Miss Columbia Ranks High in Rose Beauty Contest; Grown by Mr. Hill

of 40 pounds the first

"June brings tulips, lilies, roses, Kills the children' hunds with posies."

So the little Terse says and people everywhere liked bo well the flowers that Juno and the other

months brought when they came, that some men decided to raise flowers, the loveliest flowers they could, so that people could see and be with flowers all the year round, and so we have florists. Right here in Richmond lives a florist a fine, kindly man who is known all over the United States and in England and Ireland as a rose grower. Of course, you have already guessed his name. It is Mr. Gurney Hill. Mr. Hill has grown many new roses. But why new ones, perhaps you ask; were not the old ones lovely enough? Yes; but some had larger, finer, flowers; some better foliage; and some were healthier

bloomers than others. To grow a rose which in Itself has more of these qualities: that is, to grow a more perfect rose, is the chief purpose of growing new roses. Columbia Is One of Mr. Hill's Finest Roses The Columbia, which made its appearance in 1920, is regarded as perfect a rose as is grown, and for it, Mr. Hill has been awarded three gold medals. There are about 100,000 Columbia roses now being

grown in the United States and England, Mis3 Sarah Hill, a sister of Mr. Gurney Hill, told the Junior Palladium editor a few days ago. Miss Hill has worked with her brother for a number of years, and is keenly interested in the growing of roses. What makes a splendid rose? we ask. Here are the chief reasons why the Columbia is regarded so highly, from a florist's point of view: Tt Is good-natured and easy to grow. It Is a splendid grower, each plant Riving from 15 to 20 blooms a year. A lovely shade of pink, It deep

Its long, stiff stem holds Its lovely large head erect. It has a splendid fragrance. The foliage is handsome, the

leaves large, the stems nearly thornless. Free from mildew, this rose Is a. sturdy, healthy plant. So we see Columbia has her own reasons for being so well-liked and admired. Other new roses grown by Mr.
