On Thursday evening a banquet was tendered the visiting delegates by the Washington Florists' Club in the dining room of the Arlington Hotel. [...] At this point the toastmaster introduced John Brady, who he said was the first man to discover the American Beauty rose in America. It seems that Mr. Brady was gardener to Hon. George Bancroft, in whose garden at Washington the American Beauty was first grown. A plant was sold to Field Brothers, and at the instigation of William R. Smith of the Botanic Gardens, the opinion of the late Peter Henderson on the merits of the rose was asked and obtained, and acting on Mr. Henderson's advice, the rose was introduced into commerce by Field Brothers of Washington.

The Rose Duchess of Wellington, introduced by A. Dickson & Sons this year, is described by rosarians as a  "coppery yellow Killarney," and the richest yellow Rose at present in commerce. It is a saffron yellow, with bronzy crimson center, large petals and free flowering. An excellent display of blooms was seen at the recent Holland House Show in London, and it was given an award of merit. The variety is delightfully fragrant.

Sports of Rose Frau Karl Druschki
Regarding the pink Druschki: we will believe this when we see it. The, so-called, red Druschkis have proved wretched things, and the, so-called, yellow Druschki offered last year proves to be an H. T., not unlike Kaiserui Aug. Victoria. I note that the California Rose Co. claims to have a pink sport from Frau Karl Druschki; and Ben. Cant & Sons have recently shown a huge pink seedling from Druschki under the name of Elizabeth, the growth and foliage of which certainly resembles its parent.

This show was opened at Horticultural Hall, Tuesday, March 31....Further on to the right could be seen an excellent display of cut roses from James Comely of Lexington (gardener to Francis B. Hayes), and among them a large number of the new rose, Oakmont, and Francis B. Hayes, of which he is the originator, and the stock of which he recently sold to Mr. John N. May

New rose Franz Deegen. We have pleasure in presenting in this issue, through the courtesy of one of the introducers, Ernest O. Asmus. West Hoboken, N. J., an illustration of the new forcing rose Franz Deegen. This variety was obtained from Kaiserin Augusta Victoria X Sunset X Comtesse de Frigneuse. Of the behavior of the rose Mr. Asmus says: "Franz Deegen is a very free bloomer, a rapid and clean grower, bearing flowers of a golden yellow, with a deep orange center, on long, straight stems. The buds are long and pointed, of good size, and have no tendency to bullhead like those of Perle des Jardins: they open up like the blooms of Bride or Bridesmaid, and no time is lost between crops."

The new rose, Franz Deegen, from appearances, will be a winner. It seems to be very free, of good foliage, and the stem will be all that one could wish for. Fragrance, form, and color are all in its favor, and, above all, it Is a fine keeper, which is more than can be said for any other yellow rose now in commerce.

Regarding Rose Frau K. Druschki, it may not be known that S. McGredy, the well-known Irish raiser, made a great haul with this novelty, for when he received a parcel of new seedlings from Peter Lambert on one occasion he found a bundle of six plants unnamed. All by chance he had them potted up and started, and in a short time a flower bud appeared and he immediately saw he had a prize. He ordered his foreman to propagate as hard as he could, and that season he budded about 2000 stocks outdoors from the young plants he had worked under glass. The following season Lambert announced the coming of Frau K. Druschki, whereupon McGredy exhibited flowers and booked orders by the score, at the same time informing Lambert that he had 2000 maidens. The rush for F. K. Druschki was so great that the German raiser bought a large number of plants from McGredy at 3s. 6d. apiece, while the Irishman cleared the rest at a great profit to himself. Just how the six plants got packed in McGrcdy's parcel in the first place was never explained.

In 1870 the Gloire de Paris, the first long stemmed rose, was introduced, and then followed in rapid succession the Anna de Diesbach, Magna Charta, Anna Alexiff, and several new tea roses — Catherine Mermet and La France — roses all now in common use.

M. A. HART, 113 W. 30th St., finds trade good. He is receiving from 25,000 to 30,000 violets, in first class shape, per day. He finds no scarcity of white carnations, of which he has a full supply of the finest quality. His roses, Gloire de Paris and Magna Charta are also very good

Gloire Lyonnaise, raised by Verdier fils Aine, and sent out in the autumn of 1884, as a yellow flowering hybrid perpetual rose, has considerable merit. It is said to be the result of a cross between Baroness Rotschild and Madame Falcot...
