

(4)  REV.  F.  PAGE  ROBERTS  <H.T.)  (B.  R.  Cant,  1921),  F.2  or  3.— This 
variety  was  31  last  year,  but  its  present  position  has  been  earned 
by  sheer  merit.  Although  sent  out  in  England  in  1921  it  reached 
this  country  two  years  earlier  having  come  out  wrongly  labelled  as 
Covent  Garden.  Thus  for  two  years  local  nurseries  tested  an  unknown 
stranger,  and  when  its  name  was  properly  established  there  were  many 
prophecies  as  to  its  future  popularity.  The  blooms  are  large,  and 
double,  of  true  exhibition  form,  the  inner  side  of  the  petals  being  a 
soft  buff  shading  to  a rich  yellow  at  the  base,  and  the  reverse  a rich 
salmon,  shaded  carmine  and  yellow.  It  is  mildew  proof  and  delic- 
iously fragrant,  with  a tea  perfume  which  suggests  at  times  a ripe 
apple.  The  cut  flowers  have  been  tested  for  their  lasting  qualities,  and 
have  been  found  to  last  well  from  four  to  five  days.  After  a day  or 
so  in  water,  the  inner  side  of  the  petals  become  fully  exposed  to  view, 
and  the  soft  old  gold  shade  gives  a charming  tone  to  a bowl  of  these 
lovely  blooms.  The  growth  is  somewhat  spreading  and  on  very  sandy 
soils  there  is  a tendency  to  die  back  owing  to  its  Pernetiana  origin. 
It  is  recommended  as  the  finest  yellow  rose  to  date.  In  winter  the 
colour  comes  clear  yellow.  It  has  been  favourably  tested  in  Brisbane 
and  is  suitable  for  all  Australian  climates.  See  illustration. 

(5)  LADY  MAUREEN  STEWART  (H.T.)  (A.  Dickson,  1920),  F.2  or  3.— 

Scarlet  cerise  with  darker  shading,  produced  on  erect  stems.  The 
double  blooms  are  rather  flat,  but  are  sweetly  scented  and  the  foliage 
is  mildew  proof.  The  colour  does  not  appear  to  blue  and  is  of  such  a 
remarkable  intensity  that  the  eye  is  at  once  attracted,  and  even  amongst 
reds,  this  rose  stands  out  on  its  own.  The  growth  is  ideal  for  garden 
and  bedding  purposes.  A few  instances  have  come  under  notice  where 
growth  and  size  of  blooms  could  be  improved,  but  these  are  cases  of 
partial  loss  of  vigour  through  over  propagation,  and  will  soon  be 
overcome.  This  variety  has  so  impressed  Sydney  growers  that  it  tied 
with  six  others  for  second  position  in  the  1924  Garden  Rose  voting. 
Highly  recommended.  E. 

(6)  HAWLMARK  CRIMSON  (H.T.)  (A.  Dickson,  1920),  F.3.— The  finest 
dark  crimson  decorative  rose  yet  sent  out.  The  colour  is  intense  crim- 
son maroon  which  becomes  crimson  scarlet  as  the  semi-double  blooms 
develop.  In  our  opinion  much  superior  to  Red  Letter  Day.  The 
blooms  are  perfectly  shaped  for  a single  rose  and  the  growth  is  excellent. 
It  is  not  so  rampant  as  Red  Letter  Day,  which  is  certainly  an  advan- 
tage, and  the  colour  and  lasting  qualities  are  all  that  could  be  desired. 
The  foliage  is  mildew  proof.  Unless  picked  as  buds  the  flowers  have  a 
tendency  to  partially  close  at  night,  but  not  to  any  serious  extent. 
The  seed  pods  should  be  regularly  clipped  off  to  ensure  continuity  of 
bloom.  Recommended  as  an  excellent  variety  for  hedges.  E. 

“Hawlmark”  is  the  registered  trademark  of  Messrs.  Alexander 
Dickson  & Sons,  of  Newtownards,  Ireland,  and  is  their  exclusive  pro- 
perty. It  is  applied  only  to  varieties  of  their  own  raising  of  the 
highest  excellence.  In  order  to  secure  the  monopoly  of  this  meaning 
they  are  obliged  to  spell  it  in  this  way,  as  they  cannot  rob  the 
English-speaking  people  of  any  word  in  the  language. 

(7)  RED  RADIANCE  (H.T.)  (Gude,  1916),  F.4.— In  all  respects  but  colour 

and  growth  identical  to  the  pink  variety.  The  colour  is  a cerise  red 
and  a fine  shade  for  night  decoration,  while  the  growth  is  reported 
from  several  sources  as  even  more  vigorous  than  the  parent.  It  is 
not  recommended  for  A.M.  or  P.  as  the  petals  burn  and  the  colour  is 
not  constant,  but  in  B.H.  & S.  it  is  an  excellent  variety. 

(8)  JONKHEER  J.  L.  MOCK  (H.T.)  (Leenders,  1909),  F.4.— Although  suf- 

fering a slight  set  back  in  sales  this  year,  it  may  still  be  classed  as 
a very  fine  variety  in  the  Brisbane  and  Sydney  Coastal  areas.  It  is 


40 


HAZLEWOOD  BROS. 


an  upright  growing  variety,  but  does  not  branch  like  others  in  its 
growth  division  and  may,  therefore,  be  planted  closer  together.  The 
large  double  blooms  are  freely  produced  on  superb  stiff  stems  and  are 
all  of  exhibition  form.  The  colour  is  silvery  pink  on  the  inside  of 
petals  with  a deep  imperial  pink  exterior.  Although  marked  as  fragrant 
the  perfume  is  only  light  and  sometimes  difficult  to  detect.  Its  worst 
faults  are  a tendency  to  ball  in  wet  weather  or  when  very  close  to 
coastal  moisture-laden  breezes,  and  on  the  other  hand,  the  petals  burn 
in  dry  heat.  It  is  reported  as  successful  in  Wagga,  Hay,  and  Dubbo 
and  finds  a few  advocates  in  Hobart.  It  is  not  liked  in  A.  or  M. 
Recommended  by  N.S.W.  Rose  Society  and  occupies  a place  in  the 
public  vote  in  Queensland. 

(9)  MRS.  H.  R.  DARLINGTON  (H.T.)  (McGredy,  1920),  F.3.— In  two  years 
this  has  jumped  from  91  to  its  present  position,  and  in  our  opinion 
it  is  not  too  high  considering  its  quality.  Although  described  in  Eng- 
land as  creamy  yellow,  it  rarely  shows  that  colour  here,  for  it  is  almost 
pure  white.  It  is  vigorous  in  growth,  free  in  bloom  and  a splendid 
double  exhibition  and  garden  rose.  Its  faults  are  a tendency  to  ball 
in  spring  and  occasionally  it  will  burn  in  summer.  It  does  not  trans- 
plant as  easily  as  others,  but  on  performances  to  date  justifies  its 
inclusion  as  a garden  rose  in  the  Sydney  list.  E. 

(10)  MADAME  BUTTERFLY  (H.T.)  (E.  G.  HILL,  1918),  F.3. — A sport 
from  Ophelia  which  is  highly  recommended.  The  colour  is  best 
described  as  a harmony  of  bright  pink,  apricot  and  gold,  while,  added 
to  perfect  shape  and  mildew-proof  foliage,  there  are  the  additional 
qualities  of  a rich  perfume,  vigorous  growth  and  freedom  of  bloom. 
Some  growers  have  reported  that  the  colour  is  too  much  like  Ophelia, 
but  having  grown  this  variety  for  five  years,  we  cannot  at  all  agree  as 
a general  thing.  At  times  the  colour  does  fade,  but  still  as  often  it  is 
much  richer,  and  the  blooms  are  even  larger  than  the  parent.  Its  most 
serious  fault  is  of  opening  quickly,  owing  to  its  being  a semi-double 
bloom.  Recommended  highly.  E. 

(11)  LADY  HILLINGDON  (T.)  (Shawyer,  1910),  F.3. — Some  idea  of  the 
popularity  of  this  variety  may  be  gathered  from  the  fact  that  out  of 
five  votings  it  appears  in  each  one,  and  is  never  lower  than  seventh. 
The  flowers  are  produced  on  long,  wiry  stems,  and  unless  extra  well 
grown  are  liable  to  hang  their  heads.  They  can  only  be  classed  as 
semi-double,  but  the  buds  are  most  attractive;  while  it  is  a clean 
grower  and  profuse  in  bloom.  The  variety  is  mildew-resistant,  and  the 
rich  yellow  flowers  have  a strong  Tea  perfume.  It  makes  a good  bed- 
ding and  decorative  rose.  The  climbing  sport  is  also  in  demand.  E. 

(12)  ROSE  MARIE  (LI.T.)  (Dorner,  1918),  F.3. — This  variety  was  twenty- 
fourth  in  last  year’s  list,  but  has  improved  its  position  and  won  its 
way  into  the  Sydney  Rose  Society’s  recommendations  as  a Garden  Rose. 
It  is  a cross  between  Hoosier  Beauty  and  Sunburst,  and  the  long  buds 
open  into  perfectly  shaped,  fairly  full  blooms  of  a rich  shining  rose 
pink,  which  is  liable  to  blue  with  age.  It  is  very  free  flowering,  and 
an  ideal  bedding  variety.  It  is  mildew-proof,  and  good  growth  and 
continuous  blooming  make  it  an  ideal  garden  rose.  The  flowers  are 
powerfully  fragrant  with  a rich,  sweet  perfume  unequalled  by  any 
other  variety  in  the  catalogue.  Highly  recommended.  E. 

(13)  LAURENT  CARLE  (H.T.)  (Pernet  Ducher,  1907),  F.3.— This  is 
another  variety  which  enjoys  almost  universal  popularity.  The  blooms 
are  a velvety  crimson,  large,  double,  and  delightfully  fragrant  with  the 
damask  perfume  of  the  old-fashioned  Cabbage  Rose.  The  foliage  is 
mildew-proof,  and  its  freedom  of  bloom  and  general  excellence  make 
it  a firm  favourite.  It  is  necessary  to  prune  to  a bud  pointed  upward, 
as  the  growth  is  inclined  to  be  low  and  spreading.  The  climbing 
sport  sent  out  from  local  nurseries  is  proving  a consistent  variety.  E.

(14)  MADAME  ABEL  CHATENAY  (H.T.)  (Pernet  Ducher,  1895),  F.4.— 
This  fine  variety  appears  in  every  recommended  list  for  the  Australian 
climates.  The  colour  is  described  as  bright  carmine  rose  shaded  with 
pale  vermilion  rose  and  salmon,  while  the  double  flowers  are  always  of 
a good  shape.  It  is  liable  to  mildew  and  black-spot,  and  has  an  un- 
gainly habit  of  growth  in  most  districts,  but  it  is  still  one  of  the  very 
best,  and  should  on  no  account  be  omitted  from  any  collection.  It  is 
a profuse  seed-producer,  and  the  flowers  should  be  regularly  clipped 
as  soon  as  they  are  finished  to  ensure  a quick  return  to  flowering.  The 
climbing  sport  should  never  be  overlooked  in  any  selection  of  rambling 
roses.  E. 

(15)  MRS.  DUNLOP  BEST  (H.T.)  (Hicks,  1916),  F.3.— Reddish  apricot 
with  a coppery  yellow  base;  good  shaped  buds  opening  into  fairly 
large  semi-double,  sweetly-scented  flowers.  The  plant  is  most  vigorous, 
free  blooming,  and  mildew  resistant.  There  is  a tendency  to  reduce 
petalage  in  summer,  and  the  colour  is  not  so  rich.  E. 

(16)  MRS.  HERBERT  STEVENS  (T.)  (McGredy,  1910),  2 or  3.— A 
very  fine,  free-flowering,  semi-double  exhibition  and  garden  rose.  The 
buds  are  long  and  pointed,  but  unless  well-grown  frequently  lack 
petalage,  open  quickly,  and  lose  their  shape.  It  is  liable  to  mildew, 
but  easily  one  of  the  best  White  Roses  to  date.  A climbing  sport 
offered  last  year  is  proving  most  satisfactory.  E. 

(17)  FRAU  KARL  DRUSCHKI  (H.T.)  (Lambert,  1900),  4 or  6.— Pure 
white  double  blooms  of  splendid  shape  and  very  freely  produced.  This 
variety  has  more  of  a climbing  habit  when  left  unpruned,  but  may 
be  made  into  a densely  branched  bush  by  topping  each  shoot  when 
it  attains  the  length  of  10  or  12  inches.  Mildews,  but  otherwise  excel- 
lent. Another  method  of  treatment  is  to  tie  down  the  long  canes  hori- 
zontally, pinch  back  the  ends  to  force  out  the  lateral  growth.  It  is 
then  almost  a continual  mass  of  bloom.  E. 

(18)  HOOSIER  BEAUTY  (H.T.)  (Dorner,  1915),  F.3. — Glowing  crimson 
with  darker  shadings.  The  blooms  are  large,  full,  and  generally  well- 
formed  and  carried  on  extra  long  stems.  In  a few  instances  the  growth 
is  only  medium,  but  in  other  places  it  is  all  that  can  be  desired,  while 
the  mildew-proof  foliage  has  much  in  its  favour.  The  colour  varies 
somewhat,  but  at  its  best  it  has  the  rich,  velvety  sheen  of  the  Hybrid 
perpetuals.  It  does  not  blue,  however,  like  Hadley.  The  outstanding 
quality  is  the  rich  and  powerful  fragrance  which  is  only  equalled  by 
Rose  Marie.  E. 

(19)  GOLDEN  OPHELIA  (H.T.)  (B.  R.  Cant,  1918),  3.— This  is  not  an  exhi- 
bition variety,  but  has  an  ideal  habit  for  garden  or  bedding  purposes 
and  beyond  a slight  susceptibility  to  mildew  and  the  fading  of  the  colour 
in  strong  sunlight  it  has  few  faults.  The  flowers  are  golden  yellow  shad- 
ing lighter  at  the  edges,  small  to  medium  in  size,  semi-double,  of  perfect 
shape  and  borne  on  long  stems.  In  climates  like  A.  this  varietv  would 
probably  be  only  worth  growing  for  its  autumn  blooms,  but  in  H.M.Mt. 
and  S.  it  should  prove  a favourite. 

(20)  GENERAL  MACARTHUR  (H.T.)  (E.  G.  Hill,  1905),  F.3  or  4.— A fine 
large  bright  red,  full  bloom  rather  flat  in  shape,  but  very  sweetly  scented. 
It  is  always  well  up  in  number  of  plants  sold.  Particularly  free  flower- 
ing and  recommended  for  hedge  work.  Mildew  proof.  E. 

A vigorous  climbing  sport  was  offered  last  year  and  will  help  to 
remedy  the  deficiency  in  sweet  scented  red  climbers. 

(21)  KAISERIN  AUGUSTA  VICTORIA  (H.T.)  (Lambert,  1891),  F.3.— 
For  over  thirty  years  this  variety  has  been  before  the  rose  growing 
public,  and  it  still  maintains  its  position  as  one  of  the  very  best.  The 
flowers  are  large,  full  and  nearly  always  come  good.  The  colour  is  a 
creamy  white  with  a faint  lemon  tinge  in  the  centre.  It  is  a first  class 


42 


HAZLEWOOD  BROS. 


exhibition  and  a free  flowering  garden  rose.  The  climbing  sport,  though 
somewhat  variable  in  its  behaviour  is  recommended  as  one  of  the 
finest  white  climbers  available.  E. 

(22)  SUNBURST  (H.T.)  (Pernet  Ducher,  1912),  F.2.— Beautiful  long  buds 
of  deep  yellow  opening  to  semi-double  flowers  which  often  fade  to 
white.  It  is  generally  free  blooming  and  if  only  the  colour  were  con- 
stant it  would  always  rank  high  in  the  list.  There  are  better  varieties, 
however,  in  sight,  and  Amelia  Gude,  Aspirant  M.  Rouyer  and  Elegante 
should  receive  attention  from  critical  growers.  A vigorous  climbing 
sport  produces  even  better  blooms.  In  Adelaide  the  spring  flowers  are 
frequently  spoiled,  but  it  is  recommended  for  M.Mt.  and  S. 

(23)  MRS.  HAROLD  BROCKLEBANK  (H.T.)  (A.  Dickson  & Sons,  1907), 
F.4. — Creamy  white,  with  buff  centre.  The  outer  petals  sometimes 
tinted  salmon  rose.  The  blooms  are  large,  double,  of  perfect  shape 
and  very  strongly  tea  scented.  It  is  not  mildew  proof,  but  a grand  rose 
for  any  purpose.  When  shaded  for  exhibition  purposes  it  is  a rich 
yellow.  Should  be  higher  up  in  the  list.  E. 

(24)  RED  LETTER  DAY  (H.T.)  (A.  Dickson  & Sons,  1914),  4. — This  variety 
has  dropped  from  thirteenth  position  to  its  present  place  and  only  owes 
that  to  the  fact  that  it  is  used  for  hedge  purposes  and  is,  therefore, 
ordered  in  considerable  quantities.  A semi-single  variety  with  extra 
vigorous  growth  and  mildew-proof  foliage.  At  its  best  the  colour  is 
brilliant  scarlet  crimson,  deepening  in  autumn  to  almost  black.  It  is 
wonderfully  free  in  flowering,  but  in  our  opinion  it  must  give  way  to 
Hawlmark  Crimson,  which  has  all  its  qualities  without  any  of  its  short- 
comings. Red  Letter  Day  frequently  gets  very  hard  in  colour,  is  almost 
too  vigorous  in  growth,  lacks  perfume,  and  the  blooms  have  not  the 
perfect  shape  of  Hawlmark  Crimson.  It  is  a prolific  bearer  of  seed 
pods,  and  these  require  continual  clipping  if  the  plant  is  to  be  brought 
back  to  full  bloom.  H.M.Mt.  and  S. 

(25)  SUNNY  SOUTH  (H.T.)  (Alister  Clark,  1918),  4. — Beautiful  semi- 
double flowers  of  pink  flushed  with  carmine  on  a yellow  base.  They 
may  be  cut  on  wiry,  almost  thornless  stems  up  to  three  feet  long. 
Plants  sent  to  Hong  Kong  last  October  gave  blooms  of  such  quality  that 
the  grower  declared  them  to  be  the  most  beautiful  decorative  roses 
he  had  ever  seen.  In  climates  like  Adelaide  the  summer  flowers  would 
need  to  be  cut  when  just  colouring  in  the  bud  stage,  and  used  for 
house  decoration.  Lightly  Tea  scented.  Highly  recommended.  E. 

(26)  MAMAN  COCHET  (T.)  (Cochet,  1893),  4.— Deep  flesh,  outer  petals 
suffused  light  rose.  A large  heavy  bloom  of  splendid  form  at  its  best, 
with  a tendency  to  hang  its  head.  Mildew  proof  foliage.  A splendid 
variety  for  tall  hedge  work,  either  by  itself  or  mixed  with  its  white 
sport.  Should  not  be  heavily  pruned,  as  it  induces  malformation  of 
buds.  This  variety  is  easily  grown  under  all  conditions.  E. 

(27)  WHITE  MAMAN  COCHET  (T.)  (Cook,  1897),  4.— A very  vigorous 
exhibition  or  garden  variety,  a sport  from  Maman  Cochet,  and  one 
of  the  best  whites  available,  but  lacking  perfume.  The  double  blooms 
carry  a tinge  of  pink,  and  should  not  be  forced,  or  disbudded,  as  such 
treatment  tends  to  coarseness  and  confused  centre.  The  foliage  is 
mildew  proof,  and  the  branching  growth  makes  it  a very  desirable 
rose  for  tall  hedges,  either  by  itself,  or  planted  alternately  with  the 
pink  variety.  E. 

(28)  RHEA  REID  (H.T.)  (E.  G.  Hill,  1908),  F.3.— Another  splendid  gar- 
den  rose.  The  colour  is  cerise  crimson.  The  habit  is  good,  foliage 
mildew  proof,  and  the  double  blooms  are  of  excellent  shape,  though 
opening  rather  too  flat.  In  some  climates  liable  to  crooked  stems 
behind  the  bloom.  In  B.  and  S.  it  is  classed  as  a splendid  exhibition 
rose.  E.

(29)  ETOILE  DE  HOLLANDE  (H.T.)  (Verschuren,  1919),  F.3.— Dark  red 
buds  opening  to  bright  red,  semi-double  to  double,  very  fragrant 
flowers.  The  growth  is  erect  and  the  plants  are  very  free  in  bloom. 
This  variety  created  quite  a sensation  in  Sydney  voting  by  receiving 
a unanimous  recommendation,  thus  proving  it  equal  first  with  Radi- 
ance and  Lady  Hillingdon.  It  is  one  of  the  few  red  roses  which  does 
not  blue  and  by  some  authorities  it  is  considered  superior  to  Hadley 
from  a garden  point  of  view.  Its  main  fault  would  be  the  inconsistency 
in  regard  to  petalage,  sometimes  being  quite  a loose  bloom,  but  at  others 
all  that  could  be  desired.  Highly  recommended.  E. 

(30)  IRISH  FIREFLAME  (H.T.)  (A.  Dickson,  1913),  F.3.— Orange  flushed 
crimson,  but  it  must  be  picked  quite  young  to  get  its  colours,  as 
it  fades  quickly.  Very  strongly  Tea  scented.  H.M.Mts.S. 

(31)  PILGRIM  (H.T.)  (Montgomery,  1920),  F.3. — Silvery  pink  with  out- 
side of  petals  clear  rose  pink.  Splendid  shape  and  full,  with  delightful 
fragrance.  Mildew  proof.  Very  free  blooming  and  an  excellent  gar- 
den variety.  Fault,  the  blooms,  when  ageing,  are  inclined  to  blue, 
which  tends  to  spoil  their  decorative  value.  Recommended.  E. 

(32)  MADAME  SEGOND  WEBER  (H.T.)  (Soupert  & Notting,  1908),  3.— 
Rosy  salmon  double  blooms  of  very  large  size.  Named  after  the  cele- 
brated actress  of  the  Comedie  Francaise.  Most  beautiful  in  bud,  and 
a splendid  bedding  variety.  The  climbing  sport  gives  longer  stems  and 
even  better  blooms.  A good  seeder.  A popular  variety  in  all  cli- 
mates. E. 

(33)  DUCHESS  OF  WELLINGTON  (H.T.)  (A.  Dickson,  1909),  F.3.— 

Intense  saffron  yellow,  stained  crimson.  Extra  long  buds  opening  to 
semi-double,  fragrant  flowers  with  huge  petals.  This  is  a lovely 
variety  and  quite  vigorous  in  growth.  Will  be  higher  up  when  better 
known  as  every  rose  lover  will  want  it.  Liable  to  ball  in  wet  weather. 
E. 

(34)  STAR  OF  QUEENSLAND  (H.T.)  (Williams,  1909),  F.3.— Rich  velvety 
crimson  shaded  maroon.  The  flowers  are  semi-double,  cupped  shaped 
with  mixed  petalage,  but  at  their  best  are  a lovely  colour.  Requires 
a hot,  moist  climate.  A failure  in  A.  or  M.,  but  splendid  in  B.  and 
S. 

(35)  GUSTAV  GRUNEWALD  (H.T.)  (Lambert,  1903),  F.3.— Bright  car- 
mine pink  blooms  of  splendid  rounded  outline.  The  flowers  are  built 
up  with  petals  of  good  substance,  and  although  full  enough  for  a good 
garden  rose  are  only  sometimes  suitable  for  exhibition.  The  plant  is 
very  liable  to  Black  Spot  and  mildew.  Recommended  in  the  second 
eighteen  garden  roses  by  the  Sydney  Rose  Society.  E. 

(36)  COUNTESS  OF  GOSFORD  (H.T.)  (McGredy,  1906),  4.— A very  vigor- 
ous growing  decorative  variety,  particularly  free  in  blooming,  but 
lacks  fulness.  The  colour  is  a lovely  salmon  pink  which,  however, 
is  inclined  to  fade,  and  the  foliage  is  rather  susceptible  to  mildew. 
It  makes  an  excellent  standard  and  had  it  only  a few  more  petals  it 
would  reach  a very  high  position.  A.B.M.P.S. 

(37)  GEORGE  DICKSON  (H.T.)  (A.  Dickson,  1912),  F.6.— This  variety  has 
been  in  great  demand  for  some  years,  but  mainly  because  it  produces 
a few  magnificent  blooms  in  the  autumn  just  about  planting  time.  As 
a garden  rose  it  does  not  give  sufficient  results  for  the  average  grower. 
The  blooms  are  full,  fragrant,  and  of  a deep  velvety  crimson,  but  in  the 
spring  are  distorted  in  shape  and  they  are  too  heavy  for  the  stalk.  The 
plant  is  particulary  liable  to  mildew.  It  is  a rampant  grower,  taking 
up  a large  space,  and  should  be  grown  as  a climber  or  in  a bed  with 
the  very  vigorous  canes  pegged  down.  From  an  exhibitor’s  point  of  view 
it  may  be  grown  in  all  climates.

HAZLEWOOD  BROS 


(38)  GRUSS  AN  TEPLITZ  (H.T.)  (Geschwind,  1897),  F.4. — The  name  means 
“Greetings  to  Teplitz.”  A very  fine  free  blooming,  bright  crimson 
rose  with  wonderful  perfume.  The  flowers  are  somewhat  loose,  but 
are  borne  in  big  clusters  on  long  stems.  A good  garden  or  hedge 
variety,  but  flowers  do  not  keep  when  cut,  and  individual  stems  are  not 
strong.  Do  not  prune  too  hard.  E. 

(39)  ELEGANTE  (H.T.)  (Pernet  Ducher,  1918),  F.3. — A very  fine,  free- 
blooming  sort  with  vigorous  branching  habit  and  mildew  proof  foliage. 
The  buds  are  long  and  open  to  fairly  full  flowers  of  a pleasing  shade 
of  straw  yellow.  If  only  it  had  a few  more  petals  it  would  be  one  of  the 
very  best  sorts.  Recommended.  E. 

(40)  K.  OF  K.  (H.T.)  (A.  Dickson,  1917),  F.3. — The  blooms  are  single,  of 
intense  scarlet,  and  the  large  petals  hold  their  shape  better  than  Red 
Letter  Day.  The  flowers  while  not  so  dark,  have  an  extra  advantage 
of  being  perfumed.  It  is  not  so  rampant  in  growth  and  the  stems  have 
less  thorns.  It  is  a good  garden  and  decorative  variety.  E. 

