Going to Portlands fall rose president of the Portland Rose so
ciety, told me snoray aner 1 gpi
to the show. 1
Foliage on Mr.; Bower' entries
was very good, I noted. I even
mentioned this. j
"Lot of spraying." pe explained.
Put the two together and you
really have the answer. It takes
more spraying to have nice roses
and nice foliage when the weather
is damp and free from sun than
when it is nice and mild with a
soft breeze blowing. jBreezes blow
away some of the chances for mil
dew. "Men, Mr. Bower! also inform
ed me," as a rule prefer red roses."
He told of the amount of Chris
topher Stones and Cjrimson Glor
ies he had planted in his garden.
Crimson Glory, he Admitted was
"very likely" his favorite rose. He
had 205 bushes in h garden and
these represented but IS varieties.

variety. Twelve of his 16 varieties
were included in his entry of 12
different varieties j on which he
won first! prize in that group. Mr.

Sutter's Gold Good
Fred Edmunds, curator of In
ternational Rose Test Gardens at
Portland, had an interesting dis
play of roses - - the newer ones,
from the j test gardens. Here Char
lotte Armstrong, which was so
beautiful at the spring show, was
a little disappointing. The buds
were not so perfect, the coloring
was less; good. That, too, might
have been because of undeniably
bad rose weather during recent
days. But I missed the fragrance.
The rose! was so beautiful in the
spring that I am sure I do not re
call whether it was fragrant or
not. Probably - notj This week it
stood along side of Sutter's Gold,
which was unusually good in its
autumn coloring and it had a plea
sant tea-rose fragrance.
The comparatively new, small
red Rose of Freedom, proved pop
ular with visitors at the Portland
show. As I stood alongside of it,
many were the favorable com
ments made by those who hesita
ted long enough to look at a rose.
It, too, was a fragrant. Two other
roses, which Mr. Bower called my
attention; to as being "a tittle ex
tra nice at the shpw" were Son
atas and Dickson's red
We all hope tht weather will
