New Rose, Charles P. Kilh.\.m Abol (F. Evans, 1927). An exceptionally vigorous growing, very free-flowering, new white. No other white variety, and for that matter, very few colored varieties, have such a delightful sweet perfume as this novelty. In the bud stage and before the flowers are f uUy expanded, the centre petals are sometimes tinted with pink on the edges of the petals, passing to pure white as the flowers develop. A good shapely bud and full, double, well formed flower, produced very freely on long upright stems with very few thorns. § each. Adele Crofton (Ales. Dickson & Sons, 1928.) No other Rose of the apricot yellow shades was so universally admired during the past season, in our trial grounds, as Adele Crofton, not only on account of its color but also on its refined formation of bud and bloom. The buds, which are of unusual length, expand very slowly and hold their splendid form for a long time. The buds_ as well as the young flowers, are of an intense cadmium yellow, overlaid with scarlet-orange with the back of the petals fre- quently shaded vermilion. The opening flower as it develops tones down in color to a rich apricot yeUow. The plant is of moderately vigorous, clean growth and carries its flowers on good rigid stems. § each. Advocate (Alex. Dickson & Sons, 1928). A meritorious, rich crimson bedding variety, with very long pointed buds, de- veloping to a full, shapely flower composed of large deep petals set in high spiral formation. Growth strong and vigorous, forming a bush of best bedding type, free and perpetual flower- ing and carrying its blooms, which are exceptionally fragrant, erect on stiff wiry stems. § Dorina Neav: Prices on dormant Rose plants for delivery in the autumn include free delivery to any Posto