(41)  MRS.  BRYCE  ALLEN  (A.  Dickson,  1916),  F.3. — Soft  silvery  rose  of 
splendid  shape.  The  flowers  are  full,  but  open  rather  flat,  and  possess 
the  loveliest  of  damask  perfumes.  It  is  a good  grower  and  very  free 
flowering  with  excellent  foliage.  Reports  from  all  sides  indicate  that 
this  variety  is  not  receiving  its  full  measure  of  attention.  It  is  recom- 
mended in  the  second  twelve  of  the  Argus  vote,  but  apparently  is  not 
well  enough  known  to  find  a place  in  the  other  plebiscites.  Recom- 
mended for  all  climates  as  a very  fine  variety. 

(42)  PENELOPE  (T.)  (Williams,  1907),  2. — This  variety  is  only  kept 
in  its  position  by  the  constant  demand  from  Queensland  growers.  In 
all  other  climates  it  is  a most  unsatisfactory  variety  and  cannot  be 
recommended.  B.  There  is  a novelty  from  England  this  year  with  the 
same  name.  Confusion  is  inevitable  unless  orders  are  distinctly  marked 
Tea  or  Hybrid  Musk. 

(43)  WARRIOR  (H.T.)  (W.  Paul,  1906),  3. — Long  blood  red  buds  open- 
ing to  loose  semi-double,  light  red  blooms.  It  is  a vigorous  grower, 
particularly  fancied  in  the  Sydney  climate  for  its  winter  and  very 
early  spring  blooming.  Where  these  qualities  are  of  value  it  is  recom- 
mended in  all  climates,  but  is  often  disappointing  for  nearly  all  the 
rest  of  the  year. 

(44)  ALEXANDER  HILL  GRAY  (T.)  (A.  Dickson,  1911),  F.3.— Lemon 

yellow,  double  blooms  of  perfect  shape.  Free  blooming  and  fragrant. 
Recommended  by  the  Victorian  Rose  Society  as  one  of  the  best  twelve 
exhibition  roses.  Reports  from  all  climates  proclaim  it  a success 
everywhere  though  liable  to  ball  in  wet  weather. 

(45)  MRS  GEORGE  SHAWYER  (H.T.)  (Shawyer,  1911),  F.3.— Large  semi- 
double  to  double  flowers  of  long,  pointed  shape.  It  is  recommended 
for  either  garden  or  exhibition  as  it  is  very  free  flowering.  The  foliage 
is  liable  to  spot  and  mildew,  while  the  flower  blues  with  age,  but 
the  superb  qualities  of  the  flower  will  carry  it  over  these  faults.  An 
extra  vigorous  climbing  sport  is  offered  for  the  first  time  this  year,  and 
as  the  quality  of  the  blooms  is  always  improved  when  sports  of  this 
kind  occur  it  should  be  in  a great  demand  by  exhibitors  generally. 
A.B.M.P.S. 

(46)  MRS.  HENRY  WINNET  (H.T.)  (Dunlop,  1917),  F.3. — A beautiful 
double  red  rose,  not  quite  so  dark  as  Hadley.  Good  grower  and  free 
flowering,  holding  its  colour  well.  Mildew  proof  and  fragrant.  A 
promising  exhibition  and  garden  variety.  E. 

(47)  HUGO  ROLLER  (T.)  (W.  Paul,  1907),  2— Creamy  yellow  petals, 

edged  and  suffused  with  crimson.  Medium  size,  good  shaped  double 
blooms  and  mildew  proof  foliage.  Where  Penelope  is  a failure  this 
variety  provides  the  nearest  approach  to  it  in  colour.  E.

(48)  FANCY  FREE.  (H.T.)  (Alister  Clark,  1922),  F.2. — A perfect  garden 
and  semi-single  decorative  rose,  which  can  best  be  described  as  a 
dwarf  bedding  Gwen  Nash,  with  the  same  silvery  pink  petals  and  white 
basal  zone,  but  remarkably  floriferous  and  healthy.  Lightly  fragrant. 
H.M.Mt.  and  S. 

(49)  MADAME  JULES  BOUCHE  (H.T.)  (Croibier,  1910),  F.3.— The  blooms 
are  not  very  full,  but  its  freedom  of  flowering  make  it  one  of  the 
best  garden  roses.  The  colour  is  creamy  white,  softly  tinted  flesh  pink. 
Somewhat  subject  to  mildew,  but  should  not  be  neglected  on  this  score. 
Lasts  well  in  water  when  cut.  Requires  copious  watering  in  summer 
to  produce  best  results.  E. 

(50)  MADAME  JULES  GROLEZ  (H.T.)  (Guillot,  1896),  F.3.— Bright  satiny 
Chinese  pink.  Good  shape,  free  blooming  and  double.  Makes  a good 
bedder,  but  will  not  match  with  other  colours,  and  does  not  last  when 
cut.  This  variety  does  well  on  standards.  E. 

(51)  GEORGES  SCHWARTZ  (T.)  (Schwartz,  1899),  F.2.— Bright  canary 
yellow  of  fair  size  and  good  shape,  though  semi-double.  The  colour 
is  rivalled  only  by  that  of  Mabel  Morse  and  Souvenir  de  Claudius 
Pernet.  The  plant  is  a poor  grower  and  the  best  results  will  be  ob- 
tained by  planting  the  climbing  sport  which  should  be  pruned  into  a 
large  bush.  E. 

(52)  MRS.  AARON  WARD  (H.T.)  (Pernet  Ducher,  1907),  F.2.— Indian 
yellow  with  white  margin.  Compact  grower  with  full  bloom  of  medium 
size  on  stout  stems.  A pretty  variety  which  is  constantly  in  bloom.  A 
climbing  sport  is  a welcome  addition  to  a class  weak  in  this  colour. 
E. 

(53)  LADY  ASHTOWN  (H.T.)  (A.  Dickson,  1904),  2. — Rich  silvery  pink 
double  blooms  with  high  centre  and  splendid  shape.  Very  free  flower- 
ing, and  a good  bedding  variety.  In  spite  of  its  liability  to  mildew 
it  is  in  great  demand,  and  is  quite  an  aristocrat.  E. 

(54)  AMERICA  (H.T.)  (E.  G.  Hill,  1923),  F.2  or  3.— Although  only  re- 
leased from  the  1923  Novelities  this  variety  has  been  in  great  demand 
and  from  present  indications  gives  evidence  that  it  will  go  much 
higher.  The  buds  are  long  and  pointed,  opening  to  immense  fragrant 
rose  pink  flowers.  The  foliage  is  large  and  fairly  resistant  to  disease, 
while  the  plants  are  vigorous  in  growth  and  free  in  bloom.  It  is 
almost  thornless  and  appears  to  be  improving  with  each  flowering. 
See  illustration.  Recommended.  E. 

(55)  GWEN  NASH  (Alister  Clark,  1920),  4 or  5. — A large  semi-double  and 
most  distinctive  flower  of  cyclamen  pink  with  a white  eye.  The  outer 
petals  reflex  beautifully  and  either  in  the  garden  or  for  a floating 
bowl  decoration,  it  is  a most  lovely  bloom.  The  plants  are  most 
vigorous  in  growth  and  may  be  trained  either  as  a large  bush  or  a 
vigorous  climber.  If  the  laterals  are  encouraged  there  will  be  regular 
continuity  of  bloom.  Described  by  Mr.  R.  A.  Nicholson  of  Hong 
Kong  as  “the  acme  of  loveliness.”  E. 

(56)  MRS.  A.  R.  WADDELL  (Pernet  Ducher,  1908),  3.— Long  buds  of  a 
brilliant  apricot  with  a reddish  tint.  A splendid  grower  and  free 
bloomer  but  liable  to  mildew  and  would  be  better  with  more  petalage. 
It  is  recommended  as  one  of  the  very  best  garden  varieties  of  its  colour. 
H.M.S. 

(57)  BETTY  UPR1CHARD  (H.T.)  (A.  Dickson,  1922),  F.3.— The  inner  face 
of  petal  is  delicate  salmon  pink  to  carmine,  while  the  outer  or  reverse 
of  petal  is  glowing  carmine  with  coppery  sheen,  and  a suffusion  of 
orange.  The  growth  is  very  vigorous,  with  erect  and  free  branching 
habit,  flowering  freely  and  continuously.  The  blooms  are  Verbena 
perfumed,  and  carried  on  erect  flower  stems;  they  are  of  medium  size, 


46 


HAZLEWOOD  BROS. 


not  too  full,  but  perfectly  formed,  with  large  smooth  petals  of  massive 
substance.  A beautiful  semi-double  decorative  rose.  Highly  recom- 
mended. E. 

(58)  LA  FRANCE  (H.T.)  (Guillot,  1867),  F.3. — Bright  silvery  rose  with 
pale  lilac  shading.  The  blooms  are  large,  double  and  deliciously 
fragrant.  It  has  been  reported  as  successful  in  widely  separated  places, 
from  harbour  frontages  to  inland  and  mountain  districts,  but  for  every 
success  ten  failures  are  noted. 

(59)  FRANCIS  SCOTT  KEY  (H.T.)  (Cook,  1913),  3.— A large,  very  full, 
well  formed  rose  of  good  substance  and  a beautiful  deep,  cherry 
colour.  An  excellent  show  bloom,  opening  slowly  and  perfectly,  with 
perfume  only  lacking.  Recommended  as  a very  fine  variety.  Named 
in  honour  of  the  author  of  the  “Star  Spangled  Banner.”  E. 

(60)  ETOILE  DE  FRANCE  (H.T.)  (Pernet  Ducher,  1905),  F.3.— This 
variety  may  be  said  to  be  a success  only  in  some  places  and  generally 
a failure  in  A.M.P.S.  The  colour  is  crimson,  shaded  cherry  red,  while 
the  double  blooms  in  shape  and  flowering  are  inferior  to  Hadley. 
Burns  badly  in  summer.  B. 

(61)  COURTNEY  PAGE  (H.T.)  (S.  McGredy  & Sons,  1922),  F.3.— Bushy 
growth;  large,  full,  well  formed  flowers,  but  with  a suspicion  of  coarse- 
ness. The  colour  is  scarlet  crimson,  shaded  deeper  crimson,  of  un- 
rivalled brilliance  and  lasting  a long  time  in  good  condition;  very 
sweetly  scented.  Liable  to  ball  in  wet  weather.  A.B.M.P.S. 

(62)  OPHELIA  (H.T.)  (W.  Paul  & Son,  1912),  F.3. — Salmon  flesh  shaded 
rose  and  yellow,  a colour  which  is  liable  to  fade,  but  even  then  is 
not  objectionable  and  for  delicious  fragrance  alone  it  is  worth  grow- 
ing. A voting  conducted  by  Popular  Gardening  in  England  placed 
Ophelia  in  first  place,  and  this  sentiment  will  find  many  supporters 
in  Australia.  The  climbing  sport  is  also  highly  recommended.  Both 
are  semi-double.  E. 

(63)  IRISH  ELEGANCE  (H.T.)  (A.  Dickson,  1905),  4. — Bronzy  orange  buds 
opening  to  single  blooms  of  various  shades  of  apricot.  Very  vigorous 
and  free  flowering.  A splendid  variety  for  table  decoration.  Does 
well  everywhere,  even  in  sandy  soil.  The  best  single  pink  for  all  round 
qualities.  In  hot  climates  the  buds  must  be  picked  before  opening 
or  the  colour  is  lost.  E. 

(64)  ASPIRANT  MARCEL  ROUYER  (H.T.)  (Pernet  Ducher,  1919),  F.3.— 
Vigorous  erect  growth,  long  buds,  opening  to  moderately  full,  shapely 
flowers.  Deep  apricot  tinted  salmon.  Will  diplace  Sunburst  and 
must  reach  a higher  place  if  quality  is  recognised.  Like  all  yellows 
the  colour  is  liable  to  fade.  Highly  recommended.  E. 

(65)  ETHEL  SOMERSET  (H.T.)  (A.  Dickson,  1921),  F.3.— Shrimp  pink, 
edge  of  petals  deep  flesh  coral  pink,  a lovely  shade  of  colour,  flowers 
very  large,  double,  perfectly  finished,  with  high  pointed  centre  and 
very  deep  shell-shaped  petals  of  great  substance.  The  growth  is  vigorous, 
branching  freely  and  of  splendid  habit.  It  blooms  profusely,  and  the 
flowers,  which  are  carried  on  rigid  stems  are  possessed  of  delightful 
fragrance.  The  only  fault  is  mildew.  Recommended.  A.B.M.P.S. 

(66)  WESTFIELD  STAR  (H.T.)  (Morse,  1920),  F.3. — A distinct  lemon  yel- 
low sport  from  Ophelia,  possessing  all  its  excellent  characteristics. 
Semi-double  and  fades  to  white  in  sunlight.  Recommended.  E. 

(67)  MRS.  JOHN  COOK  (H.T.)  (Cook,  1919),  F.2.— Ivory  white,  occasion- 
ally suffused  with  light  pink.  The  bud  is  firm  and  of  nice  formation, 
opening  into  a cup-shaped  double  flower.  This  variety  has  shown 
some  very  beautiful  blooms  and  the  growth  has  improved  considerably 
over  that  shown  last  year.  Foliage  is  mildew  proof,  while  the  blooms 
are  very  sweetly  scented  and  last  well  when  cut.  E.

(68)  FRANK  W.  DUNLOP  (H.T.)  (Dunlop,  1919),  F.3. — A vigorous  grow- 
ing veriety  producing  perfectly  shaped,  fragrant  double  blooms  of  a 
rich  deep  pink.  A very  fine  exhibition  flower  of  splendid  shape  and 
lasting  qualities,  but  liable  to  mildew  badly  at  times.  Highly  re- 
commended. B.  and  S. 

(69)  CHATEAU  DE  CLOS  VOUGEOT  (H.T.)  (Pernet  Ducher,  1908),  F.2.— 
Rich  velvety  scarlet,  passing  to  crimson  and  black.  An  interesting  fea- 
ture is  that  whereas  most  colours  fade  with  age,  this  gets  richer  and 
darker  till  the  petals  fall.  One  of  the  darkest  Hybrid  Tea  to  date,  hut 
while  free  blooming  and  double,  it  is  not  a large  grower.  Does  well 
on  low  standards,  and  should  certainly  be  tried  where  it  is  not  known. 
Exceptionally  fragrant.  Fault:  the  blooms  open  too  flat,  and  centre 
petals  are  too  narrow  and  crowded.  E. 

(70)  MRS.  W.  C.  EGAN  (Per  x H.T.)  (Howard  and  Smith),  3. — A vigorous 

healthy  grower  with  long  pointed  buds  of  perfect  shape,  measuring 
fully  inches  in  length,  and  developing  into  perfect  flowers.  In 

colour  it  is  a two-tone  shade  of  soft,  light  pink,  the  interior  deep  flesh 
colour  with  a golden  line  at  the  base  of  the  petals.  The  flowers  are 
supported  on  long,  stiff  stems,  lasting  in  good  condition  either  on  the 
plant  or  for  an  unusually  long  time  when  cut.  They  are  produced 
freely  and  continuously  throughout  the  season.  Fully  up  to  descrip- 
tion. Shows  none  of  the  faults  of  the  Pernetiana.  Can  strongly  re- 
commend though  colour  bleaches  in  hot  weather.  E. 

(71)  MY  MARYLAND  (H.T.)  (T.  Cook,  1908),  F.3. — Bright  salmon  pink.  A 
very  free  blooming,  fragrant,  double  rose.  Should  be  better  known. 

E. 

(72)  OLD  GOLD  (H.T.)  (McGredy,  1913),  F.2  or  3. — Semi-single  blooms  of 
perfect  shape,  opening  to  flowers  of  reddish  orange,  with  coppery  red 
and  apricot  shadings.  A very  free  flowering  kind,  with  mildew  proof 
foliage.  Recommended  where  singles  are  not  disliked.  A.H.M.Mt. 
P.S. 

(73)  GENERAL  SUPERIOR  ARNOLD  JANSSEN  (H.T.)  (Leenders,  1911), 
3. — Large  brilliant,  carmine,  double  flowers,  freely  produced.  By  some 
the  colour  is  not  liked,  as  it  is  said  to  be  hard.  Liable  to  mildew.  A 
good  garden  rose.  A dark  red  sport  is  offered  this  year  under  the  name 
of  General  Neuhoff.  B.  and  S. 

(74)  MARJORIE  BULKELEY  (H.T.)  (H.  Dickson,  1921),  F.2  or  3.— Strong 
vigorous,  free  branching  growth;  buff  ochre,  heavily  flushed  rosy  pink 
developing  to  silvery  pink  as  the  flower  ages;  large  and  full,  of  exquisite 
form,  sweetly  scented.  Recommended.  A.B.M.P.S. 

(75)  VICTORY  (H.T.)  (McGredy,  1919) , F.3. — Glowing  scarlet,  blooms  long, 
semi-double  and  of  good  form.  Occasionally  magnificent  blooms  are 
produced,  but  it  must  be  well  grown  or  it  is  disappointing.  Mildews, 
and  is  rather  inclined  to  spindly  growth.  E. 

(76)  LUCIEN  CHAURE  (H.T.)  (Soupert  & Notting,  1913),  3. — Dainty  flesh 
colour  shaded  rosy  cream.  The  flowers  are  large,  double,  of  good  shape, 
and  an  ideal  bedding  variety.  A seedling  from  Madame  Abel  Chatenay 
with  better  habit.  Liable  to  mildew,  but  nevertheless  a fine  variety. 
In  strong  sunlight  the  colour  will  fade.  A.B.M.P.S. 

(77)  MRS.  CHARLES  J.  BELL  (H.T.)  (Pierson,  1917),  F.4. — A sport  of  the 
popular  variety  Radiance,  possessing  all  the  delightful  characteristics 
of  that  variety,  save  colour,  which  is  a delicate  shell  pink.  Consider- 
ing the  popularity  of  the  original,  a warm  welcome  should  await  this 
dainty  addition  to  our  free  flowering  garden  roses.  Colour  fades  in 
hot  weather,  but  at  its  best  is  beautiful.  Highly  recommended.  E. 

(78)  C.  V.  HAWORTH  H.T.)  (A.  Dickson,  1917),  F.2. — The  semi-double 
^ooms  are  of  good  size,  and  a very  rich  scarlet  crimson,  becoming

deeper  in  the  autumn.  Mildew  proof,  but  we  consider  Lady  Maureen 
Stewart  superior,  as  it  has  richer  perfume,  better  colour,  and  is  freer 
in  bloom.  E. 

(79)  DEAN  HOLE  (H.T.)  (A.  Dickson,  1904),  3.— Large,  refined  double 
blooms  with  high  centre;  silvery  carmine  shaded  salmon,  freely  pro- 
duced. Unfortunately,  this  splendid  variety  is  very  subject  to  mildew, 
while  in  most  climates  the  blooms  ball  in  spring,  but  it  should  not 
be  left  out  for  this  fault.  A.B.M.P.S. 

(80)  MRS.  CHARLES  LAMPLOUGH  (H.T.)  (McGredy,  1920),  F.3. — A 
creamy,  white  exhibition  bloom  of  large  size,  sweetly  scented,  vigorous 
growth  and  free  flowering,  though  liable  to  ball  badly  in  damp  weather. 
Recommended  to  exhibitors  only.  For  garden  work  Mrs.  H.  R.  Dar- 
lington is  better. 

(81)  SOUY.  OF  STELLA  GRAY  (T.)  (A.  Dickson,  1907),  F.2.— Deep  orange 
with  splashes  of  yellow,  apricot,  salmon  and  crimson.  The  semi-double 
flowers  are  small  to  medium  size,  fragrant  and  freely  produced,  while 
the  foliage  is  mildew  proof.  A good  buttonhole  rose.  E. 

(82)  LADY  ROBERTS  (T.)  (F.  Cant,  1902),  2 or  3. — Apricot  flushed  with 
coppery  red  at  its  best,  but  inclined  to  vary.  Vigorous  bushy  growth 
with  mildew  proof  foliage,  but  stems  are  weak.  It  makes  a very  shapely 
standard.  Sometimes  the  colour  reverts  to  Anna  Olivier,  from  which 
it  sported.  In  A.  fades  and  burns  in  spring,  and  is  classed  as  fair 
in  H.M.Mt.S. 

(83)  LADY  PIRRIE  (H.T.)  (Hugh  Dickson,  1910),  3. — Coppery  salmon, 
with  the  inside  of  the  petals  apricot.  The  colour  bleaches  in  the  sun, 
but  if  picked  in  the  bud  and  allowed  to  open  inside  the  house  will 
retain  its  exquisite  charm  much  longer.  This  is  a lovely  semi-double 
variety,  that  cannot  fail  to  please  the  ladies.  Splendid  foliage,  but 
not  mildew-proof.  It  is  stated  that  a visitor  to  the  raiser’s  nursery  saw 
a cartload  of  seedling  roses  being  taken  to  the  fire  heap,  and  begged 
the  life  of  one  for  further  trial.  It  is  inferred  that  the  rose  now  bears 
the  name  of  its  rescuer.  H.M.Mt.S. 

(84)  HORTULANUS  FIET  (H.T.)  (Verschuren,  1919),  F.2.— Rich  golden 
yellow  of  fine  form.  There  are  two  different  roses  of  this  name  and. 
after  repeated  attempts,  we  have  succeeded  in  importing  the  salmon 
variety  sent  out  by  Leenders  in  1919,  but  cannot  recommend  it  in  any 
way.  The  yellow  is  a fine  variety  of  moderate  growth  for  exhibitors. 
The  perfume  is  similar  to  that  of  Freesias.  A.H.M.Mt.P.S. 

(85)  MOLLY  SHARMAN  CRAWFORD  (T.)  (A.  Dickson,  1908),  F.3. — A 
very  free  flowering  white  variety,  and  first  class  for  bedding.  The 
blooms  are  always  clean  and  last  far  longer  than  any  other  white.  The 
plant  is  particularly  mildew  proof.  E. 

(86)  GEORG  ARENDS  (H.T.)  (Hinner,  1910),  F.I.— Sent  out  as  a pink 
Druschki.  This  is  a lovely  variety,  with  exquisite  perfume.  Large 
double  blooms  of  good  shape  and  fairly  free.  Liable  to  mildew  and 
black  spot,  but  should  not  be  discarded  on  this  account.  The  Christian 
name  is  Georg,  George  or  Georges  in  German,  English  and  French 
respectively.  A.M.P.S. 

(87)  MRS.  FRANK  GUTHRIE  (H.Gig.)  (Alister  Clark),  F.3. — A dwarf 
ever  blooming  variety,  forming  a beautiful  bush  with  most  attractive 
foliage  that  is  mildew  proof  and  persistant.  Its  flowers  are  clear 
pink,  and  tea  scented.  It  is  one  of  the  first  perpetual  roses  to  descend 
from  Rosa  Gigantea,  and  as  it  flowers  continuously  right  into  winter,  it 
must  become  a great  favourite  for  garden  decoration  and  cutting.  The 
colour  varies,  and  the  centre  petals  are  rather  crowded.  E-

(88)  SUNSTAR  (H.T.)  (A.  Dickson,  1922),  F.2. — Deep  orange  and  yellow, 
veined  and  splashed  crimson  and  vermilion.  The  growth  is  moderate 
and  the  flowering  is  profuse  throughout  the  season.  An  ideal  semi- 
single rose  for  all  decorative  work;  flowers  medium  size;  petals  round, 
smooth  and  of  good  substance.  The  colour  fades  badly.  The  growth 
appears  to  be  stronger  when  budded  on  standards.  H.M.Mt.S. 

(89)  BETTY  (H.T.)  (A.  Dickson,  1905),  F.4. — Pale  flesh  colour,  under  side 
of  petals  salmon  rose.  Very  long  pointed  bud  opening  to  large,  loose 
fragrant  blooms.  Good  grower,  and  foliage  almost  mildew  proof.  It 
does  not  last  well  when  cut.  H.M.Mt.S. 

(90)  PERLE  DES  JARDINS  (T.)  (Levet,  1874),  F.2. — Deep  straw  yellow, 
large  and  full.  The  climbing  sport  gives  longer  stems  and  even 
better  blooms.  Recommended  as  a dwarf  for  B.  and  S.  only,  but  the 
climbing  sport  is  one  of  the  finest  yellow  climbers  for  any  climate. 

(91)  ANGELUS  (H.T.)  (Lemon),  F.2  or  3. — A seedling  from  Columbia 
and  Ophelia,  and  promising  to  be  one  of  the  best  white  roses  on  the 
list.  At  times  the  colour  shows  light  yellow  at  centre.  It  is  a fine 
big  double  bloom  on  strong  stems,  and  in  addition  to  good  lasting 
qualities  is  very  fragrant.  The  plants  are  strong  in  growth,  free  flower- 
ing, and  the  foliage  is  mildew  resistant.  E. 

(92)  MRS.  CHARLES  RUSSELL  (H.T.)  (Montgomery,  1913),  F.2  or  3.— 
Rosy  carmine,  very  double,  of  perfect  shape  and  splendid  lasting 
qualities.  Flowers  of  this  variety  have  been  shipped  from  New  York 
to  London  and  landed  in  excellent  condition.  Plants  are  somewhat 
uncertain  in  growth.  E. 

(93)  GORGEOUS  (H.T.)  (Hugh  Dickson,  1915),  2. — Orange  yellow  with 
reddish  coppery  shadings,  but  colours  vary.  The  plant  is  liable  to 
mildew,  and  the  double  blooms  are  frequently  divided.  A good  exhi- 
bition rose.  E. 

(94)  AUSTRALIA  FELIX  (H.T.)  (Alister  Clark,  1919),  F.2.— Pink  shad- 
ing to  white.  A very  free  flowering,  strong  growing  variety  with  semi- 
double rather  small  fragrant  blooms  and  mildew  resistant  foliage.  A 
fine  winter  bloomer  and  ideal  for  bedding;  also  for  night  decora- 
tion. M.Mt.S. 

(95)  MARGARET  DICKSON  HAMILL  (H.T.)  (A.  Dickson,  1915),  F.3.— 
Deep  golden  yellow.  In  spring  the  colour  fades  somewhat,  but  it  is  a 
beauty  in  autumn.  A very  fine  double  globular  bloom.  Much  too  low 
on  the  list  considering  its  quality.  E. 

(96)  GEORGE  C.  WAUD  (H.T.)  (A.  Dickson,  1908),  F.3.— Cherry  red.  A 
large,  well  formed  double  rose  which  does  very  well  in  some  districts, 
but  is  quite  ordinary  in  other  places.  A.B.M.P.S. 

(97)  MRS.  FOLEY  HOBBS  (T.)  (A.  Dickson,  1910) , F.3.— Ivory  white,  tinted 
pink.  Large  very  full  blooms,  which  are  invaluable  to  an  exhibitor. 
Unless  particularly  well  grown,  the  blooms  are  too  heavy  for  the 
stem.  Cannot  recommend  for  garden  purposes  though  it  lasts  well  in 
water  when  it  is  fit  to  pick.  E. 

