Annual Show. The annual rose show was held in the Boyal Botanic Gardens, London, July 9, on a glorious summer day. The gardens were thronged with thousands of visit- ors, listening to and enjoying the music in the open air and pushing their way through the tents with difficulty to see the roses, the crowd surging thickly around the tents containing the novel- ties and special blooms. It was a great show, with the leading growers present in strong force. The principal novelty was Mrs. An- drew Carnegie, a hybrid tea raised by J. Cocker & Sons, Aberdeen. It was the sensational rose of the day and it proba- bly has a good future as a commercial variety. It is a cross between Frau Karl Druschki and Niphetos, possessing all the good qualities of the Druschki flower; of a pleasing lemon tint; scented; full and free. Eosarians gen- erally were loud in their praises of it and the judges awarded it the society's gold medal. A second gold medal went to another hybrid tea, Old Gold, from S. McGredy & Son, Portadown, Ireland, a good decorative variety, with fiery cop- per and orange shades or a lovely com- bination of golden tints. Good Novelties. Though failing to win the coveted gold medal, quite a large array of seed- ''Jigs, some of them exceptionally good, ran up pretty closely and gained the sil- y^ gilt medal. The list included the lollowing hybrid teas: Mrs. F. W. Van- jerbilt, after the style of Betty, with ^Her flower and more intense in shade; ^i'«. E.
