"The Queen of Flowers" By Edwin Lonsdale
Mme. Cusin had a brief popularity. Its form was very regular, almost like a Camellia, and its delicate pink color was in demand; but all growers could not produce it at a profit, hence its decline. A sport from the “Cusin” was Mrs. J. Pierpont Morgan, which is a stronger grower, and in consequence its buds were easier to produce. The flowers are also larger and a much darker shade of color, approaching solferino. Now Mrs. Morgan has taken upon itself to sport both in Canada and in the United States; the latter variety is known as Mrs. Oliver Ames, and the former Canadian Queen, and both are of the most delicate shades of pink in color, even lighter, it is believed, than the original Mme. Cusin. The sporting tendencies of Mrs. Morgan have so far the appearance of reversions to the older variety, and they may prove to be so nearly alike as to be practically identical. It has been stated that the one which originated in Canada is more robust in growth than the other. This point, however, can only be definitely determined after a careful test when being grown side by side under as nearly the same treatment as possible.

The exhibition of flowers and sculpture at Madison Square Garden...
The Rose classes were fairly well contested and some good blooms were to be seen. The greatest interest centered around the exhibit of Canadian Queen shown by the Dale Estate, Brampton, Ont. This is a sport from Mrs. J. P. Morgan and strongly resembles, if, indeed, it is not identical with Mrs. Oliver Ames. It may be necessary to grow the two side by side before arriving at a conclusion. As shown, the flower appeared to be of a brighter pink than Mrs. Oliver Ames; that was the first impression, yet later on, when the latter variety was put on exhibition, it was more pink than the other. In all probability this is merely another case of simultaneous sporting.
