18. She was 95 years old. It was in 1907 that Mrs. Lyttle married the late Rev. William Lyttle in the Shanghai Cathedral, and for the next 45 years they were engaged in missionary work throughout China.

For this work they paid heavily when the Japanese occupied the country, spending the next four years in a concentration camp. All their property was confiscated, and the privation of the camp had a serious effect on Mrs. Lyttle's health in later years. In 1905 Chinese communists caused them to flee the country. En route they arrived in Shanghai and obtained passage to San Fransisco.

After a year in the Okanagan, they were in Victoria, where Mr. Lyttle held a teaching position. He later nearly all summer. Some of the newer cultivars have abundant hybrid tea form blooms that are quite useful for cutting as well, as display, but are produced in clusters of up to 20 blooms instead of one to three, as hybrid teas. Age Tendre, a good pink with distinctive fragrance; Babette, very small, almost miniature, clusters of perfectly ormed lavender polyantha-type flowers; Bobbie Lucas, deep salmon-orange on medium sized plants; Charleston, with the most unique flowers one could imagine these are sometimes yellow and sometimes scarlet with all kinds ol combinations of yellow and scarlet, yet each color is well defined and does not run into the other; City of Leeds, a carmine pink cultivar with well spaced flowers in large clusters; Colisee, a top rated floribunda because of its distinctive wavy dentate petals of brilliant red-orange; Daily Sketch, a very fragrant plum and silver bicolor; Europeana, the most perfect of the regular type floribunda rose with double flat flowers in this cultivar the blood-red flowers are produced prolifically over a very long period; Heaven Scent, as its name suggests, is quite heavily scented, striking carrot-red color; Jan Spek, deep golden flowers on neat dwarf bushes, a good edging rose; Pernille Poul-sen, one of the best Poulsen flor-ibundas for its mass of soft pink blooms; and Pink Puff, the blooms of which are actually of puff-like shape, fully double and light pink in color.

a a SOME NEWER ROSES WORTH GROWING For many gardeners who will plant roses this year, half the fun begins when the ground is cracked with ice or covered with snow, Call it armchair gardening or simply daydreaming, but it is a delightful pleasure that breaks out with a rash of colorful pictures in the garden catalogues that are now arriving daily. As you first turn the pages of your rose catalogues, a complete garden springs into being. You can imagine the smell of the delicate flowers and visualize your neighbors stopping in sheer amazement. This temporary joy, however, turns into perplexity as a more thorough examination of the catalogue is made. So many different kinds, each it seems with a special merit designed for your garden but not for your pockctbook.

In the rose garden at the Plant Research Institute where at least 25 plants each of the 60 cult-ivars are under display, both new and old cultivars of many types of roses are prominent. Best of the old reliables are Queen Elizabeth, a tall pink grandiflora hybrid tea roses Crimson jlory, a delightful scented dark red; White Knight, a high-crown-ad white; Tropicana, the sensational scarlet; and Peace, the jest known of all roses because jf its ruggedness in our severe vinters and its large yellow, suffused-pink flowers; and the floribunda Frensham, with deep red flowers; Fashion, shell pink; Alain, red; and Orange Sensation, flaming scarlet. Of the newer roses planted in this garden, the best hybrid tea types are Fritz Theidemann, with huge salmon-red blooms; Flaming Peace, which has the same thick green foliage and flower form of Peace but with a deep rose-red coloring and yellow reverse; Granada, a deep salmon and yellow cultivar; Uncle Walter, deep velvety red; Silver Lining, a lavender-pink with an extremely strong fragrance; Fragrant Cloud, a salmon-red rose with more fragrance than any other roses tested; Brasilia, a deep red; and Pascali, which produces a great abundance of pure white medium sized flowers. In the test gardens, where over 200 cultivars have been under test for three years, the most outstanding are: HYBRID TEAS or HYBRID GRANDIFLORA TYPES Brandenburg, with deep rose-red flowers; Cassandra, a cherry red; City of Hereford, bearing good massive neyron rose flowers; Colorama, very free-flowering, exquisite claret to rose red; HAPPINESS IS LETTING BLOCK DO YOUR We offer convenience, quick service, courtesy, guaranteed accuracy, and low cost.
