Walking on past the Wishing Tree and through the gates dividing the middle from the lower garden, we come upon a bed with 60 plants of the ever-blooming, never-want pruning, Australian-raised garden rose named Mrs. Alister Clark, planted in July, 1916. This rose was raised several years ago in the garden of Mr. Alister Clark, near Melbourne. This year we shall have for one of our novelties, or new roses, one called Queen Alexandra, raised by the Rev. J. H. Pemberton, that received awards of merit from the National Rose Society of England, and which appears to be identical with Mrs. Alister Clark.

The latter variety is at its best in the bud form.
