If you have any roses that are troubled with chronic mildew, dress them with a very weak solution of permanganate of potash. Very few grains are required to bring four gallons of water up to the strength required. Soak the plant first, and then water the foliage afterwards with the disinfectant. Anything that will clean Beauty Inconstant, a rose that has the reputation of being the least mildew-proof of all, is good enough to recommend. Use some discretion and avoid strong doses.

IN THE GARDEN. New Year Roses. [...] OLD MME. DE WATTEVILLE. Very few of the present-day gardeners know this old-time pink with a picotee edge of carmine coloring. Why? Because she was cast aside on account of being an easy prey to mildew. It was not Madame herself that was at fault; it was those who were so impatient and so anxious for a change. Only yesterday I cut as pretty a batch of Mme. de Watteville as I have ever handled. Every flower was a gem thing. For years one of my bushes had been overgrown and hidden by a Persian lilac. One day recently I tore away the top-hamper, shortened back the old rose, and turned on the water-tap. Warm sunshine and warm rain won the heart of my old rose-bush, and she flowered as she was wont to do in the days when her name was a household word in every community where roses are grown. It was lovely of her to come back for the New Year. I shall see that no further harm or injury is done to her.

SOME RECOMMENDABLE ROSES. [...] Queen Olga of Greece. — Deep, soft, rose-pink, centre shaded yellow. Olga is hardly ever out of flower. It is a charming thing. .

New Year Roses (By "FIVECORNER").
When the New Year finds the amateur gardener happy in the midst of a wonderful crop of good quality roses, all is well. [...]  For the present we are happy to be handed so many exquisite New Year roses. [...] The flowers I saw reminded me that it is too early to part with the friends we made yesterday. All the new-comers are not so true or so trusty as are the Therese Levets, the Maman Cochets, the Perle des Jardins, and the Mme. de Wattevilles that gave us such pleasure In the days that have gone. Fancies change, but true love knows no alteration. 
Souvenir de Therese Levet. 
Yes, another of the old charmers, a rose that is still able to hold her head high in the best of the midsummer company. Light crimson during the cool weather, but sooty crimson during the hottest of the summer days, Therese Levet still holds her charm. It will be a sorry day in the rose garden when this old favorite Is deposed. There are many men and women who say that Therese Levet has had her day, that she is not the equal of General Macarthur, Etoile de France, Sensation, or Etoile de Hollande. What does lt matter whether she is or is not? Therese has something which these other roses have not — power to fight and flower during the hottest days of summer. One can spare a point or two in favor of a rose friend who can do that. I think it would be a hard job to procure a plant of Therese Levet from any of our up-to-date nurserymen. She was turned down some time since, and has not been chosen again. It is time that some of the discarded roses were brought back again.

Very much the darkest of all the free flowering roses, and one which no rose-grower can afford to be without, is my other old friend, Therese Levet. On the hottest day this rose stands well; the greater the heat the darker its coloring. Several days it was so dark that one would have thought it was forgetting that it was a rose.

IN THE GARDEN (By "FIVECORNER.")
For a good winter-bloomlng rose, try Rose d'Evain, [ ... ]. Another excellent rose for this time of year is Vanity, a light yellow, with a brighter coloring in the centre of the flower. It Is a splendid winter worker. While rather on the thin side for the show grower, it makes a beauty for the off season, when flowers are hard to find. Vanity is a true Australian. It was one of Mr. C. H. Halstead's creations. We have no better yellow for the cold season.
