The Originating of New Varieties

we 8) =6e)~—Ooof:~Flowers or Fruits

| Is handled nowadays in as careful and scientific a manner as the breeding of stock. It is no | longer left entirely to chance, but to secure a new variety combining certain desired qualities, | there are chosen, for the parent varieties, sorts which possess these qualities to the most } marked degree, the same as in the breeding of cattle. For example, one rose may be very fragrant but of poor form and of infrequent babit of blooming. AnotLer may be of good shape and bloom frequently but be entirely lacking in fragrance. By crossing these two a ) mew variety, combining all three qualities, may be secured—with patience. The crossing, or hybridizing, as it is also called, is effected by transferring the pollen (or male element) of one flower to the pistil (or female element) of the other, but the operation is fraught with so many uncertainties that complete success can be hoped for only once in many, many times.

Parentage of the “‘ Dorothy Perkins.’’ This sort was originated from seed of the Japanese variety, Rosa Wichuraiana, hybridized with pollen from that grand old rose, Mme. | Gabriel Luizet. Theseed parent was chosen for its hardiness and vigorous habit of growth, ) the pollen parent for its beautiful color and remarkable freedom of bloom. The qualities of

| both are combined to a remarkable degree in the hybrid, which was one of a lot of two hundred seedlings hybridized in the same manner. While many of the others were of great merit, the ‘‘Dorothy Perkins” was the best of them all.

Hardiness. In this important point nothing more could be desired. Two unusually severe winters failed to injure the plants in the least, although during one of them the tem- perature went as low as 20° below zero and there was not the usual snowfall to protect them.

The Flowers are of large size for this class of rose, usually about one and one-half inches across; are borne in clusters of from ten to thirty and often in racemes of sixty to seventy. They are very double; the petals are very prettily rolled back and crinkled; the buds are remarkable pretty, being pointed in shape and of just the right size for the button-hole.

The Color is a most beautiful clear shell-pink and holds a long time without fading. Even when the flowers commence to fade the color is still pleasing, being then a lovely deep

_ rose.

In Vigorthe “Dorothy Perkins” is a true descendant of Rosa Wichuraiana, making in a single season strong, lusty shoots, often of ten to twelve feet in height.®

In Habit of Growth it is, unlike its seed parent, decidedly upright, having, as is stated below by Mr. Wm. Scott, Assistant Superintendent of Horticulture at the Pan-A meri- ean, exactly the habit of thenow well-known Crimson Rambler. It is therefore especially ‘adapted for planting as a companion rose to Crimson Rambler.

Fragrance. The flowers are very sweetly scented, a characteristic not possessed by most other roses of this class.

The Foliage is of a deep green, of thick leathery texture, and remains on the plant in perfect condition till well on into the winter, making it almost an evergreen variety.

At the Pan-American Exposition there was a bed of Dorothy Perkins roses which attracted an immense amount of attention, although the plants were young stock which had been propagated only some eighteen months before. Mr. Wm. Scott, Assistant Superintendent of Horticulture, expressed in the ‘‘ Florists’ Review,” the following unsolicited opinion regard- ing the variety :

‘* Messrs.————————s ent us last year some plants of their new Rambler Rose ‘Dorothy Perkins.’ This has exactly the habits of the well-known Crimson Rambler. They have flow- ered splendidly and have been very brilliant. This seems to me to be a great acquisition, and I believe it to be a good forcing rose. The individual flower is larger Pha the Crimson Rambler, with not such heavy trusses, but it is a beautiful shell-pink in color.”’ 7

From the Florists’ Exchange:

“The flowers of the new hybrid Wichuraiana rose, ‘Dorothy Perkins,’ are very double and of a pleasing rose or Bridesmaid pink color. For size and color the variety is no doubt an improvement over existing kinds.’’

From the American Florist (in an article describing our nurseries) :

“A number of Wichuraiana seedlings will probably be distributed next year, one of them named Dorothy Perkins. a remarkably free blocmer with very double flowers of a soit, light pink shade, produced in large clusters and very fragrant and lasting.”

A.B. AUSLTIN’S CATALOGUE.

CARD.

In presenting my Annual Catalogue of Fruit, Ornamental and Evergreen Trees, Shrubs and Plants, my customers may rest assured that the collection embraces only the best. I find, after an experience here of over twenty-five years in Nursery and Fruit Grounds, that we have a soil and climate that requires varieties peculiarly adapted to them.

Many varieties of Fruit, Ornamental Trees and Shrubs, and especially small fruits, that do well in the eastern states are nearly or quite worthless here; while many that do indifferently there are valuable here.

The Trees, Shrubs, etc., catalogued and offered for sale are much larger than those ordinarily offered by agents and those shipped in from a distance. The Shrubs are several times transplanted and are very fine and stocky. Have also large nursery grown Shade Trees from 3 to 6 inches in diameter for immediate effect, and large bearing Fruit Trees that have borne in nursery rows. Also have smaller Trees, Shrubs, etc., than those priced in this Catalogue, for which much less ischarged. Will always sell as cheap as any reputable nursery firm for the same class of goods, but find my customers usually want the best and are willing to pay for them, and have tried to grow it for.them. We have now Apple, Cherry and Pear Trees, with many varie- ties of small fruits that do exceedingly well here and can be depended upon to bear well, but ali trees require care, as much at least as a hill of corn or potatoes. They must kave as much care but need no more.

Trees and Shrubs delivered and set on line of C. B. & Q. Railroad.

Contracts also taken to furnish, set and guarantee to corporations, or those starting suburban villages, on reasonable terms.

Large-sized Shrubs on hand and for sale at special prices.
