Ivory, introduced last year, is a splendid producer of buds and flowers during the winter months; in fact, is considered of unusual merit and value as a white forcing Rose. This variety is thought highly of by nearly all the growers who have given it trial this year, and we hear of large increase to be planted of this variety; this would seem to indicate its popularity and standing. The variety is lacking in foliage, and this is a very pronounced defect, nevertheless the variety has so many good qualities that it more than counterbalances this weak point.
