the cups be awarded to the respective
Introducers of the best Hybrid Perpet

Tea for general cultivation that had
been put upon the market since and
Including the year 1800. A committee
of 60 was selected, comprising both
professional and amateur rose growers,
and In due course the prizes were
awarded. In the Hybrid Perpetual class
58 votes out of 60 were cast In favor
of that queen of white roses, Frau
Karl Druschkl. This splendid variety
is a seedling from Merveille de Lyon,
which was crossed with Mme. Caroline
Testout. It was shown for the first
time at the Rose Exhibition at Trier,
Germany, In 1900. Strange to say, it
was not then awarded a prize of any
kind. Since then, however, it has made
rapid strides In popularity, has secured
prizes wherever exhibited, and very
few rose lovers are now without at
least one plant in their garden. It re

Eighty-three voting papers were re

rosarians of Great Britain and else
where. The result was quite Interest

rose, "Dorothy Perkins," stood highest
in the list of ramblers and climbers of
all colors. In fact, only two, varieties
in the whole competition received a
greater number of votes than "Dorothy

lng more or-less singly (1. e., not In clus

Mme. Alfred Carriere was the top. Such
competitions are. most useful to the gen
eral rose-loving public, for it must ' be
borne in mind, that the prizes are
awarded to those varieties best suited
for general cultivation in the garden,
and not to those whose chief and special
characteristics and qualification are suit
ability for the show table and exhibi
tion hall.
Another event that has created a
world-wide Interest among rose lovers
has recently taken place. I refer to the
competition held this Summer In the
Bols de Boulogne, Paris, to which rose
growers and introducers of new varieties
generally were Invited by Mons. Jules
Gravereaux and others to send for com
petition their latest creations, five plants ,
of each variety. Eighty-seven new roses
were exhibited from the leading rose
growers of the world. A Jury of seven
experts was selected to decide upon the
merits of these roses. American hybrid
izers were represented in the person of
E. G. Hill, of Richmond, Ind. (the in
troducer of that favorite hybrid tea rose.
"Richmond," and several other good va
rieties), who acted as one of the judges.
The roses were Judged by points, 10 be
ing the acme of perfection. That new
and wonderful "Lyon Rose" (1907) was
awarded by the jury the maximum num
ber of points. A new and very promis
ing seedling, originated by Mr. Hill and
named "Rhea Reid," received 8 points,
which speaks well for Its good qualities,
especially as the plants sent over from
America had not really had sufficient
time to become properly established in
French soil at the time fixed for the
competition. The remainder of the va
rieties exhibited received rrom s points
down to 5. And so the march of prog
ress in the world of roses steps along. I
will In a later article endeavor to tell
something further about other matters
pertaining to this interesting subject.