(98)  COMTESSE  DE  CAYLA  (China)  (Guillot,  1903),  F.3. — Indian  red 
tinted  orange  and  carmine,  semi-double  flowers  which  do  not  last  when 
picked.  Very  free  flowering,  with  mildew  proof  foliage.  A good  hedge 
rose.  Recommended.  E. 

(99)  FRANCES  GAUNT  (H.T.)  (A.  Dickson,  1918),  F.3.— Deep  apricot, 
semi-double  blooms  of  good  shape.  The  plant  is  a good  grower  and 
free  in  flowering,  winning  a Gold  Medal  at  Bagatelle  Test  Garden, 
Paris,  as  the  result  of  a twelve  months’  competition.  Lack  of  petalage 
keeps  this  variety  back.  F*

HAZLEWOOD  BROS. 


(100)  MRS.  E.  WILLIS  (H.T.)  (Weightman),  F.2. — A New  Zealand  seedling 
from  Madame  Segond  Weber.  Beautiful  long  buds  of  delicate  pink 
colour,  semi-double.  This  is  a lovely  variety.  It  has  been  sent  to 
England  for  trial  and  results  are  awaited  with  interest.  Recommended. 
E. 

(101)  PAPA  GONTIER  (T.)  (Nabonnand,  1883),  2 or  3. — Rosy  crimson. 
The  buds  are  long,  clean  and  open  into  semi-double  flowers.  A good 
winter  bloomer.  E. 

(102)  JOSEPH  HILL  (H.T.)  (Pernet  Ducher,  1903),  F.2. — Long  buds  open- 
ing to  semi-double  orange  yellow  blooms,  shaded  pink  and  copper. 
A splendid  variety  where  it  does  well.  The  plant  is  rather  a lopsided 
grower.  Tea  scented.  E. 

(103)  VANITY  (H.T.)  (Halstead,  1901),  3 or  4. — A splendid  decorative 
raised  in  1901,  but  almost  lost  through  inattention.  Very  long,  pointed 
buds  of  nankeen  yellow  splashed  carmine,  opening  to  almost  single 
blooms.  Fine,  bronzy  green  foliage  and  very  vigorous  growth.  Un- 
fortunately a new  variety  has  been  given  the  same  name  in  England 
but  they  are  quite  distinct.  Placed  11th  in  the  New  South  Wales  Rose 
Society’s  list  of  best  decorative  Roses.  H.M.Mt.S. 

(104)  MISS  ALICE  DE  ROTHSCHILD  (H.T.)  (A.  Dickson,  1910),  F.2.  or 
3. — Large,  full  flowers  with  Marechal  Niel  perfume.  Citron  yellow, 
deepening  as  the  flower  ages.  Mildews,  and  must  give  way  later  to 
better  yellows.  A.B.M.P.S. 

(105)  LILIAN  MOORE  (H.T.)  (Hugh  Dickson,  1917),  F.2.— Deep  Indian 
yellow,  after  the  style  of  Mrs.  Aaron  Ward.  This  variety  won  the 
thousand  dollar  prize  at  the  Panama  Exhibition.  A dainty  well  shaped 
double  rose.  In  strong  sunlight  the  colour  fades  to  white.  Gradually 
being  displaced  by  better  growing  sorts.  Mildews  badly.  A.M.P.S. 

(106)  DAINTY  (H.T.)  (H.  Dickson,  1921),  F.3. — Free  branching  growth,  buds 
very  long  and  pointed,  opening  to  large  double  flowers  of  exquisite 
build;  rose  apricot,  very  heavily  flamed  and  tinted  cherry  pink, 
sweetly  scented.  At  times  fully  up  to  its  name.  Mildews.  A.B.M.P.S. 

(107)  DUCHESS  OF  SUTHERLAND  (H.T.)  (A.  Dickson,  1912),  F.4  or  5.— 
Rose  pink,  blooms  of  good  shape  and  substance.  A useful  exhibitor’s 
variety.  E. 

(108)  COLONEL  OSWALD  FITZGERALD  (H.T.)  (A.  Dickson,  1917),  2.— 
Blood  red,  shaded  velvety  crimson,  double  blooms  of  fine  form,  and 
fairly  free  flowering.  The  growth  is  moderate,  but  not  in  any  way 
weak,  while  the  foliage  is  mildew-proof.  A.H.M.Mt.P.S. 

(109)  EDGAR  M.  BURNETT  (H.T.)  (McGredy,  1914),  F.2. — A flesh  tinted 
finely  shaped  exhibition  variety  with  strong  fragrance,  but  only 
occasionally  up  to  its  best  form.  Light  pruning  is  recommended; 
on  sandy  soils  it  is  said  to  do  well.  Should  be  grown  by  exhibitors 
only.  It  is  best  in  A.  in  autumn  and  may  be  also  grown  in  B.M.P.S. 

(110)  IONA  HERDMAN  (H.T.)  (McGredy,  1914),  F.2.— Clear  yellow  of 
quite  a distinct  shade,  but  since  the  advent  of  Mabel  Morse  it  is  likely 
to  drop  out  of  the  lists.  The  growth  is  thin  and  straggly,  and  as  it 
is  very  prostrate,  it  is  best  grown  in  a standard.  A.H.M.Mt.P.S. 

(111)  SQUATTER’S  DREAM  (Hyb.  Gig.)  (Alister  Clark,  1923),  F.2.— The 
colour  of  the  young  flower  is  between  saffron  and  Indian  yellow,  which 
fades  to  pale  yellow,  and  even  white  in  hot  weather,  when  open.  The 
flowers  are  well  held  on  the  plant,  and  are  excellent  for  cutting.  It  is 
particularly  free  flowering  and  richly  tea  fragrant.  The  blooms  are 
small,  and  the  plant  best  suited  to  bedding  purposes  in  cool  climates. 

(112)  HENRIETTA  (H.T.)  (Merry weather,  1916),  3 or  4. — Orange  crimson, 
changing  to  salmon  coral  red,  shaded  with  orange  at  the  base  of  the

petals.  A very  free  grower  and  bloomer  with  extra  long  buds  open- 
ing to  a long,  loose  flower.  H.M.Mt.S. 

(113)  JOHN  DAVISON)  (H.T.)  (McGredy,  1919),  F.2.— Deep  rich  crimson, 
shaded  velvety  crimson.  The  flowers  are  fairly  large,  double,  and 
of  fine  form,  and  frequently  up  to  exhibition  standard.  A.M.P.S. 

(114)  COMTESSE  DE  LA  BARTHE  (T.)  (Bernede,  1857),  4.— Rosy  flesh, 
semi-double,  globular  blooms.  Very  freely  produced.  Makes  a 
good  hedge,  which  accounts  for  its  place  in  the  list,  as  a few  orders  for 
20  or  30  plants  at  a time  soon  elevate  any  variety.  An  old  sort  only 
asked  for  in  S. 

(115)  DUCHESS  OF  WESTMINSTER  (H.T.)  (A.  Dickson,  1911),  F.3.— 

Clear  rose  madder,  large,  double,  with  high  pointed  centre.  A good 
garden  and  exhibition  rose.  A.B.M.P.S. 

(116)  MODESTY  (H.T.)  (McGredy,  1916),  2. — Long  pointed,  shapely  buds, 
opening  to  semi-double  blooms,  cream  or  white  flushed  with  rose.  Free 
flowering  and  a good  exhibition  sort.  A.M.P.S. 

(117)  SOUVENIR  DE  MARIA  DE  ZAYAS  (H.T.)  (Soupert  & Notting,  1905), 
3. — Deep  carmine,  of  perfect  form,  and  a very  fine  double  variety  for 
garden  or  exhibition,  as  every  bloom  comes  good.  The  foliage  is 
almost  black  spot  proof.  An  unusual  and  somewhat  hard  colour. 
This  variety  should  be  much  higher  in  the  list.  E. 

(118)  CORNELIA  (H.T.)  (Robert  Scott  & Sons,  1919),  F.2. — Flowers  are 
medium  to  large  size,  and  very  double.  The  bud  is  a beautiful  salmon 
pink.  In  the  half-expanded  and  full  flowers  the  outer  petals  are  light 
flesh  with  centre  a bright  Malmaison  pink,  base  of  petals  bright  orange. 
A strong,  vigorous  grower  with  a good  stem  and  foliage.  After  the 
style  of  Mrs.  Aaron  Ward.  Recommended.  E. 

(119)  AMERICAN  LEGION  (H.T.)  (Towill,  1920),  F.4.— This  variety  has 
rather  flat  globular  buds;  large,  full,  cerise  red  flowers  possessed  of  a 
fragrant  perfume,  and  lasting  well.  The  foliage  is  large,  glossy,  of  a 
reddish  green  shade,  and  not  subject  to  mildew.  The  plant  is  vigorous 
in  growth  and  a profuse  bloomer.  Somewhat  after  the  style  of  Red 
Radiance  only  darker.  B.H.Mt.S. 

(120)  MILDRED  GRANT  (H.T.)  (A.  Dickson,  1901),  2.— Silvery  white 

shaded  pink.  The  blooms  are  of  immense  size,  and  show  a high 
pointed  centre,  but  are  frequently  divided  as  the  Flower  opens.  Re- 
commended for  exhibitors  only,  as  growth  is  very  dwarf,  and  the 
plant  very  subject  to  mildew  except  in  a few  favoured  places.  Fre- 
quently nicknamed  “Mildew  Grant.” 

(121)  PHOEBE  (H.T.)  (B.  R.  Cant  & Son,  1922),  F.2.— Upright  growth, 

buds  long  and  pointed;  semi-double  flowers  of  perfect  form,  with  nicely 
reflexed  petals;  colour  creamy  white,  slightly  deeper  in  centre,  and 
occasionally  almost  pure  white  flowers.  Sometimes  up  to  exhibition 
standard.  Recommended.  E. 

(122)  EARL  HAIG.  (H.T.)  (A.  Dickson,  1921),  F.3.— Deep,  reddish  crim- 
son of  immense  size  and  substance,  double,  with  centre  rather  flat. 
The  growth  is  vigorous,  erect  and  branching,  possessed  of  splendid 
habit,  with  rich,  dark  green  foliage.  Very  sweetly  perfumed.  Inclined 
to  ball,  but  so  far,  does  not  look  as  if  it  will  get  beyond  the  exhi- 
bition class.  E. 

(123)  YVES  DRUHEN  (H.T.)  (Buatois,  1921),  F.3.— Growth,  vigorous  and 
branching;  flower  fairly  full;  colour,  dark  velvety  red;  highly  perfumed. 
It  is  even  darker  than  Chateau  de  Clos  Vougeot,  but  it  lacks  its  bril- 
liancy, although  it  is  much  better  in  growth.  It  fails  in  shape  of  bloom, 
but  is  a very  fine  garden  rose.  Recommended.  E.

HAZLEWOOD  BROS. 


(124)  MRS.  THEODORE  ROOSEVELT  (H.T.)  (Hill,  1504),  F.3.— Creamy 
white,  with  darker  centre.  A large,  full  exhibition  rose,  said  to  be  a 
sport  from  La  France.  Does  not  flower  free  enough  for  garden  pur- 
poses. Everywhere  except  H. 

(125)  FRANKLYN  (H.T.)  (Pernet  Ducher,  1918),  F.3.— Salmon  shaded  yel- 
low; long  buds  after  the  style  of  Joseph  Hill,  but  a much  better  grower, 
and  very  free  flowering.  Liable  to  mildew,  and  unless  well  grown  it 
hangs  its  head.  A.M.P.S. 

(126)  MADAME  LEON  PAIN  (H.T.)  (Guillot,  1905),  F.3.— Silvery  salmon, 
with  yellow  base.  A beautiful  semi-double  variety  and  a splendid 
bedder.  Liable  to  mildew,  but  nevertheless  recommended.  E. 

(127)  PADRE  (H.T.)  (B.  R.  Cant,  1920),  3. — Strong,  upright  growth;  long 
shoots  producing  flowers  with  fine  long  petals  of  coppery  scarlet 
colouring,  flushed  with  yellow  at  the  base.  An  excellent  bedding 
variety,  semi-double,  after  the  style  of  Henrietta,  but  darker.  Liable 
to  weak  neck  unless  well  grown,  and  will  not  last  when  picked. 
Pernetiana  origin.  It  is  reported  doing  fairly  well  in  Brisbane,  and  is 
satisfactory  in  all  other  climates. 

(128)  LOUISE  BALDWIN  (H.T.)  (McGredy,  1919),  F.3. — A very  graceful 
long  pointed  bloom,  in  the  way  of  Lady  Hillingdon,  but  the  colour  is 
darker,  rich  orange,  with  apricot  shading.  Flowers  are  semi-double 
and  very  freely  produced.  A good  variety  for  the  garden.  E. 

(129)  GLADYS  HOLLAND  (H.T.)  (McGredy,  1916),  F.2.— Buff,  shaded 
orange  yellow'.  A fine  shaped  exhibition  flower,  full  and  fairly  free 
flowering.  Too  low  down  considering  its  quality.  E. 

(130)  NATALIE  BOTTNER  (H.T.)  (Bottner,  1909),  3.— Creamy  white.  A 
large,  full  bloom  of  good  garden  and  exhibition  qualities.  This  was 
also  called  yellow  Frau  Karl  Druschki,  but  this  name  has  been  dis- 
carded as  misleading.  Tea  scented.  Recommended  for  B.  and  S. 
only,  as  it  burns  in  A.  and  balls  in  H.  and  M. 

(131)  CLARICE  GOODACRE  (H.T.)  (A.  Dickson,  1916),  3. — Long  pointed 
buds,  carried  erect,  opening  to  semi-double  ivory  white  blooms  with 
a yellow  tinge.  A fine  exhibition  and  a fair  garden  variety.  Lasts 
well  in  water  when  cut.  E. 

(132)  FRAGRANT  BOUQUET  (H.T.)  (Howard  & Smith,  1922),  F.2.— The 
name  has  been  suggested  by  its  remarkably  sweet  scent  and  free 
flowering  habit,  each  individual  plant,  as  seen  in  the  rose  field  of  the 
originator,  being  a veritable  bouquet.  The  plant  is  of  compact  growth 
with  semi-double  flowers  of  medium  size,  of  a delicate  flesh  pink,  with 
the  base  of  the  petals  a golden  yellow.  A.H.M.P.S. 

(133)  MADAME  CAROLINE  TESTOUT  (H.T.)  (Pernet  Ducher,  1890),  F.4. 
— Bright  satin  rose,  fairly  full  and  globular,  which  indicates  a 
tendency  to  ball.  This  variety  is  the  leading  rose  in  Portland,  Oregon. 
U.S.A.,  where  it  is  estimated  some  three  million  plants  are  used  for 
hedges  in  the  streets.  Does  best  here  as  a climber.  E. 

(134)  KONIGIN  CAROLA  (H.T.)  (Turke,  1903),  F.2.— Immense  double 
blooms  of  good  form,  but  the  centre  is  frequently  divided.  The  colour 
is  satiny  rose  with  the  reverse  of  petals  silvery  white.  It  is  recom- 
mended by  the  New  South  Wales  Rose  Society,  and  finds  a place  in 
their  second  best  18  garden  roses  and  is  placed  sixth  in  the  list  of  exhi- 
bition roses.  It  certainly  should  receive  more  attention.  E. 

(135)  RENEE  WILMART-URBAN  (LI.T.)  (Pernet  Ducher.  1907),  3.— Salmon 
flesh  bordered  carmine.  A very  fine  garden  rose.  Recommended 
by  Mr.  W.  H.  Ifould,  President,  N.S.W.  Rose  Society.  E, 

(136)  MRS.  MacKELLAR  (H.T.)  (A.  Dickson,  1915),  F.  3. — Primrose  yellow. 
Large  semi-double  flowers,  with  ideal  high-pointed  centre,  produced  on 


Rose  and  Tree  Specialists,  Epping,  N.S.W.

strong  stems.  A good  variety  for  exhibition  or  garden.  When  covered 
the  colour  gets  much  deeper.  E. 

(137)  PRINCE  DE  BULGARIE  (H.T.)  (Pernet  Ducher,  1901),  F.3.— Flesh 
colour,  shaded  salmon  with  occasional  tints  of  yellow.  A fine  flowered, 
vigorous  growing  variety  that  should  be  better  known.  A.B.P.S. 

(138)  EDWARD  MAWLEY  (H.T.)  (McGredy,  1911),  F.2. — Velvety  crimson, 
with  large  petals  making  a moderately  full  flower.  Very  subject  to 
black  spot  in  B.  and  S.,  and,  while  a good  veriety  in  a dry  climate, 
is  a failure  in  moist,  coastal  conditions.  A.M.P. 

(139)  ANTOINE  RIVOIRE  (H.T.)  (Pernet  Ducher,  1896),  F.3.— Creamy  flesh 
large  blooms,  rather  flat,  but  freely  produced.  It  is  the  best  rose  for  the 
bud  to  full  bloom  class  in  exhibitions,  and  it  numbers  amongst  its 
progeny  more  seedlings  of  quality  than  any  other  variety.  Ophelia, 
Madame  Butterfly,  Columbia,  Pilgrim,  Golden  Ophelia  are  just  a few 
that  trace  their  origin  back  to  Antoine  Rivoire.  Mildew  proof  foliage. 

E. 

(140)  RAINBOW  (T.)  (Sievers,  1889),  3. — A sport  from  Papa  Gontier,  and 
possessing  all  that  variety’s  qualities.  Pink  striped  carmine,  semi- 
double. Mildew  proof.  E. 

(141)  EXQUISITE  (H.T.)  (Therkildsen,  1922),  3.— Very  long  pointed  semi- 
double flower  with  reflexing  petals.  Salmon  rose,  shaded  yellow  at 
base.  Good  growth,  free  flowering  and  mildew  proof.  This  must  not 
be  confused  with  the  Exquisite  sent  out  by  Paul  in  1899.  E. 

(142)  MRS.  E.  T.  STOTESBURY  (H.T.)  (Towill,  1918) , F.3.— A long,  pointed 
double  flower  after  the  style  of  Mrs.  G.  Shawyer,  but  not  quite  so 
dark.  A splendid  grower  with  fairly  good  foliage  and  fair  perfume. 
Suitable  for  garden  or  exhibition.  Highly  recommended.  E. 

(143)  NEDERLAND  (H.T.)  (Verschuren,  1919),  F.3.— Large,  deep  red  blooms 
on  strong  stalks.  Vigorous  growth  and  beautiful  young  foliage.  It 
lacks  only  that  finished  shape  to  make  it  a really  great  exhibition  and 
garden  rose.  E. 

(144)  LADY  CRAIG  (H.T.)  (H.  Dickson  Ltd.,  1922),  F.2.— Large  full  flowers 
of  fine  form,  and  sweetly  scented.  Colour  deep  cadmium  yellow,  with 
honey-yellow  centre,  very  free  and  perpetual.  E. 

(145)  MRS.  HENRY  MORSE  (H.T.)  (McGredy,  1919),  F.2. — A splendidly 
shaped  bloom  of  bright  rose  with  a vermilion  shading.  Unfortun- 
ately, the  plant  is  particularly  liable  to  mildew.  This  sort  is  highly 
spoken  of  in  England  and  New  Zealand.  Shows  unmistakable  Per- 
netiana  origin.  E. 

(146)  LADY  ALICE  STANLEY  (H.T.)  (McGredy,  1909),  F.2.  or  3.— Deep  rose 
to  silvery  flesh  pink.  A fine,  full,  rather  flat  bloom  and  a good  garden 
rose.  Mildew  proof.  Recommended.  E. 

(147)  SUNSET  (T.)  (Henderson,  1883),  2. — A deep  apricot  sport  from 
Perle  des  Jardins,  with  lovely  bronzy  foliage,  large,  full  and  free 
blooming.  Discarded  by  the  South  Australian  Nurserymen’s  Asso- 
ciation as  unsuitable  for  their  climate  as  it  balls  in  wet  weather. 
Stems  are  also  weak.  B. 

(148)  GOLDEN  SPRAY  (H.T.)  (Hugh  Dickson,  1917),  F.2  or  3.— A spread- 
ing decorative  variety  with  loose,  open  flowers  of  lemon  yellow.  Where 
singleness  is  no  bar,  this  is  a free  and  good  variety;  would  make  a 
good  bed  or  clump.  H.M.Mt.S. 

(149)  MEVROUW  C.  VAN  MARWYK  KOOY  (H.T.)  (Leenders  & Co.,  1920), 

F. 3. — Flowers  large,  fairly  full,  perfect  in  form  and  fragrant;  the  colour 
is  white,  centre  Indian  yellow,  sometimes  coppery  orange,  growth 
vigorous  and  very  floriferous.  A highly  coloured  Madame  Jules 
Bouche.  Good.  E.

HAZLEWOOD  BROS. 


(150)  ETHEL  JAMES  (H.T.)  (McGredy,  1921),  F.2.— Single,  on  the  line  of 
colourings  of  Isobel,  but  the  tone  is  softer,  habit  of  growth  excellent. 
The  colour  is  very  rich  at  times,  but  fades.  H.M.Mt.S. 

(151)  KOOTENAY  (H.T.)  (A.  Dickson,  1917),  3. — Where  shaded,  the  blooms 
are  primrose  yellow,  but  otherwise  it  can  only  be  called  a creamy 
white,  large,  very  full  blooms,  but  in  our  climate  not  the  improved 
K.  A.  Victoria  it  was  claimed  to  be.  The  plant  mildews,  but  is  very 
vigorous.  B.S. 

(152)  CRUSADER  (H.T.)  (Montgomery,  1919),  F.3. — Crimson  red,  of  good 
size  and  shape,  slightly  perfumed,  very  full  and  borne  freely  on  long 
strong  stems.  Mildew  proof  foliage.  Blues  badly.  This  fault  spoils 
an  otherwise  splendid  rose.  It  is  liked  by  some  Melbourne  growers. 
Reports  as  to  its  behaviour  would  be  appreciated. 

(153)  FREIBURG  11  (H.T.)  (Dr.  Kruger,  1917),  F.3. — Flower  peach  blossom 
with  deeper  shading  on  reverse  of  petals,  large,  of  good  form;  buds 
long,  produced  singly.  Growth  vigorous,  exceedingly  floriferous. 
Colour  varies  somewhat,  but  the  variety  should  be  tried  in  all 
climates. 

(154)  IRISH  BEAUTY  (H.T.)  (A.  Dickson,  1900),  3. — A large,  single  white 
variety,  particularly  showy  and  a worthy  companion  of  Irish  Elegance 
and  Irish  Fireflame.  Recommended.  H.M.Mt.S. 

(155)  MADAME  CARISTIE  MARTEL  (H.T.)  (Pernet  Ducher,  1916),  F.3.— 
Pure  sulphur  yellow  shading  to  white  as  the  flower  ages.  A free 
flowering  double  variety  showing  traces  of  Pernetiana  origin.  In 
A.  and  M.  the  spring  blooms  are  freqeuntly  spoilt  by  balling,  but  it 
is  excellent  in  autumn.  Good  in  B.  and  S.,  but  a failure  in  H. 

(156)  MRS.  DAVID  McKEE  (H.T.)  (A.  Dickson,  1904),  3.— Pale  creamy  yel- 
low, but  almost  white  in  this  climate.  A large,  semi-double  variety 
for  exhibitors,  opening  well  in  all  weathers.  A constant  winner.  It  is 
useless  in  B.  and  S.  A.H.M.P. 

(157)  CARINE  (H.T.)  (A.  Dickson,  1911),  F.3.— Creamy  fawn  shaded 

orange,  and  carmine.  A good,  semi-double  decorative  variety,  though 
liable  to  fade  in  strong  sunlight.  A good  garden  rose.  Everywhere 
except  B. 

(158)  MADAME  CONSTANT  SOUPERT  (T.)  (Soupert  & Netting,  1906),  3 
or  4. — Large,  very  full,  yellow  flowers  suffused  with  pink.  A strong 
grower  with  mildew  proof  foliage.  This  rose  likes  hot  weather,  and 
does  very  well  in  B.  In  other  climates  purely  an  exhibition  rose,  but 
must  be  covered  for  this  purpose. 

(159)  MDLLE.  AUGUSTINE  GUINOISSEAU  (H.T.)  (Guinoisseau,  1889), 
F.3.- — A rosy  white  sport  from  La  France.  Sometimes  called  White 
La  France.  E. 

(160)  LADY  PLYMOUTH  (T.)  (A.  Dickson,  1914),  F.4. — Deep  golden  straw 
colour  faintly  flushed  pink.  Large,  very  full  flowers,  but  not  good  shape 
as  a rule.  Real  dreadnought  foliage,  untouched  by  disease.  Recom- 
mended for  exhibitors  only. 

(161)  SOUVENIR  DE  MADAME  BOULLET  (H.T.)  (Pernet  Ducher,  1921), 
F.3. — Dark  cadmium  yellow,  large  and  fairly  full;  long  bud.  A 
vigorous  grower  of  high  spreading  branching  habit;  beautiful  bronze 
green  foliage.  An  improved  Louise  Baldwin.  Recommended.  E. 

(162)  CYNTHIA  FORDE  (H.T.)  (H.  Dickson,  1909),  3.— Deep  rose  pink, 
shaded  on  back  of  petals  with  light  rosy  pink.  A good  grower, 
producing  double  flowers  on  stiff  stems.  E. 

(163)  UNA  WALLACE  (H.T.)  (McGredy,  1921),  F.3.— Beautiful,  soft,  well 
toned,  cherry  rose  without  shading.  In  depth,  formation  and  substance

it  is  faultless,  very  free  blooming,  and  double.  Sweetly  perfumed.  Very 
liable  to  mildew,  but  otherwise  recommended.  A.B.M.P.S. 

(164)  NELLIE  PARKER  (H.T.)  (Hugh  Dickson,  1916),  3. — Creamy  white 
sometimes  flushed  at  the  edge  of  petals.  A good  garden  and,  when 
disbudded,  a fine  exhibition  bloom.  E. 

(165)  LORD  CHARLEMONT  (H.T.)  (McGredy  & Sons,  1922),  F.2  or  3.— 
Free  growing,  perfectly  shaped,  long  pointed  flowers  of  clear  crimson, 
deepening  to  carmine  crimson;  large  full  flowers.  A good  garden 
rose  for  massing  and  cutting,  and  well  up  to  exhibition  standard; 
sweetly  scented,  keeps  its  colour  splendidly.  When  thoroughly 
acclimatised  will  reach  a much  higher  position.  E. 

(166)  EDITH  PART  (H.T.)  (McGredy,  1913),  F.3. — Rich  pink  with  a suf- 
fusion of  salmon,  free  blooming,  double  and  good  habit.  After  the 
style  of  Madame  Abel  Chatenay,  but  darker,  though  not  quite  so  free. 
Recommended.  A.B.M.P.S. 

