Lynch's Hybrid. New Pink Wichuraiana Rose. In presenting this new acquisition, to the already popular type of Wichuraiana roses, we do not hesi- tate to say, that in this novelty the hybridist has reached the limit of his art, and that, perhaps, never again will a true Wichuraiana with a Pink so pure and chaste as this one be produced. This new rose is the offspring of Eosa Wichuraiana and General Jacqueminot, and so truly does it partake of the nature of each parent, that not only in the blend- ing of the color, but in the habit of the plant as well, do the charac- teristics of each stand out con- spicuously ; for while it retains the healthy growth and waxy foliage of the Wichuraiana, the Jacque- minot has added to its strength in such a degree that it will attain a height seldom reached by any climbing rose. The florets are semi-double, and are borne in large panicles on long stout stems which, with its popular shade of pink, will make the rose as useful for decorative purposes as for landscape engineer- ng. Very fragrant. Bronze medal awarded by the Newport Horticul- tural Society, 1898. Ea. 75c., doz. $8.00. Dorothy Perkins, .piendia new, shell-pink Climbing Eose. It attracted much attention at the Pan-American Exposition where a bed of fourteen-months-old plants pro- duced a show of bloom unequaled by any other variety, unless it was the famous Crim- son Eambler. This new rose is of the same strong habit of growth as Crimson Eambler, and the flowers are borne in clusters of 30 or 40 and sometimes even 50 to 60. The flowers are large for a rose of this class, very double, sweetly scented and of a beautiful shell pink, a color that it is almost impossible to accurately represent by lithography. Eaised from seed of Eosa Wichuraiana crossed with that grand old rose Mme. Gabriel Luizet. Absolutely hardy. Mr. Wm. Scott, the Ass't Supt. of Horticulture at the Pan-American says, regarding the Doro- thy Perkins: This has exactly the habit of the well-known Crimson Eambler. It has flowered splendidly and has been very brilliant. This seems to me to be a great acquisition, and I believe it to be a good forcing rose." The in- dividual flower is larger than the Crimson Eambler, but it is a beautiful shell pink in color.
