Francis Scott Key, a John Cook rose disseminated in a small way last year, was shown by F. E. Pierson Co., Tarry- town, N. Y. Mr. Pierson thinks so well of it that he will give it much wider distribution this season. It is a deeper American Beauty color, a large, full flower. Mrs. Moorfield Storey, the 1914-15 in- troduction of the Waban Eose Con- servatories, Natick, Mass., was staged by the originator. It is a delightful shade of shell pink, perhaps nearer to Taft than anything else, but much larger and more double than that popu- lar variety. Carnations. No classes were provided for carna- tions, but there were a considerable number of exhibits, principally of new varieties. Alice, which Peter Fisher, of Ellis, Mass., says is the most free-blooming variety he has yet raised, had suffered somewhat during its long journey, but acquitted itself creditably. The light flesh pink color is well liked and the form is excellent. Aviator, from the Chicago Carnation Co., Joliet, 111., sat where the afternoon sun made its bright scarlet glow after a fashion that caught every eye. The flower is excellent; if the growth is as good as the color it should prove an acquisition. On the second day a vase of Peerless Pink was placed with the display of Aviator. From the J. D. Thompson Carnation Co., Joliet, 111., came three seedlings raised by the superintendent, P. W. Peterson. They have been well named, buperb. Vera and Hero. Superb is a deep flesh pink, darker than Gloriosa; Vera a flesh pink a little darker than Enchantress; Hero a deep pink, darker than Mrs. Ward. One or more of these probably will be disseminated next season. Bassett & Washburn, Chicago, staged a vase of their scarlet seedling, Belle Washburn, which is being grown in quantity for their cut flower trade. P. J. Olinger, Newcas