(167)  SOUVENIR  DE  SERGENT  CRETTE  (H.T.)  (Chambard,  1921),  3.— 
Rich  yellow  suffused  carmine.  The  flowers  are  produced  on  strong 
stems,  while  the  growth  is  vigorous.  The  long  buds  open  into  semi- 
double flowers  and  are  of  such  quality  that  this  variety  must  reach 
a high  position.  E. 

(168)  BRITISH  QUEEN  (H.T.)  (McGredy,  1912),  F.2.— Pure  white,  with  a 
faint  tinge  of  pink  in  the  bud  stage.  A rose  capable  of  producing 
champion  exhibition  blooms,  but  in  most  soils  quite  unsuited  for 
ordinary  garden  purposes  as  growth  is  only  moderate  and  stems  are 
weak. 

(169)  CAPTAIN  KILBEE  STUART  (H.T.)  (Alex.  Dickson  & Sons,  1922), 
F.2. — Velvety  crimson  shaded  scarlet.  The  blooms  are  carried  on  rigid 
stems  and  are  perfectly  formed,  but  growth  and  blooming  force  it 
into  the  exhibition  class  only. 

(170)  MRS.  R.  D.  McCLURE  (H.T.)  (Hugh  Dickson,  1913),  2. — Deep  pink, 
of  fine  form  and  a large,  full  bloom,  which  is  recommended  for  exhi- 
bition purposes  only.  Carried  erect  on  stiff  stems.  Lasts  well  when  cut. 
Not  a strong  grower.  E. 

(171)  MADAME  MARCEL  DELANNEY  (H.T.)  (Leenders,  1915),  F.4.— 
Pale  pink,  shading  to  deeper  tones.  Splendid  shape,  semi-double, 
and  carried  very  erect.  Quite  distinct  in  colour,  and  well  worth 
growing.  Has  many  of  the  qualities  of  Jonkheer  J.  L.  Mock.  Does 
well  in  tropical  climates  like  India  and  Siam.  B.S. 

(172)  W.  R.  SMITH  (T.)  (Smith,  1908),  4. — Creamy  white,  flushed  rosy 
pink.  Evidently  a pale  sport  from  Maman  Cochet.  A very  robust 
grower  and  free  bloomer.  This  variety  does  well  in  tropical  climates. 
B.S. 

(173)  MOLLY  BLIGH  (H.T.)  (A.  Dickson,  1917),  F.2.— Deep  pink  with  a 
yellow  zone  at  base  of  petals.  Flowers  are  large,  full,  and  of  splendid 
shape,  but  the  plant  is  a slave  to  mildew.  A.B.M.P.S. 

(174)  THE  GENERAL  (H.T.)  (Pemberton,  1920),  F.2.— Colour  blood  red, 
flower  large,  pointed,  globular,  fragrant  damask  perfume,  flowering 
continuously.  A moderate  grower  and  very  liable  to  black-spot.  Not 
recommended  for  gardens.  A.M.P.S. 

(175)  IRENE  THOMPSON  (H.T.)  (McGredy,  1921),  F.2.— Colour  deep 
ruddy  gold,  overlaid  with  bronze  coppery  shading;  semi-double,  and 
good  form.  Very  sweetly  scented.  Like  many  from  the  same  raiser, 
it  is  only  moderate  in  growth.  A.H.M.Mt.P.S. 

(176)  YVONNE  VACHEROT  (H.T.),  (Soupert  & Notting,  1906),  4.— Long 
pointed  buds  of  perfect  shape.  Porcelain  white,  suffused  soft  pink. 


56 


HAZLEWOOD  BROS. 


Free  flowering  and  a champion  exhibition  bloom  only.  The  pink  tints 
fade  if  the  blooms  are  shaded.  Quite  a failure  as  a garden  rose. 

(177)  MRS.  WAKEFIELD  CHRISTIE  MILLER  (H.T.)  (McGredy,  1909),  3. 
—Soft  blush  shaded  salmon,  outside  of  petals  vermilion  rose.  Very 
large,  loosely  built  blooms.  A fine  bedding  sort.  E. 

(178)  MRS.  HENRY  BOWLES  (H.T.)  (Chaplin  Bros.,  1921),  3.— Growth 
free  and  upright,  blooms  of  great  substance  and  beautifully  pointed; 
colour  warm  rosy  pink  shaded  with  salmon  orange.  Quite  distinct. 
Very  large  and  good,  but  mildews,  and  is  weak  stemmed.  E. 

(179)  MADAME  ANTOINE  MARI  (T.)  (Mari,  1900),  3 or  4.— Rosy  pink, 
washed  and  shaded  with  white.  It  is  a most  profuse  bloomer,  bearing 
double  flowers  of  good  shape  right  into  the  winter,  with  a practically 
disease-proof  foliage,  and  vigorous  growth.  Unless  well-grown  the 
stems  are  frequently  weak,  and  the  flowers  small.  While  many  people 
do  not  like  the  colour,  it  is  probably  the  most  profuse  and  continuous 
sort  in  the  list.  E. 

(180)  SOUVENIR  DE  GUSTAVE  PRAT  (H.T.)  (Pernet  Ducher,  1910),  F.3.— 
Light  sulphur  yellow  shading  to  white.  A large,  fairly  full  shapely 
bloom.  It  is  quite  free  flowering,  and  is  a good  garden  and  exhibition 
sort.  E. 

(181)  COVENT  GARDEN  (T.)  (B.  R.  Cant,  1919),  3. — Deep  crimson  with 
a black  shading.  A very  free  grower  and  flowerer  with  mildew-proof 
foliage.  Moderately  full.  Lacks  perfume,  but  is  liked  by  some 
growers  in  M. 

(182)  DIANA  (H.T.)  (Bees’  Ltd.,  1921),  3. — Malmaison  pink  is  the  pre- 
dominating colour  of  this  rose,  but  on  the  reflex  of  the  petals  it  fades 
away  and  merges  into  lemon  cream;  the  flower  is  full  with  petals  of 
leathery  substance,  opening  well  in  all  weathers.  A moderately 
vigorous  grower,  with  strong  disease-resistant  foliage.  E. 

(183)  MADAME  LAMBARD  (T.)  (Lacharme,  1877),  4. — Salmon  pink 
shaded  rose.  A very  vigorous  grower,  hut  not  as  popular  as  it  was 
twenty  years  ago.  The  colour  is  better  in  a cold  climate.  Does  not 
last  when  cut.  H.Mt. 

(184)  SOUVENIR  DE  LA  MALMAISON  (Bourbon)  (Beluze,  1843),  F.3.— 
Blush  rose  shaded  flesh.  A large,  flat  bloom.  Has  been  planted  for 
eighty  years,  and  is  now  considered  a back  number.  B. 

(185)  MA  FIANCEE  (H.T.)  (G.  A.  van  Rossem,  1922),  F.3.— Flower  dark 
crimson  shaded  black,  strongly  perfumed.  Growth  vigorous;  glossy, 
mildew-proof  foliage;  very  free  flowering.  Blues  badly.  Will  try  for 
another  season. 

(186)  CONSTANCE  CASSON  (H.T.)  (B.  R.  Cant,  1920),  F.2.— Coppery 

pink,  flushed  and  veined  with  apricot  yellow,  large,  double  and 
globular.  A very  rich  coloured  variety,  very  free  in  blooming.  This 
will  make  a splendid  dwarf  bedding  rose.  Growth  is  low,  but  not 
weak.  Although  of  Pernetiana  origin,  it  does  not  show  any  signs  of 
dying  back,  so  is  included  in  the  H.T.’s.  E. 

(187)  J.  G.  GLASSFORD  (H.T.)  (H.  Dickson,  1921),  F.4  or  6. — Buds  long 
and  pointed,  opening  to  flowers  of  great  weight  and  substance,  with 
high  pointed  centre.  Colour,  clear  deep  crimson  lake.  Upright  H.P. 
habit  of  growth.  So  far  has  shown  no  blooms  of  consequence. 

(188)  LA  TOSCA  (H.T.)  (Schwartz,  1900),  4. — Soft  pink,  shaded  rosy  white. 
A large,  semi-double,  very  free  flowering  garden  rose.  H.M.S. 

(189)  MARIE  VAN  HOUTTE  (T.)  (Ducher,  1871),  4. — Pale  lemon  yellow- 
edged  with  rose.  Large  semi-double  blooms,  very  freely  produced,  but 
which  hang  their  heads.  An  old  favourite,  but  declining.  E.

(190)  BESSIE  CHAPLIN  (H.T.)  (Chaplin  Bros.,  1921),  3.— Colour  bright 
pink,  blooms  large,  of  great  substance,  strong  upright  growth.  Mildews 
badly,  but  otherwise  good.  A.B.M.P.S. 

(191)  LOUISE  CRETTE  (H.T.)  (Chambard,  1915),  4.— Snow  white  with 
creamy  white  centre,  extra  large  and  very  double.  Opening  well  except 
in  cold  weather,  when  it  shows  a tendency  to  ball.  A seedling  from 
Frau  Karl  Druschki  and  Clb.  Kaiserin  Augusta  Victoria,  and  quite 
distinct,  but  not  free  enough  in  bloom.  B.M.S. 

(192)  WILLIAM  SHEAN  (H.T.)  (A.  Dickson,  1906),  2 or  3.— Pure  pink  of 
immense  size,  so  large,  in  fact,  as  to  be  quite  coarse  at  times,  and  far 
too  heavy  for  their  stems.  The  plant  is  a very  uncertain  grower,  and 
is  only  recommended  to  exhibitors. 

(193)  WHITE  OPHELIA  (H.T.)  (E.  G.  Hill,  1920),  F.3.— An  American 

novelty  of  great  excellence,  and  especially  valuable  for  massing  and 
cut  blooms.  Semi-double.  Westfield  Star  is  along  the  same  lines,  and 
is  so  far  showing  better. 

(194)  FELICITY  (H.T.)  (Clark  Bros.,  1919),  F.3. — Rose  pink,  with  silvery 
suffusion.  Large  pointed  blooms,  fairly  full,  fragrant  and  freely  pro- 
duced. Mildew-proof.  E. 

(195)  W.  E.  WALLACE  (H.T.)  (H.  Dickson  Ltd.,  1922),  F.2.— Flowers  very 
large,  full,  and  of  exquisite  form,  freely  and  abundantly  produced, 
colour  deep  golden  yellow,  without  shading ; very  'sweetly  scented. 

(196)  MISS  WILLMOTT  (H.T.)  (McGredy,  1916),  F.3. — Soft  sulphur,  cream 
with  a faint  flush  at  the  centre.  Large,  well-formed,  semi-double 
dainty  blooms.  A good  grower.  A.H.M.Mt.P.S. 

(197)  MDLLE.  CHRISTINE  DE  NOUE  (T.)  (Guillot,  1895),  4.— Rosy  lake. 
Moderately  full,  of  largest  size.  Free  flowering,  and  with  good  foliage, 
but  the  colour  purples  badly.  Not  recommended,  as  better  sorts  are 
available. 

(198)  W.  F.  MANN  (H.T.),  F.4. — A salmon  sport  from  Clb.  Mrs.  W.  J. 
Grant.  Equal  in  every  way  to  the  parent,  and  even  better  grower. 
Treat  as  a dwarf.  This  will  be  grown  much  more  when  better  known. 
A.M.P.S. 

(199)  H.  E.  RICHARDSON  (H.T.)  (H.  Dickson,  1913),  F.4.— Deep  rich 

crimson  of  perfect  form,  but  not  large.  Upright  H.P.  growth,  but 
liable  to  die  back,  and  only  moderate  in  bloom.  Better  sorts  are 
available. 

(200)  CORNELIS  TIMMERMANS  (H.T.)  (Timmermans,  1919),  F.3. — A 
very  large,  semi-double  rose,  of  a clear  colour,  with  deep  yellow  edge. 
Fragrant,  vigorous  and  free  blooming.  A.B.P.S.

Pernetiana  Roses 

This  new  race  takes  its  name  from  the  renowned  Hybridist  of  Lyons,  Mons. 
Pernet  Ducher.  He  commenced  by  crossing  the  Persian  yellow  with  a Hybrid 
Perpetual  (Antoine  Ducher),  and  produced  Soliel  d’Or.  Prom  this  variety  and  its 
close  relative,  Austrian  Copper,  we  have  had  some  of  the  loveliest  coloured  roses 
possible  to  conceive,  but  so  far,  almost  all  of  them  have  the  weak  foliage  of  both 
ancestors,  with  a particular  liability  to  black-spot.  This  disease  causes  premature 
defoliation,  and  in  moist  climates  the  shoots  die  back  to  the  bud  for  lack  of  proper 
ripening.  As  Adelaide  possesses  the  driest  atmosphere  of  all  the  capital  cities,  these 
roses  reach  their  fullest  perfection  in  that  place,  and,  wherever  Adelaide  conditi<  ns 
are  found,  similar  success  may  be  expected.  The  divisions  marked  “P”  are  also  quite 
satisfactory,  while  “M,”  having  a rather  moister  atmosphere,  is  somewhat  limited 
as  to  the  number  of  varieties  suitable.  In  "B”  and  “S”  they  are  not  satisfactory 
generally.  One  note  of  encouragement  must  be  struck,  however,  for  the  benefit  of 
the  growers  who  cannot  succeed  with  these  lovely  roses,  and  that  is  the  great 
improvement  in  the  disease-resistant  qualities  of  foliage  of  the  latest  varieties,  and 
we  believe  that  a further  infusion  of  hardy  H.T.  blood  will  soon  make  them  successful 
anywhere.  The  roses  as  a class  are  quite  indifferent  to  extreme  heat  or  intense  cold, 
but  succumb  to  a humid  atmosphere.  Unless  specially  mentioned,  all  the  varieties 
are  liable  to  weak  stem.  A number  of  experiments  are  in  train  for  improving  the 
growth,  but  no  definite  results  are  yet  available.  As  a class,  they  do  better  as 
standards  on  the  Briar  stock  than  when  dwarf  worked  on  Noisette.  Price,  1/6  each; 
16/-  dozen;  postage  extra. 

(1)  SOUVENIR  DE  CLAUDIUS  PERNET  (Pernet  Ducher,  1922),  F. 2. — A glorified 
Constance  without  its  red  markings.  The  flowers  are  very  large,  full  and  of 
a rich  sunflower  yellow,  and  are  borne  on  strong  stems.  It  is  quite  distinct 
from  other  Pernetianas,  as  the  wood  is  very  hard  and  quite  unlike  the  pithy, 
die-back  shoots  of  so  many  of  this  type.  This  rose  has  improved  wonderfully 
and  is  of  a richness  of  colour  that  would  command  attention  anywhere.  Lasts 
well  when  cut.  A hot  weather  rose,  and  liable  to  ball  in  wet  weather. 
A.M.P.S. 

(2)  GOLDEN  EMBLEM  (McGredy,  1917),  F.2. — Colour,  cadmium  yellow,  buds, 
reddish  gold.  A great  improvement  on  Rayon  d’Or,  the  colour  being  richer 
and  deeper,  with  larger  and  more  perfect  blooms,  and,  at  its  best  it  sur- 
passes Marechal  Niel  in  shape  and  formation,  and,  with  its  wonderful  colour, 
will  be  a telling  decorative  flower.  The  habit  of  growth  is  ideal,  and  stems 
are  strong.  Does  best  on  standards,  A.H.M.Mt.P.,  and  on  standards  only  in  S. 

(3)  LOS  ANGELES  (Howard  & Smith,  1916),  F.3. — Luminous  flame  pink,  toned 
with  coral-  and  shading  to  gold.  Large,  fairly  full  blooms,  of  good  shape. 
The  dividing  line  between  Pernetianas  and  Hybrid  Teas  is  becoming  difficult 
to  determine.  Moderately  successful  in  B.  and  S.  on  standards.  E. 

(4)  W.  F.  DREER  (Howard  & Smith,  1920),  F. 3. — Golden  yellow,  shaded  peach 
and  old  rose.  A really  lovely  semi-double  variety  of  splendid  growth,  and 
very  free  flowering.  Strongly  perfumed  and  recommended  as  a show  bloom 
or  garden  variety  of  the  first  grade.  This  is  of  the  same  parentage,  and 
could  be  justly  called  a yellow  Los  Angeles.  A.H.M.Mt.P.S. 

(5)  SOUVENIR  DE  R.  B.  FERGUSON  (Ferguson,  1922),  F.2.— A most  distinct 
and  attractive  novelty.  Rich  coppery  apricot  which  varies  considerably  at 
different  seasons.  Blooms  are  large,  and  well  formed,  and  keep  their  shape 
well.  A.H.M.Mt.P.S. 

(6)  MADAME  EDOUARD  HERRIOT  (Pernet  Ducher,  1913),  2 or  3. — Coral  red 
shaded  with  yellow  and  bright  rosy  scarlet  passing  to  prawn  red,  but  coral 
red  shaded  with  yellow  on  the  base.  Flower  of  medium  size,  semi-double, 
green  bronzed  foliage.  Growth  vigorous,  of  spreading,  branching  habit,  with 
many  long  thorns.  This  rose  won  “The  Daily  Mail’’  prize  of  £1000.  Does 
moderately  well  in  S.  on  standards.  A.H.M.Mt.P. 

(7)  INDEPENDENCE  DAY  (Bees’  Ltd.,  1919),  F.2. — Vigorous  growth  and  glossy 
mildew-proof  foliage;  free  and  continuous  in  bloom;  buds  olive-shaped, 
developing  into  well-modelled  semi-double  flowers  with  flame-coloured  stains, 
petals  of  sunflower  gold,  overlaying  apricot.  Colour  fades  badly.  H.M.Mt. 

(8)  ISOBEL  (McGredy,  1916),  F.3. — A superb  single  variety,  with  wonderful 
colouring,  described  as  carmine  flushed  with  orange  scarlet.  In  A.H.M.  grows 
quite  vigorously,  but  in  B.  and  S.  shows  a tendency  to  die  back  in  winter, 
due  to  its  Pernetiana  origin.  Closes  at  night  when  cut,  and  is,  therefore,  a 
failure  for  decorative  purposes. 

(9)  MABEL  MORSE  (McGredy,  1922),  F.2. — Pure  golden  yellow  of  a most 

striking  shade.  The  buds  are  of  good  shape,  and  open  to  semi-double  flowers. 
Best  on  standards.  A.H.M.Mt.P.S. 

(10)  WILLOWMERE  (Pernet  Ducher,  1913),  3.— A large,  full  bloom  in  which 
shrimp  pink  is  the  ordinary  colour,  though  liable  to  vary  somewhat.  Very 
subject  to  mildew.  A.M.P.S.

(11)  ARIEL  (Bees’  Ltd.,  1921),  3. — After  the  style  of  Independence  Day,  but  the 
semi-double  blooms  are  larger,  better  shape  and  sweetly  scented.  Sunflower 
gold  stained  with  flame  colour  which  fades  rather  quickly.  Mildew-proof. 
A.H.M.Mt.P.S. 

(12)  GEISHA  (Rossem,  1920),  2. — Pure  deep  orange  yellow,  gradually  changing 
to  golden  yellow  as  the  bloom  develops,  the  buds  long  pointed,  streaked  with 
garnet.  A counterpart  of  Mme.  E.  Herriot,  from  which  it  sported.  A.H.M. 
Mt.P.S. 

(13)  EMMA  WRIGHT  (McGredy,  1918),  F.2. — A pure  orange  semi-double  bloom 
which  is  quite  distinct  from  any  other  variety.  Good  foliage.  H.M.S. 

(14)  REVEREND  WILLIAMSON  (Pernet  Ducher,  1921),  2 or  S'. — Coral  red  shaded 
carmine  lake;  large,  full  and  globular;  long  deep  coral  red  bud.  A vigorous 
grower  of  spreading  branching  habit  and  reddish  bronze-green  foliage.  A 
very  beautiful  colour,  deeper  than  the  other  varieties  in  existence.  This  is 
the  absolute  limit  for  duplication  of  names.  There  are  distinct  roses  for  all 
the  following:  Rev.  D.  R.  Williamson,  D.  R.  Williamson,  and  Rev.  William- 
son. A.H.M.Mt.P.S. 

(15)  JEAN  C.  N.  FORRESTIER  (Pernet  Ducher,  1919),  3. — Carmine  lake,  slightly 
tinted  with  orange.  A large,  rather  coarse  bloom.  A.H.M.Mt.P.S. 

(16)  SOUVENIR  DE  GEORGES  PERNET  (Pernet  Ducher,  1921),  F.2.  or  3.— 
Beautiful  Orient  red  colour,  the  end  of  petals  cochineal  carmine,  shaded  with 
yellow,  very  large,  full  and  globular,  oval  bud  carried  on  erect  stem.  A 
vigorous  grower  of  branching  habit,  with  few  long  thorns  and  bronze-green 
foliage.  Very  good.  A.H.M.Mt.P.S. 

(17)  CONSTANCE  (Pernet  Ducher,  1915),  2. — Daffodil  yellow  streaked  crimson.  A 
very  free  flowerer.  Superseded  by  Souvenir  de  Claudius  Pernet. 

(18)  MADAME  A.  DREUX  (Soupert  & Notting,  1921),  2. — Deep  golden  yellow, 
large,  fairly  full  and  of  good  form.  A.H.M.Mt.P.S. 

(19)  MRS.  FARMER  (Pernet  Ducher,  1918),  2. — Medium-sized  flower.  Colour, 
Indian  yellow,  reverse  of  petals  reddish  apricot.  A loose,  semi-double  flower. 
A.H.M.Mt.P. 

(20)  TOISON  D’OR  (Pernet  Ducher,  1921),  2. — Apricot  yellow  shaded  orange.  Low 
branching  habit.  A.H.M.Mt.P.S. 

(21)  THE  QUEEN  ALEXANDRA  (McGredy,  1918),  3. — Vermilion  and  orange,  in  a 
combination  rightly  described  as  “Jazz.”  Does  not  seem  to  like  standard 
stocks.  A.H.M.Mt.P. 

(22)  LYON  (Pernet  Ducher,  1907),  F.3. — Shrimp  pink  at  end  of  petals,  centre 
coral  red  or  salmon,  shaded  chrome  yellow.  Flowers  large,  full  and  per- 
fectly formed.  Petals  of  great  substance.  Very  fragrant.  A.H.M.Mt.P. 

(23)  MRS.  AMBROSE  RICCARDO  (McGredy,  1914),  F.3. — Deep  honey  yellow.  A 
large  bloom  sometimes  quite  fit  for  exhibition.  A.H.M.Mt.P.S. 

(24)  MRS.  REDFORD  (McGredy,  1919),  F.2. — Bright  apricot,  with  large  petals 
gracefully  reflexed;  sweetly  scented;  semi-double.  A.H.M.Mt.P. 

(25)  PRINCESS  VICTORIA  (McGredy,  1921),  F.3.— Colour,  glowing  scarlet-crim- 
son, with  ochre  orange  base;  perfect  form;  semi-double;  very  free  flowering 
and  sweetly  scented.  A.H.M.Mt.P. 

(26)  SEVERINE  (Pernet  Ducher,  1918),  3. — Rich  coral  red  fading  to  prawn  red. 
Most  beautiful  semi-double  blooms.  A.H.M.Mt.P. 

(27)  MRS.  C.  V.  HAWORTH  (A.  Dickson,  1919),  F.2. — Apricot  shading  to  buff. 
Large-petalled  semi-double  blooms.  H.M. 


Climbing  Roses 

LARGE  FLOWERING  SECTION. 

The  varieties  in  this  class  are  much  more  limited  than  the  dwarf  section,  and, 
generally  speaking,  do  not  flower  quite  so  freely,  while  some  few  sorts  are  spring 
blooming  only.  They  differ  in  style  of  growth,  some  being  rampant  climbers  quite 
capable  of  covering  a wall  up  to  20  feet  high;  others,  usually  called  “Pillar  Roses,’’ 
of  more  moderate  growth,  suitable  for  furnishing  the  supports  of  a pergola  or  arch- 
way. Except  in  a few  instances,  they  do  not  flower  the  first  year  of  planting,  as 
all  blooms  are  produced  on  the  wood  made  the  previous  year. 

For  covering  fences,  arches,  pergolas,  walls,  old  trees  and  stumps,  this  large- 
flowered  section  is  unsurpassed.  The  other  sections  listed  are  also  useful  for  the 
same  class  of  work,  but  will  be  described  separately  to  prevent  confusion.  It 
is  particularly  important  when  ordering  a climbing  sport  of  a dwarf  variety  to  dis- 
tinctly write  “Climbing”  against  the  name,  as  there  is  no  other  way  to  distinguish 
it  from  its  parent.  Customers  frequently  experience  disappointment  in  this  respect 
by  carelessness  in  ordering  “Maman  Cochet”  and  expecting  a climber.

(1)  MISS  MARION  MANIFOLD  (H.T.)  (Adamson,  3913),  6. — A Victorian-raised 
variety  that  more  than  holds  its  own  with  the  imported  kinds  from  the 
older  established  rose-growing  centres.  It  is  a particularly  vigorous  climber, 
and  right  into  winter  it  carries  splendid  big  blooms  of  fairly  full  petalage 
and  refined  form.  The  colour  is  crimson  scarlet  and  of  a quality  that  does 
not  easily  fade  or  blue,  while  it  is  lightly  Bourbon  scented.  The  foliage  is 
the  weakest  point,  as  it  (like  almost  all  other  roses)  is  subject  to  black-spot. 
Still,  it  stands  easily  ahead  of  many  older  varieties  in  the  number  of  plants 
sold,  showing,  as  it  has  been  out  some  years,  that  the  rose-growing  com- 
munity have  proved  the  value  of  this  excellent  variety.  For  most  effective 
results,  mass  several  plants  together.  A Californian  nurseryman  was  in- 
formed by  Mr.  R.  A.  Nicholson,  of  Hong  Kong,  that  in  all  his  collection 
there  was  not  a red  climber  equal  to  this  Australian-raised  variety.  E. 

(2)  BLACK  BOY  (H.T.)  (Alister  Clark,  1919),  F.6. — This  magnificent  variety, 
raised  in  Australia,  has  only  been  out  six  years,  and  in  that  time  has 
achieved  a wonderful  popularity.  It  is  easily  in  advance  of  overseas  pro- 
ductions, and,  when  known  in  other  countries,  will  be  much  sought  after.  In 
colour  it  is  deep  velvety  crimson,  shaded  blackish  maroon,  and  overlaying 
fiery  scarlet.  The  blooms  are  large,  semi-double,  and  are  produced  on  long, 
stiff  stems.  In  addition  to  extraordinary  vigour,  it  is  sweetly  scented,  and 
has  mildew-proof  foliage.  Reports  from  all  sources  proclaim  Black  Boy  as 
one  of  the  finest  varieties  ever  sent  out  from  any  country.  One  enthusiast 
declared  it  to  be  the  "Rose  of  a Century.”  The  only  weak  point  is  that  the 
flowers  do  not  hold  their  shape  well  when  picked.  As  this  variety  revels  in 
the  heat,  it  should  not  be  planted  in  a cold,  sunless  position.  E. 

