In the newer houses, there are four benches five feet in width, planted five plants across the bench. Mr. Keimel believes the narrow benches are the more productive, because the outside plants, receiving more light and air, pro- duce better growth and more blooms. This theory is borne out by a^ narrow bench which runs along the end of all the houses, beside the wide concrete walk on which a narrow railway runs. This bench contains two rows. The plants in this bench are the finest on the place and are extraordinarily pro- ductive. Of course, they have every- thing in their favor. A Few for Trial. The bench which is devoted to novel- ties and home-produced sports contains a good deal that is of interest. Mr. Keimel's knowledge of the rose from a commercial cut flower standpoint is recognized as most thorough, and his opinion is sought. On this bench are, in addition to a number of novelties either lately sent out or soon to be sent out, some sports which Mr. Keimel is watching with close interest. He has two sports of Columbia, differing from that variety only slightly in color and a little in manner of growth and bud formation. They represent the variety at its best, in Mr. Keimel's eyes, and if these plants live up to present indica- tions, he will propagate from them for future stock of the variety. One sport of Ophelia is especially interesting be- cause it is a departure from the ac- cepted color scheme. From a saffron base the bloom becomes pinker and pinker, until the tips of the petals are almost red, the color deepening as the flower becomes older. The dual colol.
