AMERICA'S CONTRIBUTION TO ROSE CULTURE
By JACKSON DAWSON

The best single-flowered product of these Dawson-multiflora crosses was Daybreak, which had the merit of blooming in late July. The flowers are borne in great pyramidal clusters, and the color is very fine, a warm salmon red (or "pink," as some call it), suggesting the popular Daybreak carnation. It is vigorous and profuse, but on account of its trailing habit is useful chiefly for banks and rock work.