(3)  CLIMBING  CHATENAY  (H.T.)  (Easlea,  1916),  F.6.— Madame  Abel  Chatenay 
has  long  occupied  a high  place  in  the  N.S.W.  National  Rose  Society’s  list 
of  roses  for  garden  decoration,  and  a climbing  sport  in  salmon  pink  fills  a 
long-felt  want.  No  further  comment  should  be  necessary.  E. 

(4)  CLIMBING  MADAME  SECOND  WEBER  (H.T.)  (Ardagh),  6. — This  beauty 
is  only  just  being  appreciated  at  its  proper  value.  Rosy  salmon  blooms 
very  freely  produced.  Recommended.  E. 

(5)  CLIMBING  WHITE  MAMAN  COCHET  (T.)  (1907),  6. — Another  locally- 
raised  variety.  The  habit  is  most  vigorous,  almost  too  rampant,  and  in 
other  respects  the  plant  is  quite  equal  to  the  parent  dwarf,  so  well  and 
favourably  known.  E. 

(6)  CLIMBING  LAURENT  CARLE  (H.T.)  (Rosen,  1923),  F.5. — Good  red  climb- 
ing roses  have  always  been  scarce,  and  a strong-growing  climbing  sport  of 
the  justly  popular  "Laurent  Carle”  should  prove  a warm  favourite.  It 
is  free  flowering,  mildew-proof,  sweetly  perfumed,  and  a genuine  climber. 
Don’t  overlook  Climbing  General  MacArthur  and  Climbing  Hoosier  Beauty. 
They  are  all  good.  E. 

(7)  CLIMBING  MAMAN  COCHET  (T.)  (Upton,  1909),  6. — A very  vigorous  sport 
from  the  firmly  established  favourite,  also  locally  raised.  Exceedingly 
popular.  E. 

(8)  CLIMBING  K.  A.  VICTORIA  (H.T.)  (A.  Dickson,  1897),  5 or  6.— White 

roses  are  scarce  in  both  dwarfs  and  climbers,  and  this  sort  will  be  much 
appreciated  where  variety  of  colour  is  desired.  It  is  a variable  performer, 
in  some  instances  only  moderate,  in  others  a rampant  grower.  E. 

(9)  CLIMBING  GEORGES  SCHWARTZ  (T.)  (Knight,  1917),  F.5. — For  colour  this 
is  in  a class  by  itself,  being  rich,  buttercup  yellow.  It  is  variable  in  habit, 
and  cannot  always  be  depended  on  to  climb.  Some  plants,  worked  from 
genuine  climbers,  showed  only  vigorous,  bushy  growth  when  transplanted, 
although  they  were  of  climbing  growth  in  the  Nursery.  E. 

(10)  NOELLA  NABONNAND  (H.T.)  (Nabonnand,  1900),  F.6. — Extra  large,  sweet- 
scented,  almost  single  flowers,  velvety  crimson  with  a white  eye.  A very 
popular  variety.  E. 

(11)  AUSTRALIAN  BEAUTY  (H.T.)  (Kerslake,  1912),  F.6.— Another  local  variety 
which  has  been  thoroughly  tested.  It  is  darker  than  Miss  Marion  Manifold, 
but  on  hot,  sunny  days  blues  badly.  This  might  be  partially  prevented  by 
planting  in  shady  positions.  The  foliage  is  distinctly  handsome,  and  not 
affected  by  disease.  Unlike  many  climbers,  this  variety  is  sweetly  scented. 
B.S. 

(12)  CLOTH  OF  GOLD  (Noisette)  (Coquereau,  1843),  6. — This  is  a rampant  grower 
which  does  not  come  into  its  best  until  at  least  four  years  old.  Pale  sulphur 
yellow  with  deeper  centre.  A very  old  favourite.  E. 

(13)  CLIMBING  OPHELIA  (H.T.)  (A.  Dickson,  1920),  F.6. — Genuine  climbing 

habit  and  producing  even  better  flowers  than  the  parent.  The  only  climber 
in  this  colour.  Recommended  as  one  of  the  very  best.  E. 


Rose  and  Tree  Specialists,  Epping,  N.S.W,

(14)  CLIMBING  PERLE  DES  JARDINS  (T.)  (Henderson,  1889),  F.6. — A very 
vigorous  climber  bearing  large,  full,  tea-scented  flowers  identical  with  the 
parent  dwarf.  An  excellent  variety.  E. 

(15)  CLIMBING  LADY  HILLINGDON  (T.)  (Hicks,  1917),  F.5. — A valuable  addi- 
tion to  the  really  good  climbing  yellow  roses.  In  the  Portland  Test  Garden 
this  variety  produced  104  blooms  per  plant  for  a two  years’  test,  and  scored 
88  l-3rd  per  cent,  of  marks.  E. 

(16)  WALTER  C.  CLARK  (H.T.)  (Paul,  1917),  F.6. — Deep  Maroon  crimson  shaded 
black.  The  blooms  are  moderately  full,  very  sweetly  scented,  and  rarely 
show  any  tendency  to  blue.  Last  year  this  was  listed  amongst  the  dwarfs, 
but  the  plants  now  show  genuine  climbing  growth,  so  it  is  placed  in  its  right 
position.  In  Sydney  climate  it  blooms  well  in  winter.  Highly  recom- 
mended. E. 

(17)  CLIMBING  MRS.  W.  J.  GRANT  (H.T.  (Paul  & Son,  1899),  3 or  5. — This  is 
not  satisfactory  as  a climber,  but  plants  worked  from  so-called  climbers  are 
much  better  than  the  old  poor-growing  dwarf  of  this  name.  Treat  exactly 
like  any  other  bush  for  best  results.  A.M.P.S. 

(18)  GOLDEN  VISION  (H.T.)  (Alister  Clark,  1922),  F.6. — A distinct  break  in 
climbing  roses,  with  wreaths  of  bright  green  foliage  that  should  carry  it  into 
all  gardens,  apart  from  its  pretty  golden  yellow  flowers  that  are  borne 
in  greatest  quantity  in  the  flush  of  spring.  It  is  mildew-proof,  a good 
grower,  and  quite  distinct.  It  is  a seeding  from  Marechal  Nlel,  and  carries 
some  of  the  colour  and  scent  of  the  old  rose,  with  the  merit  of  being  suited 
to  this  climate.  The  flowers  are  rather  small  and  fade  quickly.  E. 

(19)  CIMBING  SUNBURST  (H.T.)  (Stuart  Low,  1914),  F.6. — A particularly  strong 
climbing  sport  that  is  just  beginning  to  get  well  known.  The  semi-double 
flowers  are  even  superior  to  the  dwarf,  and  the  long,  shapely  buds  of  deep 
yellow  are  its  own  recommendation.  E. 

(20)  CLIMBING  LIBERTY  (H.T.)  (H.  B.  May,  1908),  F. 5 or  6. — Brilliant  crimson 
of  perfect  shape.  Same  variable  habit  as  No.  8.  E. 

(21)  SACHSENGRUSS  (Saxony’s  Greetings)  (H.T.  (Hozer  & Klemm,  1912),  6. — 
Originally  this  came  out  as  an  H.P.,  but  must  be  classed  as  a very  vigorous 

climber  almost  continuously  in  bloom.  The  flowers  are  of  immense  size  and 
perfect  shape,  and  in  colour  delicate  flesh  shaded  China  rose.  Highly  recom- 
mended for  B.S.  It  is  not  liked  in  M. 

(22)  CLIMBING  CHATEAU  DE  CLOS  VOUGEOT  (H.T.)  (Morse,  1920),  F.5. — 
A most  valuable  climbing  form  of  this  very  distinct  and  esteemed  variety 
which  is  one  of  the  darkest  H.T.’s  grown.  Shows  good  climbing  habit.  E. 

(23)  W.  A.  RICHARDSON  (Noisette),  (Ducher,  1878),  F.5. — Rich  orange  yellow, 
borne  in  clusters.  A popular  pillar  rose.  E. 

(24)  REINE  MARIE  HENRIETTE  (T.)  (Levet,  1878),  5. — A very  showy,  free- 
flowering  variety.  Large,  rosy  cerise  blooms.  Subject  to  mildew,  and  foliage 
is  rather  sparse.  E. 

(25)  CLIMBING  PAPA  GONTIER  (T.)  (Cherrier,  1904),  5.— Flowers  identical  with 
the  dwarf.  A moderate  climber.  E. 

(26)  SOUVENIR  DE  LEONIE  VIENNOT  (H.T.)  (Bernaix,  1897),  6. — Beautiful 

semi-double  pink  flowers  shaded  heliotrope  and  yellow.  A wonderful  grower 
with  abundant  foliage  which,  however,  is  liable  to  mildew.  A profuse  bloomer 
in  spring,  with  a moderate  crop  later  on.  Recommended.  E. 

(27)  CLIMBING  LA  FRANCE  (H.T.)  (Henderson,  1893),  F.5  or  3. — It  was  claimed, 
when  first  sent  out,  that  this  variety  grew  as  well  as  Climbing  Perle  des 
Jardins.  If  this  is  correct,  the  plant  has  lost  its  old  vigour,  and  should  never 
be  used  for  a climber.  Grow  as  a dwarf.  It  appears  to  be  generally  successful 
only  in  mountain  country. 

(28)  MARECHAL  NIEL  (T.)  (Pradel,  1864),  F.5. — Bright  golden  yellow  of  splen- 
did form,  but  weak  stemmed.  Deliciously  fragrant,  and,  if  extra  well  grown, 
a success  for  a few  years,  but  canker  invariably  supervenes,  and  the  plant 
deteriorates.  A very  few  can  grow  it  well. 

(29)  CLIMBING  IRISH  FIREFLAME  (H.T.)  (A.  Dickson,  1916),  F. 5. — A very 
uncertain  variety  as  to  its  climbing  habits.  On  transplanting  some  will  refuse 
to  climb  at  all,  making  instead  a tall  bush.  The  flowers  are  single,  orange 
crimson,  like  the  dwarf.  H.M.Mt.S. 

(SO)  NORA  CUNNINGHAM  (H.T.)  (Alister  Clark,  1920),  5. — A very  fine  climber; 
suitable  for  pillars,  tripods,  or  trellises.  Flowers  are  large,  decorative,  and 
semi-double  in  form.  Colour  is  pure  pink  in  spring,  and  becomes  particularly 
vivid  in  autumn.  E. 

(31)  KITTY  KININMONTH  (H.T.)  (Alister  Clark,  1922),  6.— A brilliant  climbing 
rose,  producing  huge  semi-double  decorative  flowers,  which  are  a bright 
carmine  rose  colour.  This  rose  has  enormous  petals,  and  is  perfectly  even  in 
colour.  The  flowers  are  freely  produced  all  over  the  plant,  on  splendid  stiff 
stems,  which  show  them  off  to  great  advantage.  The  plant  clothes  itself 
with  splendid  green,  mildew-proof  foliage,  which  by  contrast  enhances  the 
telling  effect  of  the  immense  flowers.  Recommended.  E.

HAZLEWOOD  BROS 


(32)  PAUL’S  SCARLET  CLIMBER  (Paul  & Son,  1916),  6.— Vivid  scarlet,  shaded 
bright  crimson;  medium-size,  semi-double  blooms.  A particularly  bright 
colour,  but  spring  blooming  only.  E. 

(33)  ZEPHIRINE  DROUHIN  (Bourbon)  (Bizot,  1873),  F.5. — A remarkably  popu- 
lar climbing  variety.  Flowers  a clear  shade  of  pink,  delightfully  perfumed. 
Almost  thornless.  Recommended  as  the  best  pillar  rose  available.  A.B.M.P.S. 

(34)  FORTUNE’S  YELLOW  (Noisette)  (Fortune,  1845),  6. — Bronzy  yellow  shaded 
pink.  Medium-sized  blooms  in  great  profusion  in  the  spring  only.  It  is  also 
called  Beauty  of  Glazenwood.  E. 

(35)  CLB.  MRS.  AARON  WARD  (H.T. ) (Alex.  Dickson  & Son,  1922),  F.5. — A 
climbing  sport  of  this  distinct  and  esteemed  variety.  It  is  possessed  of 
remarkable  vigour  and  wonderfully  free  flowering  characteristices.  Quite 
first  rate,  and  a most  valuable  addition  to  the  climbing  section  of  Hybrid 
Tea  Roses.  E. 

( 3 C ) CLB.  MADAME  EDOUARD  HERRIOT  (Per.)  (Ketten  Bros.,  1921).  5.— A 
vigorous  climbing  sport  of  this  justly  esteemed  rose,  flowering  in  great  pro- 
fusion. E. 

(37)  MERMAID  (Hyb.  of  Rosa  Bracteata)  (Wm.  Paul  & Son,  1918),  6 or  4. — 
Flowers  sulphur  yellow,  the  deep  amber  stamens  standing  out  prominently  and 
throwing  a rich  shade  of  yellow  over  the  whole  of  the  blossom,  of  great  size 
but  single,  produced  continuously  from  early  summer  till  late  in  autumn. 
Growth  climbing;  the  folage  is  most  effective,  the  leaves  being  very  large 
and  massive,  of  a deep  shining  green,  and  the  young  shoots  tinged  with 
red.  A very  distinct  and  charming  acquisition  to  the  single-flowered  roses; 
it  is  well  suited  for  growing  on  walls,  trellises,  buildings,  and  pillars,  also 
for  forming  large  bushes  in  the  garden.  A beauty.  See  illustration.  E. 

(38)  QUEEN  OF  HEARTS  (H.T.)  (Alister  Clark,  1919),  F.6. — A large-flowered, 
semi-double,  sweet-scented  variety.  Rosy  pink  flowers  and  mildew-proof 
foliage.  E. 

(39)  REVE  D’OR  (Noisette  (Ducher,  1869),  6. — Coppery  yellow,  semi-double 

blooms,  produced  in  great  profusion.  Called  “Climbing  Safrano”  in 

America.  E. 

(40)  JESSIE  CLARK  (Hyb.  Gigantea)  (Alister  Clark),  6. — Extra  large  single 
blooms  of  rich  pink  colour.  A splendid  grower  with  disease-proof  foliage. 
The  decorative  qualities  of  this  variety  were  emphasised  at  Farmer’s 
Show  in  Sydney,  in  1922,  when  it  scored  first  prize  for  decorated  table. 
Spring  blooming  only.  E. 

(41)  CLIMBING  CAROLINE  TESTOUT  (H.T.)  (Chauvry,  1902),  F.6. — Pale  satiny 
pink.  A very  free  bloomer.  E. 

(42)  BARDOU  JOB  (H.T.)  (Nabonnand,  1887),  F.5. — Large,  semi-double,  black- 
ish crimson  blooms.  Very  rich  in  colour  and  fragrance.  E. 

(43)  SCORCHER  (H.T.)  (Alister  Clark,  1922),  6. — A climbing  rose  absolutely 

unique  in  colour,  and  a decorative  type.  The  semi-double  flowers,  which 
are  freely  produced,  may  perhaps  be  best  described  as  being  of  a true  crimson 
colour.  E. 

(44)  CLIMBING  DEVONIENSIS  (T.)  (Parvitt,  1858),  F.6. — Creamy  white  with 
blush  centre.  Almost  too  vigorous  in  growth,  and  mildews  badly.  A.B.P.S. 

(45)  MADAME  JULES  GRAVEREAUX  (T.)  (Soupert  & Notting,  1901),  6.— 

Buff  shaded  pink.  This  variety  is  only  kept  in  the  list  by  its  success 
as  an  exhibition  flower.  As  a garden  variety  it  is  too  variable,  and 
freqeuntly  disappointing.  B.S. 

(46)  MADAME  DRIOUT  (T.)  (Thiriat,  1904),  5. — A striped  sport  of  Reine  Marie 
Henriette.  E. 

(47)  LADY  WATERLOW  (H.T.)  (Nabonnand,  1902),  5 or  6. — Medium-sized  blooms 
in  clusters.  Flowers  are  semi-double,  pale  pink,  and  an  additional  feature 
is  the  most  handsome  foliage.  Recommended.  E. 

(48)  FLYING  COLOURS  (Alister  Clark,  1922),  6. — A hybrid  from  Rosa  Gigantea 
that  has  won  many  admirers  in  a very  little  time.  It  is  a vigorous  climber 
producing  large  single  flowers  fully  5 inches  across  of  a deep  cerise.  One 
of  the  first  to  bloom.  Spring  flowering  only.  E. 

(49)  GAMON’S  CLIMBING  GROLEZ  (H.T.)  (1911),  5. — The  name  has  been 

slightly  altered  to  distinguish  it  from  a so-called  Climbing  Madame 
Jules  Grolez  sent  out  some  years  ago  which  was  a deliberate  fraud. 
It  was  certainly  a climber,  but  nothing  like  Madame  Jules  Grolez  in 
bloom  or  other  characteristics.  The  present  variety  is  a genuine  climber 
from  the  real  Chinese  pink  dwarf  variety.  E. 

(50)  HARBINGER  (Hyb.  Gig.)  (Alister  Clark),  6. — In  this  rose  we  have  an  early, 
spring-flowering,  climber  of  good  habit  and  just  what  is  required  to  fill 
the  bleak  days  of  very  early  spring.  When  covered  with  its  very  large 
single  flowers  of  pure,  refined  pink  it  brightens  the  garden  while  the 
daffodils  are  still  in  flower.  A good  grower,  with  healthy,  elegant  foliage. 
Suitable  to  all  climates.  In  a hedge,  or  on  a fence,  it  is  more  popular 
at  “Glenara”  than  “Sinica  Anemone,’’  and  its  flowers  are  of  a better  shape 
and  colour.  For  early  cutting  it  is  a fine  companion  to  “Jessie  Clark” 
and  “Flying  Colours.”  Recommended  where  singles  are  not  disliked.  E.

Rose  and  Tree  Specialists,  Epping,  N.S.W. 


Hybrid  Perpetual  Roses 

This  class  of  rose  is  fast  losing  favour  with  growers.  It  is  sometimes 
called  the  Spring  Flowering  Section,  but  since  the  advent  of  so  many  dark 
red  Hybrid  Teas,  the  demand  has  fallen  off  in  favour  of  the  newer,  ever-bloom- 
ing varieties.  Still,  for  exhibitors,  a few  are  indispensable,  and  the  best  are  listed 
here.  Price:  1/6  each;  16/-  dozen.  Pos.tage  extra. 

(1)  GLOIRE  DE  CHEDANE  GUINOISSEAU  (Guinoisseau,  1907),  3.— Very  bright 

vermilion,  sometimes  velvety.  This  is  a splendid  show  bloom  and  quite  a 
good  garden  variety.  E. 

(2)  PRINCE  CAMILLE  DE  ROHAN  (Verdier,  1861),  F.3  or  4. — Velvety  maroon, 

shaded  black  of  good  form;  a good  opener;  one  of  the  very  best.  (Syn. 
Dr.  Rushpler).  E. 

(3)  DUKE  OF  EDINBURGH  (Paul  & Son,  1868),  F.3. — Rich  crimson  scarlet, 

shaded  maroon.  Free  flowering.  E. 

(4)  PAUL  NEYRON  (Levet,  1869),  F.3.  or  4. — Deep  rose.  Blooms  are  of  immense 

size.  E. 

(5)  HUGH  DICKSON  (H.  Dickson,  1904),  3 or  4. — Colour,  brilliant  crimson,  shaded 

scarlet;  good  size  and  splendid  form.  E. 

(6)  ROGER  LAMBELIN  (Schwartz,  1891),  3. — Crimson  scarlet;  each  petal  Is 

margined  with  a pure  white  band,  giving  the  flower  a remarkable  and 
striking  appearance;  very  free  flowering.  E. 

(7)  MRS.  JOHN  LAING  (Bennett,  1887),  F.3. — Soft  pink,  flowers  of  good  form; 

free  blooming.  E. 

(8)  CORONATION  (H.  Dickson,  1913),  2. — Strong  grower,  fine  foliage,  flesh 

to  shrimp  pink.  This  variety  must  not  be  confused  with  the  red  Wlchurai- 
ana  of  the  same  name.  E. 

(9)  XAVIER  OLIBO  (Lacharme,  1864),  3. — -Velvety  crimson,  shaded  amaranth; 

a good  exhibition  variety.  E. 

(10)  CAPTAIN  CHRISTY  (Lacharme,  187S),  3. — Rosy  flesh,  deeper  in  centre; 

a good  rose  of  dwarf  habit.  E. 


Dwarf  Polyantha  Roses 

The  list  we  offer  is  picked  from  over  100  varieties,  and,  for  convenience,  is 
divided  into  different  types.  Price,  1/6  each;  16/-  dozen. 


Orleans  Type 

A class  of  Miniature  Roses  producing  their  flowers  in  clusters,  almost  con- 
tinuously throughout  the  season.  Their  dwarf,  compact  habit  of  growth  makes 
them  specially  desirable  for  massing,  dwarf  hedges,  edges  to  beds,  or  planting 
in  beds  of  stadards.  Suitable  everywhere. 

(1)  ELLEN  POULSEN  (Poulsen,  1911),  2. — Brilliant  pink;  large,  fairly  full, 

sweetly  scented. 

(2)  ORLEANS  (Levasseur,  1909),  2.- — -Carmine  suffused  rose,  white  centre.  The 

best  variety  to  date.  Special  quotations  for  large  quantities. 

(3)  MISS  EDITH  CAVELL  (Poly.)  (Meiderwyk,  1917),  1 or  2. — A scarlet  crimson 

sport  from  Orleans,  possessing  all  the  parent’s  qualities.  A particularly  clear 
colour,  and  one  that  promises  well  in  our  climate.  This  must  not  be  con- 
fused with  the  Edith  Cavell,  and  Ivory  white  H.T.  rose  sent  out  five 
years  ago.  This  is  one  of  the  really  fine  novelties,  and  promises  to  dis- 
place all  other  red  polyanthas.  It  is  a genuine  sport  of  Orleans;  the  colour 
burns  somewhat  in  hot  sun,  but  it  is  nevertheless  a most  valuable  acquisi- 
tion. Highly  recommended.  Displaces  Glory  of  Hurst,  Perle  des  Rouges, 
Marechal  Foch,  Koster’s  Orleans,  Verdun,  and  Erna  Teschendorff. 

(4)  MAMAN  TURBAT  (Turbat,  1911),  1. — China  rose,  shaded  peach.  This  Is  a 

very  beautiful  variety. 

(5)  E.  N.  WARD  (Kershaw,  1919),  3. — Warm  pink,  sometimes  tipped  with  car- 

mine. Does  well  in  cool  climates  where  the  colour  is  richer. 

(6)  CORAL  CLUSTER  (Murrell,  1921),  1. — A coral  pink  sport  from  Orleans. 

A lovely  colour,  but  fades  to  white  in  hot  sun.  Should  be  tried. 

(7)  LOUISE  WALTER  (Walter,  1909),  1. — Porcelain  pink,  shaded  white. 

(8)  JEANNIE  SOUPERT  (Soupert  & Notting,  1913),  1. — White  with  pale  pink. 

flushing.

HAZLEWOOD  BROS 


Cecil  Brunner  Type 

The  varieties  in  this  section  are  the  perfectly  shaped  Miniature  Roses,  borne 
in  small  bunches,  and  especially  useful  for  buttonholes,  posies  and  other  decorative 
work.  They  are  not  so  suitable  for  bedding-  as  the  previous  type,  but  should  not 
be  left  out  of  any  collection.  Successful  in  all  climates. 

(1)  CECIL  BRUNNER  (Ducher,  1880),  1. — Delicate  salmon  pink,  with  coppery 

centre. 

(2)  ETOILE  LUISANTE  (Turbat,  1918),  1. — Coral  and  carmine,  base  golden  yel- 

low; orange  red  bud.  Medium  size  and  splendid  shape.  Quite  distinct 

from  other  Polyanthas.  Very  pretty  little  buds  borne  in  long  sprays. 

(3)  PERLE  D’OR  (Dubreuil,  1884),  1.— Nankeen  yellow  with  orange  centre. 

(4)  GEORGE  ELGER  (Turbat,  1913),  1. — Golden  yellow,  passing  to  clear  yellow 

when  open. 

(5)  ANNA  MARIA  DE  MONTRAVEL  (Rambaux  & Dubreuil,  1880),  1. — Pure  white, 

double,  and  perfect  shape. 

(6)  TIP  TOP  (Lambert,  1909),  1. — -Golden  yellow,  tipped  with  cerise;  lovely 

miniature  buds  and  blooms  of  perfect  form  and  finish,  borne  erect.  A 
gem. 


Miscellaneous  Sorts 

In  this  list  the  varieties  are  of  very  varied  shapes  of  flower  and  habits  of 
growth,  and  while  splendid  effects  may  be  gained  by  massing  one  sort,  it  is  very 
inadvisable  to  mix  varieties  unless  perfectly  certain  the  styles  and  habits  will  har- 
monise. May  be  planted  anywhere. 

(1)  BORDERER  (Alister  Clark,  1918),  1. — Pink,  copper  and  amber  colours,  very 
free  flowering  and  splendid  foliage.  Dwarf  growing  and  particularly,  well 
suited  as  to  its  name. 

(2)  SALMON  SPRAY  (H.T.)  (Grant,  1923),  F.2. — Colour  rich  salmon  pink,  reverse 
of  petals  carmine,  borne  on  sprays.  Sweetly  scented,  and  lasts  well  in 
water.  The  colour  fades  in  spring  and  summer.  Mildew  proof  foliage. 

(3)  EVELYN  THORNTON  (Bees’  Ltd.,  1919),  1. — Shell  pink,  deepening  to  sal- 

mon and  lemon,  with  orange  shading,  a combination  of  tints  pleasing  be- 

yond measure;  growth  vigorous,  perpetual  blooming.  In  strong  sunlight 
the  colours  fade  to  white,  but  it  still  remains  clean  and  attractive.  Quite 
an  acquisition. 

(4)  YVONNE  RABIER  (Gouchalt  & Turbat,  1911),  2. — Pure  white,  semi-double. 

(5)  RODHATTE  (Poulsen,  1912),  1. — Cherry  red,  large  and  semi-double. 

(6)  LEONIE  LAMESCH  (Lambert,  1900),  2 or  3.— Copper  red,  shaded  yellow. 

(7)  MDLLE.  FRANCISQUE  FAVRE  (Dubreuil,  1915),  2. — Like  Papa  Hemeray, 

but  much  darker  red.  Single. 

(8)  CATHERINE  ZEIMET  (Lambert,  1900),  1. — Pure  white,  semi-double,  very 

free  flowering. 


Climbing  Multiflora  or  Rambling  Roses,  Etc. 

These  are  spring  or  early  summer  blooming  sorts  only.  They  have  a stiffer 
habit  of  growth,  and,  as  a class,  are  much  more  liable  to  mildew  and  black 
spot  than  the  Wichuraianas,  and  must,  therefore,  give  way  to  the  better  foliaged 
kinds.  1/6  each;  16/-  dozen. 

(1)  CLIMBING  MADAME  CECIL  BRUNNER  (Ardagh),  6. — This  sterling  rose 
has  proved  a welcome  acquisition  in  climbers.  It  is  a strong,  vigor- 
ous grower  and  blooms  profusely  all  the  year  round,  often  producing 
sprays  with  70  or  80  flowers  on  one  branch.  Excellent  for  hedge.  This 
variety  is  out  of  place  amongst  the  Multiflora  Roses,  as  it  is  not  liable  to 
the  diseases  mentioned,  and  would  be  much  more  at  home  in  the  ordin- 
ary climbing  list  only  that  its  flowers  are  the  small  Polyantha  type.  E.

(2)  CLIMBING  ORLEANS  ROSE  (Levavasseur,  1913),  5. — A strong-  climbing 

sport  of  the  favourite  dwarf;  scarlet,  with  a white  eye,  blooming  in 
clusters.  E. 

(3)  MOONLIGHT  (Hyb.  Musk)  (Pemberton,  1913),  6. — Moderate-sized  blooms, 

white  flushed  lemon,  borne  in  clusters  and  very  freely  produced.  Sweetly 
scented. 

(4)  MRS.  F.  W.  FLIGHT  (Cutbush,  1907),  6. — Lovely  pink,  with  white  centre; 

semi-double  and  fair  size,  produced  in  enormous  trusses.  Splendid  for 
arches,  pergolas,  etc.,  and  fine  for  decorating.  E. 

(5)  PROSPERITY  (Hybrid  Musk)  (Pemberton,  1919),  6.- — A perpetual  flowering 

Rose.  Colour,  white,  tinted  pink  in  bud.  Form,  Rosette;  flowers  pro- 
duced on  extra  large  clusters.  Blooms  well  into  autumn.  A distinct 

advance.  Should  be  tried. 

(6)  TAUSENDSCHON  (Thousand  Beauties)  (Schmidt,  1906),  5. — Pink,  turning  to 

bright  rose  and  carmine  as  the  flower  expands;  produced  in  large  trusses 
of  from  ten  to  fifteen  blooms;  sweetly  scented  and  very  attractive.  This 

variety  gives  an  autumn  crop  of  blooms  as  well.  It  is  a hybrid,  and  while 

showing  the  habit  of  the  multiflora,  has  more  distinct  flowers  and  is  much 
more  resistant  to  disease.  E. 

(7)  VEILCHENBLAU  (Schmidt,  1908),  5. — Seedling  from  Crimson  Rambler;  lilac 

to  bluish  purple;  blooms  produced  in  trusses.  E. 

CRIMSON  RAMBLER. — See  Excelsa  in  next  section. 


Named  after  the  celebrated  botanist,  Wichura,  who  accompanied  the  German 
Expedition  to  China  and  Japan  in  1859-61. 

The  varieties  in  this  section  are  all  climbers,  and  are  particularly  suitable 
for  rockeries,  sloping  banks,  old  stumps,  pillars,  pergolas,  or  arches.  Their  long 
canes  are  very  flexible,  and  they  conform  to  the  shape  of  the  object  covered  much 
better  than  the  Climbing  Multiflora  types.  Most  of  the  varieties  have  small, 
very  shiny  foliage  and  large  clusters  of  small  to  medium  flowers  in  spring.  1/6 
each;  16/-  dozen.  Suitable  in  all  climates. 

(1)  DOROTHY  PERKINS  (Perkins,  1902),  6. — Rich,  soft  rose,  produced  in  large 

clusters.  An  American  introduction  of  great  merit.  Mildews  badly. 

(2)  EXCELSA  (Walsh,  1908),  6. — Bright  scarlet;  double  flowers  produced  in 

clusters;  thick,  glossy  foliage;  very  attractive  variety;  large  flowering. 
Much  more  satisfactory  than  Crimson  Rambler,  at  it  does  not  mildew  as 
a rule. 

(3)  AMERICAN  PILLAR  (Van  Fleet,  1902),  6. — The  single  flowers  are  of  a 

lovely  shade  of  pink,  with  a clear  white  eye,  are  two  inches  across,  and 
are  produced  in  huge  clusters  resembling  a bouquet.  The  charming 
feature  of  this  rose  is  that  it  flowers  on  the  basal  growths,  so  that  it  may 
be  used  either  for  creating  bold  masses  in  the  garden  (pegged  or 

for  the  pergola. 

(4)  SHOWER  OF  GOLD  (Paul  & Son,  1910),  6. — Vigorous  grower,  glossy  foliage; 

large  trussed  of  double  yellow  blooms. 

(5)  DR.  HUEY  (Capt.  G.  Thomas,  Junr.,  1914),  6. — For  its  class  this  has  quite 

large  flowers;  semi-single,  and  borne  in  clusters  of  three  or  four  on  good 
stems.  The  colour  is  dark  crimson  maroon  of  great  brilliancy.  Spring 
blooming  only.  This  will  become  one  of  the  favourites  when  better  known. 
Lasts  well  when  cut.  Highly  recommended. 

(6)  EMILY  GRAY  (B.  R.  Cant,  1918),  6. — Golden  yellow,  double  flowers;  said 

to  be  the  best  yellow  in  the  class. 

(7)  HIAWATHA  (Walsh,  1904),  6. — A rambling  variety  of  great  beauty,  bear- 

ing large  trusses  of  single  flowers;  colour,  deep  crimson  shading  to  al- 
most white  in  the  centre  of  the  blooms,  with  rich  golden  anthers;  re- 
maining a long  time  in  flower  for  this  class;  late  flowering.  Mildews. 

(8)  JACOTTE  (Barbier  & Co.,  1920),  6. — Vigorous  climbing  growth,  foliage  deep 

glossy  green,  flower  brilliant  coppery  salmon  on  saffron  yelloAv,  tinted 
coppery  red ; very  free  flowering,  semi-double.

borne  in  clusters;  very  fragrant;  late  flowering. 

(12)  DR.  W.  VAN  FLEET  (Van  Fleet,  1910),  6. — A very  fine,  large-flowered,  semi- 

double variety.  Not  known  yet  or  it  would  be  higher  up. 

(13)  LORETTO  (A.  Clark,  1923), F. 6. — A Pillar  rose  of  distinct  colouring,  sug- 

gesting crimson  overlaid  with  carmine.  Sweetly  scented.  Disease  proof 
foliage.  Flowers  well  in  spring  and  autumn. 

(14)  ROMEO  (Wich.)  (Walter  Easlea,  1919). — Flower  deep  red,  double  and  of 

perfect  form;  resembling  a miniature  Liberty.  Excellent  for  button- 

holes and  florists’  work.  A grand  addition  to  the  fast-growing  ramblers. 

(16)  SANDER’S  WHITE  (1912),  6.— A very  fine  double  variety.  Good. 

(16)  iSILVER  MOON  (Van  Fleet,  1910), 6.- — Extra  large  single  flowers,  silvery 

white.  Very  vigorous  climber.

TREES  AS  AN  ASSET 

In  a young  country  like  Australia,  where  we  are  just  beginning  our 
second  century  of  occupation,  the  last  cry  one  would  expect  to  hear  is  that 
of  the  need  of  trees.  The  fact  remains,  however,  that  not  only  are  we  in  need 
of  many  millions  of  trees  to  replace  those  wasted  in  the  past,  but  a new  outlook 
altogether  is  required  on  the  matter.  It  may  not  be  out  of  place  to  quote 
here  the  views  of  one  of  the  world’s  foremost  authorities  on  dendrology.  In 
“The  Romance  of  our  Trees,”  Prof.  E.  H.  Wilson,  of  Harvard  University, 
writes : — 

“Those  who  have  studied  the  folk-lore  of  primitive  man  tell  us  that  the 
legend  of  good  and  evil  trees  is  almost  universal,  and  that  they  are  intimately 
connected  with  man’s  own  story  of  his  development.  As  man  congregated, 
built  homes  of  mud,  brick,  and  stone,  his  energies  became  more  and  more 
absorbed  in  gaining  wealth,  and  this  has  repeatedly  led  to  his  own  destruction 
and  that  of  his  kindred.  The  same  thing  obtains  to-day.  The  happy  and 
contented  among  us  are  those  whose  thoughts  are  not  wholly  engrossed  in 
laying  up  treasure  in  gold,  silver,  and  precious  stones,  but  who  take  an  intelli- 
gent interest  in  Nature’s  treasures,  preserve  them,  and  prize  them  at  their 
worth.” 

Continuing  he  declares: — “Trees  are  much  more  than  sticks  bearing  leaves 
and  useful  as  fuel  and  as  a source  of  timber  for  construction  purposes.  They 
are,  indeed,  the  most  vigorous  expression  of  life,  and  its  most  enduring  form 
this  planet  boasts;  and  a nation’s  trees  should  be  esteemed  as  national  trea- 
sures. A measure  of  a country’s  culture  may  be  very  accurately  taken  by  an 
analysis  of  the  position  gardens  hold  in  the  people’s  esteem.  In  history  books 
too  much  is  told  of  man’s  destructive  quarrels,  and  too  little  about  his  con- 
structive work  in  developing  the  arts  of  peace.” 

In  another  place  he  states: — “A  nation’s  finest  trees  should  rightly  be 
counted  among  its  most  prized  national  treasures;  but  of  the  countries  of  the 
world  to-day,  Japan  alone  regards  ancient  trees  as  a national  treasure  asset! 
Such  they  truly  are,  and  there  is  no  escape  from  the  punishment  Nature  metes 
out  to  lands  whose  forest  growth  is  destroyed.  In  this  country  (America)  the 
price  is  being  exacted,  and  in  countries  like  China  and  Korea,  the  multiple 
interest  is  so  great  that  the  lands  groan  beneath  the  burden.  With  no  trees 
to  hold  the  soil  on  steep  slopes  when  heavy  rains  fall,  rivers  become  charged 
with  silt,  break  their  bounds,  and  destroy  everything  within  their  reach- 
crops,  villages,  and  inhabitants.” 

As  far  as  Australia  is  concerned,  the  importance  of  preserving  our  present 
trees  and  making  fresh  plantations  might  be  stressed  in  other  directions.  As 
is  well  known,  there  is  an  intimate  connection  between  trees  and  rainfall, 
and  this  feature  deserves  the  earnest  consideration  of  every  man  on  the  land. 

There  is  also  an  intimate  connection  between  trees  and  the  control  of 
insect  pests,  for  unless  there  are  trees  in  which  birds  may  nest,  these  natural 
enemies  of  insect  life  will  gradually  disappear.  The  same  argument  applies  to 


Rose  and  Tree  Specialists,  Epping,  N.S.W. 


69 


noxious  weeds,  as  birds  do  incalculable  good  in  this  respect  by  eating  seeds, 
and  thus  preventing  dissemination  in  a very  great  degree. 

In  addition,  trees,  particularly  in  our  western  districts,  are  invaluable  for 
shade  and  shelter  purposes,  and  it  is  sincerely  to  be  hoped  that  in  the  future 
trees  may  be  looked  upon  with  such  favour  that  for  every  one  cut  down  it 
will  be  considered  a duty  to  plant  one  to  take  its  place.  This  idea  prevails 
in  parts  of  England,  and  it  is  not  an  uncommon  thing  for  rent  to  be  paid, 
not  in  cash,  but  in  the  form  of  planting  a stated  number  of  trees  each  season. 

The  reclamation  of  much  that  is  now  waste  land  will  only  be  possible  by 
the  extensive  planting  of  suitable  trees  and  shrubs. 


Ornamental  Trees  and  Shrubs 

DIRECTIONS  FOR  PLANTING 

1.  PLANTS  FROM  POTS. — There  is  a prevalent  idea  that  all  plants  grown 
in  pots  should  have  the  roots  disentangled  when  being  planted.  Most  emphatic- 
ally we  state  that  this  is  a frequent  cause  of  failure,  as  very  many  plants  resent 
disturbance  of  this  nature.  Leave  the  ball  of  soil  intact,  placing  it  about 
three  inches  lower  than  the  surface  of  the  prepared  hole,  then  fill  in  fine 
soil  and  tramp  quite  firmly.  Stake,  tie,  and  water  well,  and  cover  with  a loose 
surface  of  dry  soil  after  the  water  has  soaked  away.  A mulching  of  dry  leaves 
or  grass  will  prevent  evaporation,  and  a few  ferns  or  twigs  stuck  in  the  ground 
will  shade  the  stems  against  sunburn  in  summer  planting,  and  provide  a pro-

tection  against  frost  when  the  work  is  done  in  winter.  This  precaution  should 
never  be  omitted  with  evergreen  plants.  All  tender  evergreens  should  be 
planted  when  the  ground  is  warm  and  moist,  preferably  in  early  autumn 
or  late  spring.  When  planted  at  this  time  and  protected  from  frost  through 
the  first  winter  many  plants  may  be  acclimatised  and  successfully  grown  which 
otherwise  would  succumb  to  the  first  heavy  frost  if  planted  in  the  cool  weather. 

2.  Plants  from  the  Open  Ground  (generally  deciduous  trees  and  shrubs) 
should  have  any  bruised  roots  removed  by  a clean  cut,  and  planted  at  the 
same  depth  as  in  the  Nursery.  Firm  planting  is  absolutely  essential,  and  one 
good  watering  should  be  given  as  an  extra  means  of  settling  the  soil  well 
round  the  roots. 

PRUNING. — This  is  a most  important  work  in  connection  with  shrubs 
and  also  certain  kinds  of  trees,  and  by  its  omission  many  plants  are  frequently 
spoilt.  The  pruning  induces  a much  better  shape,  and  tends  to  make  the 
plant  more  floriferous,  thus  increasing  the  decorative  value  in  the  garden. 
When  pruning  for  shape,  trees  which  have  an  upright  habit  of  growth  should 
not  have  the  leading  shoot  touched  in  any  way,  but  the  pruning  should  be 
confined  to  keeping  the  lateral  branches  in  proper  proportion  to  the  rest  of 
the  tree.  Where  it  is  desired  to  make  a low  spreading  plant,  all  upright 
shoots  should  be  cut  back  regularly,  which  induces  side  growth,  and  the  plant 
will  gradually  assume  the  desired  circular  form  of  head.  With  shrubs  the 
golden  rule  is  to  prune  after  flowering,  as  by  this  means  the  following  crop 


70 


HAZLEWOOD  BROS. 


of  bloom  is  safeguarded.  Some  plants  which  produce  their  flowers  on  the 
end  of  the  current  season’s  growth,  such  as  Lagerstromias,  are  best  pruned  in 
winter  to  the  main  stem,  after  the  method  of  pruning  grapes.  The  non- 
flowering shrubs  should  be  pruned  back  as  soon  as  the  growth  begins  to  get 
out  of  proportion,  and  they  should  be  regularly  cut  to  the  desired  shape. 

SUITABLE  SORTS. — A very  great  deal  of  investigation  has  been  carried 
out  in  order  to  ensure  that  growers  may  be  able  to  select  the  plants  most 
suited  for  their  particular  climates.  The  dominating  factors,  generally  speak- 
ing, are  frost  and  heat.  In  a few  instances,  with  plants  like  Azaleas  and 
Rhododendrons,  the  soil  must  be  free  from  lime.  A careful  study  of  the 
various  climates,  as  described,  will  soon  show  the  particular  possibilities  of 
each  garden  or  portion  of  a garden.  For  instance,  the  letters  after  a descrip- 
tion giving  the  key  to  the  climates,  also  indicate  by  their  omissions  the  condi- 
tions to  avoid.  Thus  a variety  marked  A.  B.  M.  P.  S.,  means  the  plant  can  sur- 
vive the  moist  heat  of  Brisbane,  the  dry  heat  and  cold  of  Adelaide  or  Melbourne, 
but  is  unsatisfactory  or  will  not  live  at  all  in  the  greater  cold  of  Hobart.  Those 
sorts  marked  H.  Mt.  require  the  cold  winter  conditions  obtaining  in  those 
districts  and  will  not  thrive  where  mild  winters  prevail.  Contrary  to  these 
might  be  mentioned  some  sorts  of  Hibiscus  which  delight  in  the  moist,  even 
and  high  temperature  of  B.  & S.,  but  yet  are  quite  unsuitable  for  the  hotter 
but  drier  conditions  of  A.,  as  this  dry  atmosphere  nearly  always  carries  with 
it  cool  or  cold  nights.  Where  there  is  any  difficulty  in  determining  what  to 
plant,  we  will,  on  receipt  of  full  particulars  of  situation,  soil,  frost,  rainfall, 
wind,  etc.,  make  out  a list  of  suitable  varieties  for  individual  positions.  It 
is  always  advisable  to  mention  wh- 1 class  of  pk.nts  or  trees  do  well,  such  as 
“Cold  enough  for  Cherries,”  “Oranges  thrive,”  “Tender  annuals  flower  right 
through  winter  uncut  by  frost,”  etc. 

PLANT  NAMES. — One  is  repeatedly  met  with  the  impatient  “Why  can  t 
they  give  plants  common  names  and  drop  those  long  tongue-twisting  words.” 
The  reply  is  that  Gardening,  as  a daughter  of  Botany,  is  a science,  and 
must  needs  use  a scientific  language  in  order  to  be  universally  understood. 
If  common  names  were  relied  on  there  would  be  endless  confusion,  as  each 
nation  would  have  a different  word  for  the  one  plant,  and  some  even  two  or 
three,  as  in  the  case  of  the  “English  May.”  This  name  is  applied  in  different 
districts  in  England  to  Crataegus,  Spirea  and  Viburnum.  A peculiar  case 
of  common  names  being  inadvisable  is  shown  in  “Cape  Gooseberry.”  This 
plant  is  not  a gooseberry,  and  comes,  not  from  South  Africa,  but  from  Peru. 

The  more  exceUent  way  is  to  reveal  the  origin  of  each  botanical  term 
and  show  the  many  interesting  and  instructive  meanings. 

TIME  OF  FLOWERING. — In  response  to  many  requests,  we  are  indicating 
the  main  seasons  of  flowering  for  the  various  trees  and  shrubs  mentioned  in 
this  list.  Owing  to  the  great  diversity  of  climate,  it  is  not  possible  to  state 
any  one  month,  as  a tree  which  flowers  in  November  in  Sydney  may  not 
possibly  be  in  bloom  until  January  in  a mountain  climate.  Growers  should, 
however,  be  able  to  get  some  idea  as  to  the  contrasts  which  will  appear  in 
the  garden  from  the  flowering  times  indicated. 

VARIETIES  ARE  LEGION.— The  old  idea  of  a Nursery  was  a place  where 
any  plant  might  be  bought;  but  this  collecting  of  varieties  is  strictly  the  work 
of  a Botanic  Garden.  Since  the  advent  of  Industrial  Courts  and  high  wages, 
it  is  incumbent  on  nurseries  generally  to  reduce  varieties  to  a minimum 
and  grow  only  the  very  best  sorts.  Further,  by  specialising  in  one  or  two 
directions  it  is  possible  to  improve  the  quality,  properly  maintain  the  stock 
of  proved  varieties,  and  ensure  that  novelties  of  excellence  are  procured  at 
the  earliest  possible  date. 

Carnations,  Dahlias,  Chrysanthemums,  Ferns,  House  Palms,  Fruit  Trees, 
etc.,  are  not  grown  by  us,  but  wfill  be  procured  from  reliable  sources  at 
current  prices,  if  desired.

may  be  planted  in  their  proper  climates  with  perfect  confidence. 

ANIGOZANTHUS  MANGLES! — A hardy  herbaceous  perennial  from  West  Australia. 

The  red,  green  and  yellow  flower  is  appropriately  known  as  “Kangaroo 
Paw.”  Spring.  A.  M.  P.  S.  2/-  each. 

BAUHINIA  GALPINI. — -A  low-growing  shrubby  Bauhinia  with  brick  red  blooms. 

It  is  suitable  for  coastal  climates  where  there  is  only  light  frost.  Easily 
one  of  the  best  Novelties  available.  Summer  and  Autumn.  B.  S.  2/6  each. 

BOUGAINVILLEA  ROSEA. — The  brick  red  variety,  B.  Lateritia,  is  generally  con- 
sidered one  of  the  finest  flowering  climbers  obtainable,  and  a seedling  of  a 
lovely  deep  pink  shade,  but  possessing  all  the  other  characteristics  of  the 
parent,  will  be  at  once  an  object  of  beauty  and  a novelty  of  the  highest 
excellence.  Suitable  for  B.  and  S.  only,  as  it  is  susceptible  to  heavy  frost. 
Late  Winter  and  Spring.  5/-  each. 

CASIMIROA  EDULIS  (The  Mexican  Apple),  also  called  “Sapote”  by  the  Spaniards. 

— This  is  a most  uncommon  fruiting  tree  which  deserves  to  be  thoroughly 
tested.  It  is  a native  of  Mexico,  where  it  is  found  growing  up  to  elevations 
of  7,000  feet,  and  should,  therefore,  be  suitable  for  all  parts  of  Australia. 
The  fruit  is  described  as  of  a delicious,  melting,  pear-like  taste,  and  when 
in  full  bearing,  two  crops  a year  are  produced.  2/6  each. 

CHAMAELAUC1UM  UNCINATUM  (The  Geraldton  Wax  Flower). — A native  shrub 
which  cannot  fail  to  come  into  great  prominence  if  only  for  its  great  last- 
ing qualities  as  a cut  flower.  The  blooms  are  like  those  of  the  Tea  Tree 
in  shape,  but  are  a delicate  pale  pink  colour.  They  last  fully  two  weeks 
in  water,  are  delightfully  scented,  and  light  enough  for  graceful  decora- 
tion. The  plants  flower  in  winter  and  continue  in  bloom  for  three  months; 
they  resent  wet  positions,  and  may  easily  be  killed  by  too  much  water. 
Prof.  Wilson,  the  world-renowned  plant  collector,  in  his  report  on  West  Aus- 
tralian plants,  says: — “I  must  close,  however,  with  mention  of  the  lovely 
Geraldton  Wax-flower  (Chamaelaucium  uncinatum),  unknown,  I fear,  to 
American  gardens.  This  is  a large  bush  with  slender  branches,  pink, 
saucer-shaped,  waxy  flowers,  long  persistent  on  the  branches,  and  produced 
in  great  profusion.  Its  beauty  has  won  for  it  a peculiar  place  in  the 
affection  of  Australians,  and  it  ought  to  be  grown  in  California  and,  indeed, 
in  every  land  where  a suitable  climate  obtains.”  Highly  recommended 
Winter  and  Spring.  A.  M.  P.  S.  3/-  each. 

CHORIZEMA  CORDATA. — Mons  Labillardiere  and  his  party  were  exploring  in 
Western  Australia  and  were  at  an  extremity  for  want  of  fresh  water. 
When  their  efforts  were  at  last  successful,  and  they  discovered  this  new 
plant  and  the  water  at  the  same  time,  they  were  ready  to  dance  with  joy. 
The  plant  was  named  from  two  Greek  words— -“choros,”  a dance,  and  “zema,” 
a drink,  and  is  now  officially  recognised  as  at  the  head  of  this  paragraph. 
“Cordata,”  referring  to  the  leaves,  means  heart-shaped.  This  is  a very  fine 
dwarf  shrub  bearing  a profusion  of  pea-shaped  flowers  of  a daring  mixture 
of  orange  and  red.  For  rockeries,  bedding  or  single  specimens  in  all  climates, 
this  plant  is  strongly  recommended.  Prune  back  after  flowering.  Spring. 
A.  M.  P.  S.  1/6  each. 

CHORIZEMA  ILICIFOLIA  (Holly  leaved). — This  variety  likes  a moist,  shady  place, 
while  the  blooms  are  on  longer  spikes  than  C.  cordata,  and  are  produced 
over  a longer  season.  Good  for  light  decorative  work.  Winter  and  Spring. 
A.  M.  P.  S.  1/6  each. 

COTONEASTER  FRANCHETI. — This  is  a hardy  evergreen  shrub  allied  to  the 
Hawthorn  and  grown  for  its  handsome  arching  canes,  which  are  heavily 
laden  with  orange-red  berries  in  Autumn  and  Winter.  Spring.  A.  H.  M. 
Mt.  P.  S.  2/-  each. 

CYC  AS  REVOLUTA  (The  Japanese  Sago  Palm). — Dwarf-growing  and  distinctive 
plants  somewhat  like  the  native  Burrawang  in  appearance.  A.  B.  M.  P.  S. 
From  5/-  each. 

CROTALARIA  LABURNIFOLIA. — Another  native  shrub  which  is  well  worth  grow- 
ing. The  flowers  are  quite  large,  and  are  greenish  yellow  in  colour,  and 
at  first  sight  suggest  birds  suspended  by  their  beaks  from  the  branch.  The 
plants  have  been  in  bloom  over  a very  long  season  in  Melbourne  Botanic 
Gardens,  and  attracted  a lot  of  attention.  Hardy  everywhere.  Summer.

HAZLEWOOD  BROS 


CUPRESSUS  CONYBEARE  AUREA. — A particularly  fine  and  bushy  type  of  weeping 
golden  Cypress  and  a great  improvement  on  any  previously  distributed. 
Where  a break  in  colour  of  foliage  is  required,  or  where  a contrast  in  out- 
line is  desired,  the  rich  variegation  and  graceful  drooping  branchlets  of 
this  fine  Novelty  will  prove  just  the  tree  wanted.  Hardy  in  all  climates 
except  B.  Highly  recommended.  From  5/-  each. 

DAVIDSONL&  PRURIENS. — A tall  evergreen  ornamental  shrub  attaining  up  to  15 
feet  in  height  and  bearing  reddish  flowers  followed  by  regular  ropes  of 
purple  plum-like  fruits  which  are  said  to  make  a fine  jam.  It  is  a native 
of  Northern  New  South  Wales  and  Queensland.  Suitable  for  a tall  shrub- 
bery. Spring.  A.  M.  P.  S.  2/6  each. 

ELEOCARPUS  CYANEUS. — This  is  one  of  the  gems  of  our  native  Flora.  It  is 
rather  tall  for  the  shrubbery,  often  attaining  a height  of  30  or  40  feet, 
but  is  so  beautiful  in  foliage,  flower  and  fruit  as  to  call  for  special  mention 
for  specimens  or  avenues.  The  flowers  are  like  fringed  Lilies  of  the  Valley, 
and  are  borne  when  the  previous  year’s  fruit  is  still  on  the  tree.  It  is 
sometimes  called  the  Blueberry  Ash.  Spring.  A.  B.  M.  P.  S.  2/-  each. 

EUCALYPTUS  EREMOPHILA  (“Desert  Gum’’). — A shrub  or  medium-sized  tree, 
10  to  30  feet  high,  with  a smooth,  scaly  bark.  Leaves  narrow,  smooth,  and 
shining.  Flowers  yellowish,  sometimes  crimson,  the  operculum  reddish, 
horn-shaped,  4 to  5 times  longer  than  the  calyx  tube.  Spring.  A.  M.  P.  S. 
1/6  each. 

EUCALYPTUS  ERYTHRONEMA. — This  is  an  extremely  beautiful  shrub  of  about 
eight  feet  in  height,  that  produces  a mass  of  bright  crimson  flowers;  the 
foliage  is  also  very  ornamental,  and  lasts  a very  long  time  when  cut. 
A.  M.  P.  S.  Spring.  1/6  each. 

EUCALYPTUS  MACROCARPA. — Western  Australia  is  famous  for  its  red  and  pink 
flowered  gums,  and  from  a flower  point  of  view  this  crimson  variety  is 
certainly  the  best.  The  plant  is  an  ugly  grower,  and  cannot  be  classed  as 
an  easy  subject  to  handle,  but  is  worth  any  trouble  taken  when  in  bloom. 
Spring.  A.  B.  M.  P.  S.  2/6  each. 

EUCALYPTUS  SIDEROXYLON  ROSEA. — Many  of  our  Eucalyptus  have  varieties 
which  produce  various  coloured  blooms,  and  the  Iron  Bark  provides  an 
instance.  This  variety  is  famed  for  its  display  of  rosy  pink  flowers,  and  a 
tall  tree  in  full  bloom  is  a most  delightful  sight.  Recommended  for  avenues 
or  large  gardens  as  a fine,  quick-growing,  hardy  tree.  Winter  and  Spring. 
1/6  each. 

EUCALYPTUS  STRICKLANDI. — A medium-sized  tree,  30  to  40  feet  high,  with  a 
diameter  of  about  18  inches.  Bark  rough  for  two  or  three  feet  from  the 
ground,  the  rest  of  the  stem  smooth  and  white.  Leaves  and  branchlets 
glaucous,  flowers  in  umbels  of  three  to  six,  the  filaments  white  or  cream- 
coloured.  1/6  each. 

EUCALYPTUS  TETRAGONA. — A compact  shaped  dwarf-growing  Gum,  attaining 
an  ultimate  height  of  from  12  to  15  feet,  with  beautiful  silvery-white 
leaves  and  white  flowers.  Very  distinct  and  pretty,  and  most  suitable  for 
growing  for  general  garden  decoration.  1/6  each. 

EUCALYPTUS  TETRAPTERA. — A shrub,  3 to  8 feet  high,  the  branches  usually 
prominently  four-angled.  Leaves  large,  thick.  Flowers  large,  pink  or 
crimson.  Suitable  for  shrubbery  or  mixed  borders.  1/6  each. 

EUCALYPTUS  TORQUATA. — The  combination  of  colouring  in  the  flowers  of  this 
Gum  is  surprising.  The  clusters  of  buds  in  the  early  stages  are  green.  As 
they  develop  they  turn  bright  yellow,  and  when  open  are  a brilliant  red, 
all  three  colours  being  displayed  on  one  spray  of  blossom.  This  will  make 
a glorious  Gum  for  cutting.  Of  dwarf  habit.  1/6  each. 

FEIJOA  SELLOWIANA. — This  plant  has  been  grown  for  over  twenty  years  in 
Australia,  but  its  claims  to  serious  consideration  have  never  received  their 
full  due.  As  an  ornamental  shrub  it  is  worth  growing  for  its  white  and  red 
flowers,  which  are  quite  unlike  anything  else.  It  is  hardy  enough  for  the 
milder  mountain  climates,  and  produces  a finely  flavoured  fruit  which  is 
in  great  demand  in  California.  Recommended.  Spring.  A.  B.  M.  P.  S. 
2/-  each. 

FRAXINUS  OXYCARPA  (The  Desert  Ash). — A beautiful  tree  from  the  mountainous 
districts  of  Southern  Europe  which  has  been  proved  particularly  suited  to 
our  own  country  climates  like  Bathurst.  Apart  from  its  shapely  outline, 
the  foliage  is  held  well  into  winter,  and  it  is  amongst  the  first  to  break 
into  leaf  again  in  the  spring.  Where  circumstances  do  not  permit  of  the 
use  of  large  spreading  trees  like  planes,  the  Desert  Ash  is  invaluable  for 
specimens,  avenues,  or  other  ornamental  work.  Recommended  highly.

tORDONIA  ANOMALA. — This  is  one  of  the  rare  and  beautiful  shrubs  which  is 
known  sometimes  under  the  name  of  Camellia  axillaris.  It  produces  large 
single  flowers  of  a creamy  white  colour  in  the  Spring,  and  the  whole  bloom 
is  set  off  by  a rich  centre  of  golden  stamens.  Winter.  H.  M.  Mt.  S. 
3/6  each. 

GREVILLEA  BANKSII  FOSTERI. — A very  fine  and  richly  coloured  dwarf  form  of 
the  Silky  Oak  family,  especially  suitable  for  native  gardens  and  shrubberies. 
The  flowers  are  rich  crimson,  and  are  produced  over  a long  flowering  season. 
There  is  a tendency  for  plants  raised  from  seed  to  produce  occasional  white 
flowered  forms.  Only  seedling  plants  are  available  at  present,  but  as  there 
were  no  white  forms  in  the  neighbourhood  of  the  tree  from  which  our  seed 
was  procured,  the  risk  is  reduced  to  a minimum.  Summer.  B.  S.  2/-  each. 

HARPEPHYLLUM  CAFFRUM.- — A tall  evergreen  tree  of  noble  appearance  which 
is  of  special  value  for  planting  on  large  lawns  or  for  avenue  purposes.  It 
is  a native  of  South  Africa,  and  grows  up  to  elevations  of  5000  feet.  This 
would  make  it  quite  suitable  for  climates  similar  to  Adelaide,  Brisbane, 
Melbourne,  Perth  or  Sydney.  In  its  native  home  it  is  known  as  Kaffir  plum, 
and  reaches  a height  of  30  to  40  feet.  An  excellent  specimen  may  be  seen 
in  the  Sydney  Botanic  Gardens.  2/-  each. 

HEERIA  ROSEA. — For  rockeries,  or  hanging  baskets,  this  is  a very  fine  trailing 
plant.  The  flowers  are  very  freely  produced,  and  are  an  attractive  rosy 
colour.  Suitable  for  all  climates  except  Hobart  and  Mountain.  Summer. 
1/6  each. 

HIBISCUS  MOSCHEUTOS. — Hardy  herbaceous  plants  from  North  America  which 
have  been  greatly  improved  in  the  last  few  years.  They  produce  in  Summer 
extra  large  single  blooms  8 to  10  inches  across  in  varying  shades  of  white, 
pink  and  red.  The  plants  die  down  in  winter,  shooting  again  in  the  spring 
from  the  roots.  These  Hibiscus  have  been  a special  feature  in  Hyde  Park, 
Sydney,  also  in  the  Melbourne  Botanic  Gardens.  Hardy  everywhere.  2/6 
each,  or  one  plant  each  of  three  colours  for  7/-.

of  N.S.W.  Golden  apricot,  suffused  pink,  rosy  carmine  eye.  Flowers  are 
not  so  large  as  other  varieties,,  but  are  of  splendid  sha,pe,  and  are  produced 
more  freely.  Growth  moderately  bushy.  Summer  and  Autumn.  2/6  each. 

HIBISCUS  GLORIA  (Selkirk,  1924). — First  Class  Certificate,  Horticultural  Society

nificent. A very  strong  grower,  very  compact  in  shape.  Summer  and 
Autumn.  2/6  each. 

HIBISCUS  MADELINE  CHAMPION  (Selkirk,  1924). — First  Class  Certificate,  Horti- 
cultural Society  of  N.S.W.  Rich  apricot  with  deep  strawberry-red  eye 
merging  into  a rosy  white  zone  at  base  of  petals.  Much  larger  than 
Conqueror,  which  it  resembles,  but  with  more  substances  in  the  petals. 
Strong  growing  and  compact  habit.  Summer  and.  Autumn.  2/6  each. 

HIBISCUS  ROSY  MORN  (Selkirk,  1924). — First  Class  Certificate,  Horticultural 
Society  of  N.S.W.  Old  Rose  with  deeper  veination,  with  salmon  old  rose 
on  reverse  of  petals.  The  flowers  are  not  extra  large,  but  the  colouring  is 
distinct  from  any  other  variety.  Summer  and  Autumn.  2/6  each. 

L ASIAN  DR  A EDWARDSII. — This  new  variety  was  raised  in  Victoria  and  is  another 
proof  that  Australia  can  produce  her  own  Novelties  in  shrubs  as  in  other 
flowers.  It  is  a cross  between  L.  grandiflora  and  L.  macrantha,  but  of  a 
dwarf  habit  and  very  free  blooming.  Flowers  nearly  as  large  as  grandiflora 
and  blooms  earlier  than  macrantha.  Colour  of  flowers,  dark  violet.  Summer 
and  Autumn.  A.  B.  M.  P.  S.  2/-  each. 

LASIANDRA  GRANDIFLORA. — This  large  flowered  shrub  does  not  receive  anything 
like  the  attention  it  deserves.  The  blooms  are  of  the  richest  purple,  and  are 
fully  six  inches  across.  If  pruned  after  flowering  it  makes  one  of  the  most 
desirable  shrubs  imaginable.  Summer  and  Autumn.  A.  B.  M.  P.  S.  2/-  each. 

LUCULIA  GRATISSIMA. — This  fine  shrub  has  been  lost  to  cultivation  for  a very 
long  time  in  this  country,  but  its  outstanding  beauty  and  wonderful  fra- 
grance will  make  it  one  of  the  most  popular  shrubs  for  temperate  climates. 
Apart  from  its  delightfully  delicate  pink  colour  and  its  rare  daphne-like 
fragrance,  it  is  winter  blooming,  which  makes  it  all  the  more  valuable. 
For  gardens  where  there  are  only  light  frosts  this  plant  is  recommended 
with  the  utmost  confidence.  It  happens  to  require  an  eastern  position  for 
best  results.  B.  S.  3/-  each. 

MONTANOA  GRANDIFLORA. — A very  valuable  flowering  shrub  in  that  its  long 
spikes  of  blooms,  which  are  like  white  daisies,  are  produced  in  the  middle 
of  winter.  It  is  not  recommended  for  H.,  M.,  or  Mt.,  as  the  flowers  are  spoilt 
by  frosts,  but  should  be  well  tried  in  other  climates.  2/-  each.

HAZLEWOOD  BROS, 


MUSA  ARNOLDIANA. — An  ornamental  Banana  of  special  value  where  a break 
in  foliage  is  desired.  It  is  like  Musa  ensete,  but  rather  sturdier  in  habit, 
and  the  central  midrib  is  a richer  red.  B.  S.  2/6  each. 

MYROXYLON  PBREIRAE. — One  of  the  most  beautiful  shade  trees  available.  It 
grows  to  a height  of  35  or  40  feet,  and  although  partially  deciduous  in 
winter,  presents  such  a distinct  and  pleasing  outline  with  its  graceful 
drooping  branches  as  to  class  it  amongst  the  best  of  the  rare  trees.  It  is 
a native  of  Peru,  and  requires  a temperate  climate  similar  to  Brisbane  and 
Sydney.  A sub-tropical  substitute  for  the  English  Ash  of  the  colder  climates. 
Highly  recommended.  2/6  each. 

OENOTHERA  ROSEA. — A delightful  subject  for  rockeries  and  the  points  of  formal 
bedding.  The  growth  is  quite  prostrate,  and  the  large  flesh-pink  flowers  are 
most  attractive.  Spring  and  Summer.  1/6  each. 

PHILADELPHUS  VIRGINAL. — The  most  beautiful  of  all  the  Mock  Oranges,  with 
large  pure  white  blooms  ranging  from  single  to  semi-double,  and  very  freely 
produced.  Recommended  as  one  of  the  extra  choice  productions  of  the 
veteran  French  Hybridist,  Mons.  Lemoine.  Spring.  2/6  each. 

PHCENIX  ROEBELINI. — The  extremely  graceful  palm  Cocos  Weddelliana  ha3 
always  suffered  through  being  somewhat  delicate.  In  Phoenix  Roebelini, 
however,  we  have  a variety  possessing  all  the  charm  and  beauty  of  Cocos 
with  an  added  virtue  of  great  hardiness.  It  is  somewhat  dwarf  and  slow  in 
growth,  but  this  is  an  advantage,  as  plants  do  not  overgrow  their  positions. 
Recommended  for  house  decoration  or  garden  ornamentation.  A.  B.  M.  P.  S. 
7/6  each. 

POPULUS  DELTOIDES. — This  is  an  extremely  vigorous-growing  form  of  Poplar, 
with  huge  leaves  and  somewhat  angular  stems.  The  foliage  demands 
attention  by  its  size,  and  also  by  reason  of  the  fact  that  the  central  veins 
are  of  a distinctly  red  shade  and  quite  unlike  any  other  foliage  plant. 
They  prefer  rather  a moist  situation,  and  grow  into  handsome  specimens. 
2/-  each. 

PROSTANTHERA  OVALIFOLIA. — A native  shrub  of  the  highest  excellence.  Simply 
covered  in  spring  with  rich  purple  blooms  of  distinctive  character.  Plants 
are  always  in  great  demand,  and  sell  on  sight.  2/-  each.

acquisition  where  contrast  in  foliage  is  required.  Hardy  in  all  climates. 
2/-  each. 

PUSSY  WILLOW  (Salix  caprea). — This  tree,  also  known  as  Goat  Willow,  is  becom- 
ing very  popular  for  decorative  work  in  early  spring.  The  twigs  bear  num- 
bers of  silky  buds  which  develop  later  on  into  male  catkins,  and  possess  a 
distinctive  decorative  value.  1/6  each. 

RETINOSPORA  OBTUSA  CRIPSII. — A richly  coloured  golden  form  of  the  Japanese 
Retinospora  obtusa.  An  excellent  subject  for  specimens  in  lawn,  and 
invaluable  for  cool  and  mountain  climates.  5/-  each. 

ROMNEYA  TRICHOCALYX. — One  of  the  great  disappointments  to  Sydney  growers 
has  been  the  inability  to  succeed  with  the  Giant  Californian  Poppy,  known 
as  Romneya  Coulteri.  This  new  variety  is  almost  identical  with  the  older 
kind,  except  that  it  is  more  bushy  in  growth,  and  is  without  question  a 
pronounced  success,  where  the  other  variety  had  previously  been  a failure. 
The  blooms  are  six  inches  across,  and  pure  white  with  yellow  stamens, 
while  the  grey-green  foliage  is  a perfect  setting  for  the  handsome  flowers. 
In  our  nursery  the  plants  bloomed  from  October  to  March.  It  is  not  known 
if  this  will  do  in  Brisbane,  but  it  is  suitable  for  aJl  other  divisions.  Highly 
recommended.  See  illustration.  2/6  each. 

SAPIUM  SEBIFERUM. — An  extremely  handsome  deciduous  tree  from  China.  Valued 
for  its  beautiful  autumn  foliage.  Prof.  E.  H.  Wilson  states: — “In  the  autumn 
Sapium  sebiferum,  with  its  wonderful  autumn  tints,  stands  alone.”  2/6  each. 

SESBANIA  TRIPETTI  (The  Brazilian  Glory  Pea). — This  fine  flowering  shrub  is 
another  instance  of  a choice  variety  being  almost  lost  through  neglect. 
Thirty  years  ago  it  was  quite  a feature  in  some  nurseries,  and  is  now  being 
brought  back  to  the  prominence  it  deserves.  It  is  a rapid  grower,  and 
flowers  the  first  year  from  planting.  The  blooms  are  in  long  racemes  4 to  6 
inches  in  length,  and  are  a delightful  tango  colour,  quite  distinct  from 
other  flowering  shrubs.  The  flowers  are  produced  in  spring  and  again  in 
autumn.  This  plant  is  recommended  as  being  quite  one  of  the  good  things 
for  temperate  climates  where  only  moderate  frosts  prevail.  Prune  after 
every  flowering.  A.  B.  M.  P.  S.  2/-  each.

THUNBERGIA  GIBSONI. — This  exceptionally  attractive  trailing  plant  was  dis- 
covered in  Central  Africa  some  twenty  years  ago,  and  in  that  comparatively 
short  period  has  attained  wonderful  popularity  in  all  up-to-date  gardening 
circles.  It  is  so  profuse  in  bloom  that  it  has  earned  the  name  of  “Golden 
Glory”  vine,  and  from  numerous  reports  received  from  the  various  States 
of  the  Commonwealth,  it  fully  justifies  this  reputation.  The  plants  com- 
mence to  flower  when  three  to  four  months  old,  and  flower  continuously 
right  through  the  year.  The  blooms  are  of  a rich  orange  shade,  and  are 
like  T.  Alata,  but  without  the  black  eye  of  that  variety.  For  rockery  work, 
planting  in  small  beds,  covering  stumps,  or  trailing  over  small  trellises,  this

GENERAL  LIST 

E. — Evergreen.  D. — Deciduous. 

The  numbers  following-  give  the  average  height  in  feet  at  maturity  for  plants 
grown  in  ordinary  soil,  and  must  be  taken  as  a rough  guide  only.  When  not 
specified  the  variety  may  be  considered  as  hardy  in  all  Australian  climates. 


s.  d. 

ABUTTLON  (An  Arabic  Name). — These 
hardy  and  showy  shrubs  are  com- 
monly known  as  “Chinese  Lanterns.” 
Regular  pruning  after  flowering  will 
ensure  compact  growth,  and  in  var- 
iegated sorts  any  branch  reverting 
to  green  foliage  should  be  cut  away 
as  soon  as  noticed,  as  otherwise  the 


whole  plant  may  return  to  its  or- 
iginal green  colour.  Spring  to 
Autumn.  A.B.M.S.P.

ACACIA  (False). — See  Robinia. 

ACACIA.  Wattle. — Some  of  the  original 
varieties  were  armed  with  spines, 
and  this  prompted  the  name  “Akazo” 
(to  sharpen),  from  which  we  get  the 
name  of  one  of  the  most  extensive 
genus  of  plants  known.  The  Australian 
varieties  are  all  evergreen,  and  in- 
cluded amongst  them  are  some  very 
beautiful  subjects.  They  should  be 
pruned  after  flowering,  and  careful 
watch  kept  on  branches  and  trunk 
for  borers,  which,  if  not  checked, 
will  ultimately  kill  the  tree.  Unless 
otherwise  mentioned,  suitable  for  all 
climates.

Wattle.  It  is  said  that  it 
will  not  flower  in  Bris- 
bane or  Perth,  but  it  does 
well  in  all  other  divisions. 

It  is  the  best  variety  for 
garden  purposes.  The  plant

growing  sorts.  Spring.  . . 16 

ACER  (Maple.) — In  olden  times  when 
pikes  and  lances  were  the  order  of 
the  day,  Maple  wood  was  greatly 
used,  and  it  was  given  its  botanical 
name,  “Acer,”  meaning  hard  or 
sharp,  in  particular  reference  to 
its  use  for  the  weapons  mentioned.

— These  are  extra  choice 
forms  of  the  Japanese 
Maples,  but  are  not  so  hardy. 

In  warm  climates  they  need 
the  protection  of  a southern 
wall  or  light  bush-house, 
with  cool,  moist  soil,  to  do 
well.  In  cool  climates  they

AESCULUS. — A name  originally  given  to 
a species  of  oak  which  bore  an 
esculent  fruit  (esca-food),  but 
which  is  now  applied  to  the  in- 
edible horse  chestnut.  It  is  a most

— Flowers  yellow,  streaked 
orange.  A compact  grow- 
ing flowering  shrub  with  bell- 
shaped flowers.  Recommend- 
ed for  warm  climates  only, 
as  it  is  subject  to  injury  by 

frost.  Summer.  B.S 2 0 

ALOYSIA. — (Named  in  honour  of  a 

Spanish  Queen.).  Now  known  as 
Lippia. 

citriodora,  D.8.  Lemon  scented

suitable  for  Sydney.  The 
plant  requires  to  be  pruned 
every  winter  in  order  to  be 
kept  bushy.  Summer 1 6 

AMYGDALA'S. — (Amysso,  to  lacerate, 
referring  to  the  corrugated  seeds.) 
persica,  D.10.  (Persian.) — Double 
flowering  Peach.  These  fine 
spring  flowering  shrubs 
should  be  pruned  quite  dif- 
ferently from  the  fruiting

wanted.  After  the  bloom  is 
over,  prune  hard  back  to 
bare  main  branches.  We  can

ARBUTUS. — In  Celtic  “Arboise”  means 
sour,  stringent  fruit,  and  it  is 
generally  considered  to  be  the  origin 
of  this  name.  Unedo  is  said  by 
Pliny  to  have  been  so-called  from 
unum  edo,  “I  eat  one”  (but  never 
a second). 

unedo,  E.10.  Irish  Strawberry 
Tree.  — White  flowers,  re- 
sembling Lily  of  the  Valley,

BACKHOUSIA. — After  James  Backhouse 
of  York. 

citriodora,  E.18.  A Native  of 
Queensland. — This  tree  pro- 
mises to  be  the  foundation 
of  an  extensive  industry  in 
this  country,  as  its  leaves 
provide  an  oil  containing 
93  per  cent,  citral,  which  is

gummiferum,  E.30. — The  popular 
Christmas  Bush ; one  of  the 
very  best  evergreens.  After

succeeding  season,  the  flower 
will  be  greatly  improved. 

Where  the  colour  is  not 
naturally  rich,  it  may  be  im- 
proved by  lightly  scattering 
a handful  of  powdered  iron 
sulphate  on  the  soil  in  Sep- 
tember. In  October  or  No- 
vember the  plants  must  not 
suffer  from  drought,  other- 
wise the  bloom  will  fall.

ficifolia,  E.15.  (Fig-leaved.) — 

The  scarlet  Gum  of  Western 
Australia.  This  variety  is 
the  leading  feature  in  King’s 
Park,  Perth.  Prof.  E.  H. 


s.  d. 

AVilson,  Assistant  Director 
of  the  Arnold  Arboretum, 
describes  the  Scarlet  Gum 
as  follows: — “California  and 
other  parts  of  the  world  en- 
joying a similar  climate,  are 
indebted  to  Western  Aus- 
tralia for  the  red-flowered 
Eucalyptus  ficifolia,  truly  a 
jewel  beyond  price  among 
lesser  trees.  Had  Western 
Australia  given  no  other 
treasure  to  the  world  than 
this  exquisite  gem,  it  would 
be  entitled  to  a warm  place 
in  the  affection  of  all  flower- 

lovers.”  Summer  1 6 

Special  attention  is  drawn  to  the 
fact  that  in  this  variety  and  E. 
calophylla  rosea,  there  is  only  one 
known  means  of  propagating,  viz., 
by  seeds.  As  it  is  quite  impossible 
to  control  the  bees  and  wind  in  the 
distribution  of  pollen,  it  can  never 
be  guaranteed  that  these  varieties 
will  always  flower  true  to  the 
colour  of  the  parent  trees.  White 
flowers  will  occasionally  be  produced 
on  a small  proportion  of  the  young 
plants,  and  varying  shades  of  orange, 
scarlet  and  crimson  on  the  balance. 
The  greatest  care  is  taken  in  pro- 
curing seed,  but  we  cannot  give 
any  guarantee,  and  make  all  sales 
subject  to  the  above  uncertainty, 
globulus,  E.150. — The  Tasmanian 
Blue  Gum. — Highly  esteemed 
in  other  countries  for  its  in- 
valuable service  in  absorb- 
ing water  from  swamps  and 
preventing  the  breeding  of 
mosquitoes  which  carry 

malaria  1 6 

The  Eucalyptus  listed  here  present 
some  peculiarities  regarding  climate. 
Calophylla  rosea  and  ficifolia  are 
not  suitable  for  Brisbane,  while 
citriodora  is  a native  of  Queensland. 
All  three  varieties  are  susceptible 
to  heavy  frost  in  the  young  stages, 
but  if  sheltered  the  first  two  or 
three  winters,  may  be  grown  in  the 
coldest  Australian  climates.

These  particularly  free-flowering  shrubs 
are  great  favourites  in  Sydney  and  Bris- 
bane, and  are  extensively  used  for 
hedges.  They  are  all  susceptible  to 
frost,  and  may  require  sheltering  the 
first  winter  in  colder  climates,  Summer 
and  Autumri.

HYDRANGEA. — (Hydor,  water;  angeion,

the  seed  vessel.  Incidentally  an  in- 
dication as  to  their  successful  cul- 
tivation, as  they  rejoice  in  moist 
positions.)  Summer. 

The  problem  of  the  colour  in 
Hydrangeas  has  at  last  been  solved. 
As  is  commonly  known,  while  the 
whites  remain  quite  unaffected,  the 
other  varieties  may  be  pink,  or 
blue,  according  to  the  soil  in  which 
they  grow.  In  some  instances  it 
has  been  noted  that  both  colours 
have  been  seen  on  the  one  plant. 
Scientists  have  investigated  the 
question  thoroughly,  and  we  have 
pleasure  in  advising  that  to  obtain 
the  blue  colour  it  is  necessary  to 
have  the  soil  in  an  acid  condition, 
also  that  Iron  must  be  present  in 
sufficient  quantity  to  affect  the 
change  in  colour.  In  limestone 
country,  or  in  soils  in  which  lime  has 


s.  d. 

been  freely  used,  which  is  the  very 
opposite  of  an  acid  soil,  the  colour 
will  be  pink. 

To  ascertain  whether  soil  is  acid, 
or  alkaline,  take  a small  sample 
from  the  position  in  which  the 
Hydrangeas  are  to  grow,  and  place 
it  in  a tumbler,  pouring  over  it  a 
wineglassful  of  muriatic  acid.  If  the 
liquid  fizzes  and  bubbles  freely 
the  soil  may  be  considered  alkaline; 
but  if  only  feeble  bubbles  appear, 
or  none  at  all,  it  may  be  considered 
as  acid.  Iron,  if  not  naturally  in 
the  soil,  may  be  added  in  the  form 
of  sulphate  of  iron,  lightly  sprinkled 
on  the  surface,  at  the  rate  of  one 


handful  to  two  square  yards,  and 
watered  in.

ILEX. — (A  name  given  by  Virgil  to  the 
Holly  Oak.) 

The  Hollies  are  particularly  valued 
for  their  berries,  and  the  failure 
of  some  varieties  to  set  seed  is  a 
matter  for  some  concern.  It  should 
be  mentioned  that  some  Holly  plants 
produce  male  flowers  only,  some 
female  blooms,  while  others  produce 
both  on  the  same  plant.  The  first 
will  never  seed;  the  second  only 
when  a pollen-bearing  plant  is  near 
enough  for  cross-fertilisation;  while 
the  third  may  always  be  depended 
on  for  a crop.  We  have  limited 
numbers  of  grafted  plants  of  the 
last-named  type,  but  except  when 
specially  ordered,  seedlings  of  the 
ordinary  green  variety  are  supplied,

Rhododendrons  are  essentially 
shade  loving  plants  and  should  be 
placed  in  positions  where  they  will 
always  have  at  least  a little 
moisture.  Peat  soil  is  not  im- 

perative, as  good  loamy  soil  with  an 
addition  of  well  rotted  manure  will 
grow  them  well.  Each  spring  they 
should  have  a thick  mulching  of 
leaves  to  keep  the  soil  cool  in  sum- 
mer. On  no  account  should  they  be 
planted  in  limestone  Country  or 
should  lime  be  allowed  near  them. 
They  may  be  successfully  grown  on 
the  hills  of  the  North  Sydney  line, 
but  otherwise  are  most  at  home  in 
M.Mt.  & H.  Spring.

Planters  are  particularly  warned 
about  touching  the  leaves  of  this 
tree  as  it  effects  some  people  at  cer- 
tain seasons  of  the  year  with 
rhus  eczema.  Many  are  quite

The  completeness  and  frankness  of  your  descriptions,  and  the  way  in 
which  you  have  permitted  your  customers  to  choose  the  order  of  presentation 
is,  as  I see  it,  most  highly  commendable,  and  I take  it  as  thoroughly  satis- 
factory from  the  standpoint  of  sales  promotion. 

It  seems  hard  to  get  tradesmen  generally  to  realize  that  rose  buyers  are 
intelligent  persons  who  will  be  glad  to  be  frankly  told  the  demerits,  as  well 
as  the  merits,  of  roses  offered  them.  I have  constantly  found,  in  my  contact 
with  some  thousands  of  these  rose  buyers  throughout  the  country  and  the 
world,  that  they  do  value  truth  and  frankness. 

With  hearty  thanks  for  the  opportunity  to  see  this  most  excellent  Cata- 
logue.— J.  Horace  McFarland,  Editor,  American  Rose  Annual,  Harrisburg,

HAZLEWOOD  BROS, 


Native  Plants 

Quite  a number  of  inquiries  are  now  being  made  for  indigenous  trees  for  plant- 
ing in  native  gardens  and  in  ordinary  shrubberies.  Very  many  of  these  are  most 
beautiful  subjects,  and  as  the  demand  warrants,  we  are  adding  to  our  collection, 
and  can,  at  the  present  time,  supply  quite  a large  number  of  varieties.  As  the 
stocks  are  only  held  in  limited  quantities,  we  cannot  publish  a list,  but  will  forward 
one  on  application. 


Hedge  Plants 

Hedges  are  an  essential  part  of  any  garden.  The  main  qualifications  are  that 
the  plants  must  be  bushy  to  ensure  privacy,  hardy  to  stand  the  constant  clipping, 
deep  rooting  to  avoid  undue  robbing  of  the  surface  soil,  and  pleasing  to  the  eye  by 
reason  of  beautiful  foliage  or  flowers.  Nine  times  out  of  ten  we  are  asked  for  a 
quick-growing  hedge  plant,  but  planters  always  overlook  the  fact  that  these  require 
very  much  more  clipping  to  keep  attractive  than  the  slower-growing  sorts,  which 
take  somewhat  longer  to  furnish.  A privet  hedge  at  certain  times  requires  clipping 
twice  a month;  others  look  well  if  done  two  or  three  times  a year. 

BOUGAINVrLL,EA  glabra  Sanderiana. — Makes  a fine,  free -flowering  hedge,  but  needs 
to  be  well  clipped  to  prevent  the  thorny  branches  becoming  a menace  to 
passers-by.  Plant  4 feet  apart.  A.B.M.P.S.  21/-  doz. ; 150/-  per  100 
BOUGAINVILLEA  magnifioa  Trailli. — Even  more  desirable  than  the  preceding  as 
the  flowers  are  larger,  deeper  in  colour  and  more  freely  produced.  The  best 
purple  Bougainvillea.  Plant  4 feet  apart.  33/-  doz.;  £12  per  100. 
CALLISTEMON  lanceolatus. — The  Crimson  Bottle  Brush. — A most  uncommon  yet 
beautiful  subject  for  hedge  work.  Suitable  for  moist  or  dry  positions  and  hardy 
in  all  climates.  Plant  2 feet  apart.  21/-  doz. 

CERASUS  lauro  eerasus. — The  English  Laurel. — Particularly  adapted  to  cold  climates 
where  it  makes  a very  fine,  dense,  evergreen  hedge.  H.M.Mt.  15/-  doz.;  £5 
per  100. 

COPROSMA  lucida. — For  sea  fronts,  or  hot,  dry  situations,  this  is  a very  fine  var- 
iety as  it  withstands  heat  admirably.  Large,  light  green,  shiny  leaves.  The 
flowers  are  insignificant.  Plant  2 feet  apart.  Hardy  everywhere.  12/-  doz. ; 
£4/10/-  per  100. 

CUPRESSUS  Lambertiana  horizontalis. — A particularly  fine  subject  for  all  climates 
except  B.  & S.  where  it  is  attacked  by  borers.  Stands  clipping  well  and  may  be 
grown  up  to  a tall  windbreak.  Plant  6 to  8 feet  apart.  45/-  doz. 
CUPRESSUS  torulosa. — When  raised  from  seed  this  plant  shows  a great  variety  of 
shapes  and  shades  of  colour  which  spoil  the  hedge  effect.  We  offer  plants  struck 
from  cuttings  of  a proved  type  which  are  all  uniform  and  which  make  a 
splendid,  slender  hedge.  This  variety  is  not  affected  by  borer  and  is  quite 
a success  in  S.  and  B.  as  well  as  other  climates.  Plant  4 feet  apart.  33/- 
doz. 

CRATAEGUS  crenulata. — Fire  Thom. — A small  foliaged  evergreen  hawthorn  which 
is  very  handsome  in  winter  when  covered  with  red  berries.  Hardy  in  all 
climates  except  B.  Plant  2 feet  apart.  15/-  doz. 

DURANTA  Plumieri. — A favourite  subject  In  Sydney.  When  properly  looked  after 
it  makes  a very  fine  hedge.  Struck  from  cuttings  to  ensure  uniformity.  Plant 
2 feet  apart.  A.B.M.P.S.  From  3 in.  pots,  10/-  doz.  ; 75/-  per  100.  From  4 in. 
pots,  12/-  doz.;  85/-  per  100. 

ESCALLONIA  macrantha. — A very  hardy  variety  for  all  climates  except  B.  Plant 
2 feet  apart,  15/-  doz. 

EUGENIA  Luehmanni. — The  small  leaved  Lilly  Pilly.  One  of  the  very  best  varieties 
and  grown  for  the  delightful  colours  of  the  young  foliage  which  is  quite  as 
beautiful  as  any  flower.  The  leaves  are  pale  pink,  brown,  purple,  and  later 
green.  Plant  3 feet  apart.  B.S.  21/-  doz. 

HIBISCUS. — Nearly  all  the  varieties  are  suitable  for  hedges,  but  we  recommend  that 
only  one  sort  be  used  for  each  hedge,  as  varying  height  and  habit  make  uni- 
formity impossible  if  the  kinds  are  mixed.  Plant  3 feet  apart.  B.S.  15/-  to 
21/-  doz. 

LIGUSTRUM  Privet. — These  are  quite  the  commonest  subjects  for  hedges,  but 
cannot  be  recommended  unless  particularly  well  kept.  They  are  fast  growers, 
surface  rooters,  have  flowers  with  an  objectionable  perfume  and  produce 
black  berries  which  do  not  add  to  the  beauty  of  the  hedge.  Hardy  everywhere. 
Plant  1 to  2 feet  apart.  2/6  doz. ; 17/6  per  100. 

LIGUSTRUM  New  Golden. — This  is  puite  an  exception  to  the  above  rule  and  pro- 
vides the  best  variegated  hedge  possible.  Hardy  everywhere.  Plant  2 feet 
apart.  12/-  doz. ; 90/-  per  100. 

LANTANA. — The  varieties  Drap  d'Or  and  Chelsea  Gem  are  excellent  for  a dwarf 
hedge,  and  are  constantly  in  bloom.  L.  Sellowiana,  if  given  a little  support  at 
first,  will  quickly  make  a neat,  low  hedge.  A.M.P.S.  12/-  doz.;  90/-  per 
100

HEDGE  PLANTS— Continued 

METROSIDEROS  tomentosa. — The  New  Zealand  Xmas  Bush.  A most  uncommon,  yet 
very  beautiful  plant  with  glossy  foliage  and  crimson  flowers.  Dense  growing 
and  good  in  every  way.  Plant  3 to  4 feet  apart.  M.S.  21/-  doz. 

MURRAYA  exotica.- — For  a dwarf  hedge  this  is  one  of  the  really  choice  varieties. 
Slow  growing  and  reaching  maturity  about  4 feet,  it  is  beautiful  alike  in 
its  dark  green  foliage  and  sweet  scented  orange  blossom  flower.  B.S.  21/- 
doz. 

OLEA.  europea. — A very  hardy  evergreen  which  withstands  heat  and  drought  to  a 
mjuch  greater  extent  than  any  other  variety.  It  does  not  transplant  well  ex- 
cept from  pots  and  we  offer  only  plants  grown  in  this  way  which,  although 
more  expensive  at  first  sight,  do  away  with  the  trouble  and  disappointment 
of  replanting  the  gaps  when  the  cheaper  lines  from  open  ground  are  used. 
Hardy  everywhere.  Plant  2 feet  part.  15/-  doz. 

PLUMBAGO  capensis. — Suitable  for  a low  hedge,  either  planted  with  all  blue,  or 
blue  and  white  alternately.  It  suckers  badly  from  the  roots  which  is  an 
objection  in  certain  positions.  Plant  2 feet  apart.  A.B.M.P.S.  15/-  doz. 

RHAPHIOLEPIS  indica. — A very  hardy  hedge,  suitable  for  all  climates  and  pre- 
senting quite  a variety  of  colour.  The  young  growth  Is  brownish  red,  which 
at  a distance  frequently  looks  like  bloom.  It  is  followed  by  pinkish  white 
flowers  and  then  black  berries.  It  is  evergreen  and  resists  drought  well  and 
may  be  kept  in  good  order  with  a minimum  of  attention.  Hardy  everywhere. 
Plant  3 feet  apart.  15/-  doz. 

ROSES. — Under  certain  conditions  Roses  make  good  hedges.  It  is  very  necessary 
to  plant  only  one  sort,  or,  if  more  than  one,  only  those  of  similar  growth.  The 
polyantha  varieties  are  suitable  for  low  hedges  and  Red  Letter  Day,  Gruss  an 
Teplitz,  Maman  Cochet,  White  Maman  Cochet,  General  MacArthur,  Com- 
tesse  de  Cayla,  Hadley,  Hawlmark  Crimson,  Radiance,  Red  Radiance,  and 
Comtesse  de  la  Barthe  for  taller  work.  Plant  2 feet  apart.  16/-  doz. ; £6  per 
100. 

TECOMA  capensis.— An  orange-red  flowering  shrub  greatly  used  in  New  Zealand 
and  some  of  our  own  suburbs.  It'  is  very  hardy  and  quick  growing.  Plant 
3 feet  apart.  15/-  doz. 

VIBURNUM  tinus. — The  Laurustinus  particularly  suited  to  cold  climates  where  its 
pink  buds  in  spring  open  to  white  blooms  dear  to  the  English  heart.  Leaves 
are  liable  to  attacks  from  red  spider.  Plant  2 feet  apart.  15/-  doz. 

Other  Subjects. — Japanese  Maple  (seedlings),  Acalypha,  Azaleas,  Arduina, 

Boronias,  Brunfelsia,  Choisya,  Euonymus,  Ficus  nitida,  Gardenia,  Hydrangeas,  Mag-

Geological  evidence  shows  that  it  is 
the  last  survivor  of  an  ancient 
family  which  flourished  during 
Secondary  times  and  can  even  be 
traced  back  to  Primary  rocks.  In 
Mesozoic  times  this  genus  played 
an  important  part  in  the  arbore- 
scent flora  of  north  temperate  cli- 
mates. Together  with  a number  of 
other  trees  it  would  have  become  ex- 
tinct, but  for  the  intervention  of 
Buddhist  and  Taouist  priests,  who 
treated  it  as  a sacred  tree  and  al- 
ways associated  it  with  temples 
and  shrines.  (E.  H.  Wilson  in  “Ro-

Out  Door  Palms 


One  of  the  most  important  objects  in  laying  out  a garden  is  to  avoid  monotony 
of  foliage  and  to  guard  against  this  the  use  of  hardy  palms  is  not  only  advisable 
but  lifts  any  planting  scheme  on  to  a very  much  higher  plane. 

Although  most  palms  belong  to  tropical  climates  those  mentioned  here  are 
all  hardy  in  their  particular  divisions  and  their  use  is  strongly  recommended  to  all 
planters.  They  possess  a gracefulness  of  outline  peculiar  to  themselves  and  are 
invaluable  for  lawn  specimens.

BRAHEA. — (Tycho  Brahe;  a cele- 
brated astronomer.)  Also  called 
Pritchardia  or  Washingtonia. 
robusta. — Cotton  or  Railway 

Palm  from  2 6 

The  variety  most  commonly  grown. 
In  Sydney  it  is  largely  used  on  the 
Railway  Stations  from  which  it  gets 
its  name  of  Railway  Palm.  The 
large  fan  shaped  leaves  bear  cur- 
ious, white  threads  from  which  it 
also  derives  its  name  of  Cotton 
Palm.  It  is  a very  fast  growing 
subject  running  up  quickly  to  a tall 
stem  and  requires  a large  garden 
to  set  it  off  properly.  A.B.M.P.S. 

CIIAMAEROPS. — (Chamai,  dwarf;  ropos,

of  Trachycarpus.

a cocoanut  is  thought  to  resemble 
a monkey’s  head.)

Great  Praise  for  Our  Plants 

The  plants  received  are  splendid,  and  your  Catalogue  so  explicitly  com- 
piled that  to  rose-growers  it  is  indeed  an  indispensable  guide. — A.P.N.,  Bris- 
bane, Queensland. 

Columbia  is  a beauty.  I have  bad  some  lovely  blooms  off  it,  and  such  a 
high  perfume!  Rose  Marie  is  also  a beautiful  variety  and  a rich  perfume,  a 
splendid  grower.  I can  recommend  both  to  anyone  in  search  of  good  roses. —

Kurume  Azaleas 


These  are  named  after  a district  in  Japan  and  may  be  called  the  “Tom 
Thumb”  Azaleas.  They  are  low-growing,  producing  small  flowers  in  the  greatest 
profusion,  so  that  the  plants  are  frequently  covered  with  bloom.  They  are  specially 
suitable  for  edging  and  bedding  purposes  and  as  a cut  flower,  last  splendidly  in 
water.  Many  of  the  varieties  show  hose  in  hose  double  form  and  some  very  gay 
and  dainty  colours  are  available.  We  recommend  these  with  the  greatest  confidence 
as  very  fine  novelties.  2/-  each;  21/-  per  dozen.

Azalea  Mollis 

The  ordinary  Chinese  Azaleas  give  a wonderful  variety  of  nearly  all  colours 
except  yellow.  In  this  class  the  yellow,  salmon  and  orange  shades  predominate 
and  although  not  evergreen  the  plants  are  some  of  the  most  striking  in  the  list. 
The  blooms  .are  produced  before  the  leaves  in  early  spring  and  last  particularly 
well  in  water  thus  providing  a unique  decorative  possibility.  The  plants  require  the 
same  treatment  regarding  manuring  and  soil  as  other  Azaleas  and  may  be  grown  in 
partial  shade  if  desired.  Suitable  for  H.M.Mt.  and  selected  positions  in  S.

Ericas  (The  Heath) 

2/6  each;  27/-  per  dozen. 

Ericas  are  a very  pretty  class  of  plants  and  very  free-flowering.  Anyone  pos- 
sessing a small  collection  may  have  flowers  throughout  the  entire  year;  in  fact,  some 
of  the  varieties  are  scarcely  ever  out  of  bloom. 

The  most  suitable  soil  for  Heaths  is  sandy  peat,  but  they  will  do  very  well 
in  any  ordinary  sandy  ground;  when  the  soil  is  naturally  heavy,  a mixture  of  about 
one  half  or  more  of  river  sand  will  grow  Heaths  very  well,  but  no  manure  of  any 
kind  should  be  used  unless  it  is  thoroughly  decomposed,  and  then  it  should  only  be 
applied  as  a top  dressing,  or  mulching,  during  Summer.  On  no  account  should  lime 
be  used  near  the  plants.  They  must  be  kept  well  watered  and  not  disturbed  by  dig- 
ging. H.M.Mt.S.

Gerberas 

No  other  flower  has  created  quite  the  same  stir  in  the  last  few  years  as  the 
Gerbera,  and  since  the  introduction  of  Adnets  hybrids  they  have  improved  both  in 
quality  and  reputation  and  are  known  as  one  of  the  finest  florists  flowers  available. 
The  blooms  are  almost  continuously  produced  on  splendid  long  stems,  last  fully 
10  days  in  water  and  possess  a variety  of  colour  to  satisfy  every  taste. 

The  crowns  of  the  plants  should  be  placed  just  at  the  ground  level  or  slightly 
above  as  if  the  soil  works  into  the  centre  the  plants  soon  die.  The  beds  them- 
selves are  better  if  raised  up  as  is  usual  for  carnations. 

We  do  not  offer  unflowered  seedlings,  as  too  many  short-petalled  types  and 
inferior  colours  have  to  be  weeded  out.  Selected  seedlings  to  colour.  See  illus-

class  condition,  as  usual,  and  I expect  them  to  go  right  ahead  without  a 
check.— H.E.N.,  Lismore,  9th  July,  1924. 

You  will  be  pleased  to  know  that  I got  the  championsnip  in  the  Parra- 
matta Show  with  one  of  your  Roses,  John  Davidson. — J.M.,  Parramatta.  19th 
March,  1924. 

The  Roses  I purchased  from  you  for  myself  and  others  last  season  have 
all  turned  out  a great  success. — A.H.M.,  New  Lambton,  April  28th,  1924. 

The  Roses  arrived  to-day  in  very  good  order.  We  are  very  pleased  with 
the  condition  and  grow  th  of  them. — H.A.P.,  Medina,  via  Orange,  13th  Aug.,  1924. 

The  roses  I received  from  you  last  year  have  all  done  well,  especially 
Betty  Uprichard,  which  I am  delighted  with. — Mrs.  M.C.P.,  Croydon,  16th 
July,  1924. 

About  18  months  ago  I purchased  some  Roses  from  you,  and  have  been 
very  pleased  with  the  results,  for,  in  spite  of  the  strong  sea-breezes  to  which 
we  are  exposed,  all  have  done  remarkably  well. — Mrs.  G.M.P.,  Swansea,  Tas., 
31st  March,  1924. 

My  customer  was  delighted  with  the  excellent  quality  Roses,  Liquidambar, 
and  Boronia  plants  supplied  by  you. — E.R.P.,  Exeter,  22nd  September,  1924. 

The  Roses  you  sent  me  are  undoubtedly  the  finest  plants  it  has  ever  been 
my  lot  to  handle,  and  I have  grown  many  varieties,  but  never  before  have  I 
seen  healthier  or  better-grown  plants. — W.J.T.P.,  Coledale. 

We  had  our  Spring  Show  last  Saturday.  I got  H.C.  for  six  roses,  of  which 
two  blooms  were  from  plants  received  from  you  in  July.  It  is  good  going 
to  get  show  blooms  in  about  ten  weeks  from  planting.— H.E.N.,  Lismore. 

You  will  be  glad  to  hear  that  I have  had  some  of  the  finest  blooms  I have 
ever  seen  from  your  plants,  notably  Hadley,  E.  Somerset,  and  Madame 
Butterfly. — H.B.N.,  Sydney. 

I have  much  pleasure  in  letting  you  know  that  the  Roses  I received  from 
you  in  June  are  doing  great  work:  some  have  shoots  18  inches  long,  and  are 
very  healthy,  and  are  quite  up  to  expectations. — G.N.,  Caringbah. 

My  customer  was  delighted  with  the  excellent  quality  Roses  and  plants 
supplied  by  you.  All  plants  are  doing  well. — E.R.P.,  Exeter. 

I am  very  pleased  with  the  whole  parcel,  as  the  stock  is  good,  and  opened 
up  in  first  class  order. — L.F.P.,  Kenmore. 

The  parcel  of  Climbing  Roses  reached  me  in  good  order.  The  roses  are 
very  fine,  strong  plants,  and  I am  more  than  pleased  with  them. — Mrs.  H.N., 
Mudgee. 

Out  of  both  lots  of  Roses  I obtained  from  you  I did  not  lose  one.  They 
are  all  blooming  wonderfully  at  present,  and  are  greatly  admired. — Mrs.  G.M., 
Junee. 

The  Rose  plants  arrived  on  31st  May,  in  good  order  and  condition.  They 
are  a fine  lot  of  plants,  and  I am  well  satisfied  with  them. — J.J.B.,  Blacktown. 

The  Roses  that  we  got  from  you  two  years  ago  have  made  marvellous 
growth,  particularly  Sachsengruss. — Mrs.  E.W.,  West  Maitland.

HAZLEWOOD  BROS. 


1 have  opened  parcels  of  Roses  from  all  States  in  Australia,  also  Ireland; 
never  have  I seen  a parcel  which  called  for  admiration  such  as  the  parcel 
just  received  from  your  firm. — E.F.G.,  Melbourne,  Vic. 

Roses,  as  per  invoice  of  12th  inst.,  to  hand  in  fine  condition,  and  I now 
look  forward  to  seeing  their  blooms. — R.S.,  Strathfield. 

I have  been  growing  Roses  for  twenty-five  years,  but  I never  saw  any 
make  better  growth  or  give  more  satisfaction  than  those  I got  from  you  in 
June  last.  Well-rooted,  shapely  and  sturdy,  they  quickly  established  them- 
selves, and  already  have  given  me  some  excellent  blooms. — E.D.,  Frederickton. 

Very  many  thanks  for  the  Roses  you  sent.  They  are  a particularly  fine 
lot  of  plants. — Mrs.  A.S.,  North  Sydney. 

The  plants  that  I got  from  you  last  season  are  growing  well,  and  some 
of  them  nave  been  in  my  winning  lot  at  different  Shows. — G.J.S.,  Red  Hill,  Qld. 

Herewith  I have  pleasure  in  enclosing  cheque  for  the  Roses,  which  came 
to  hand  in  splendid  condition,  and  I am  very  satisfied  with  their  robust 
appearance. — W.S.,  Arncliffe. 

The  Roses  and  Hydrangeas  you  sent  me  two  months  ago  have  made  won- 
derful growth,  and  are  now  carrying  plenty  of  buds. — H.E.N.,  Lismore,  15th 
September,  1924. 

The  plants  I received  from  you  last  year,  considering  it  was  so  late  in  the 
season,  have  done  very  well. — J.H.M.,  Sandgate,  Qld.,  18th  May,  1924. 

I received  your  1924  Catalogue,  for  which  I thank  you.  It  has  proved 
very  interesting  and  informative,  and  indicates  what  an  immense  amount  of 
trouble  and  research  you  make  to  produce  such  a chatty  and  practical  little 
handbook  upon  the  Queen  of  Flowers. — J.G.A.,  Bendigo,  Vic. 

To  be  frank,  I read  over  your  Rose  Encyclopaedia  more  than  any  book 
or  paper  I get.  Pardon  me,  it  is  not  a common  or  garden  catalogue,  by  any 
means.  It  is  just  what  I have  named  it.  A work  containing  true  information 
on  roses. — R.A.N.,  Hong  Kong. 


COMMENTS  ON  OUR  CATALOGUE 

Many  thanks  for  your  Catalogue.  It  is  one  of  the  most  informative  I have 
seen,  and  is  almost  as  good  as  a plant  dictionary.  You  are  to  be  congratu- 
lated. The  photos,  too,  are  very  fine. — E.  E.  Pescott,  Dept,  of  Agric.,  Melb. 

I have  looked  carefully  through  the  Catalogue,  and  consider  your  descrip- 
tions and  comments  very  good. — E.M.,  Portland  Nurseries,  Shrewsbury,  Eng. 

Your  Catalogue  of  roses  reached  me  this  morning,  and  I spent  nearly 
an  hour  of  great  enjoyment  reading  it.  Let  me  send  you  my  congratulations 
on  the  Catalogue  itself.  Some  of  our  rose-growers  issue  interesting  lists,  but 
yours  is  by  far  the  best  Rose  Catalogue  which  has  come  my  way,  and  I shall 
find  it  very  useful.  I had  no  idea  that  rose-growing  has  been  taken  up  in 
Australia  with  such  energy  and  success. — Rev.  R.  W.  Carew  Hunt.,  Oxon,  Eng. 

Best  of  all,  I received  the  Catalogue,  which  was  a great  pleasure.  The 
reading  was  most  interesting  and  instructive.  At  last  I hope  we  have  struck 
a firm  of  rose-lovers,  as  well  as  rose-growers.  For  years  I have  been  trying 
roses  recommended  and  “cracked  up”  by  Catalogues,  with  the  result  that  I 
have  had  many  failures,  and  often  years  of  disappointment — the  growth  and 
character  of  the  roses  being  quite  unsuited  to  this  climate  and  soil. — J.H., 
Braidwood,  N.S.W. 

I am  sending  along  a few  random  suggestions  about  your  last  Catalogue, 
which  I consider  an  excellent  production.  A catalogue  such  as  yours  has 
been  a long-felt  want.  Had  such  a work  been  in  existence  when  I started 
rose-growing,  I should  have  saved  much  money  and  time  by  being  properly 
directed  in  my  choice  of  rose  plants.  I strongly  recommend  your  Catalogue 
to  all  my  friends. — J.M.,  Parramatta,  N.S.W. 

I appreciate  your  Catalogue  very  much.  It  is  nicely  got  up,  and  is  very 
satisfactory  all  round.  Anyone  who  cannot  pick  out  from  it  what  he  wants 
in  the  way  of  roses,  etc.,  should  go  to  sleep  again. — F.S.,  Levuka,  Fiji.
