THE EVE NG STAR, WASHINGT - D. C. Two Years Have Transformed a Tangle of Weeds to One of Washington’s Finest Rose Gardens—Many Rare Bushes in Whitman Cross’ Collection. ‘What is probably the finest ¢ tion of roses in Washington i soming today on a two which three y g0 was a of locusts, blackberry bushes weeds. On this ground, composed of sev- eral house lots, Brookville rc > street and ase, Whit- man )0 bushe: compri: of roses. Some e rare and not otherwise sented in Washington Mr. Cross is experimenting. A rose lover, he is seeking to determine just what varieties do best in the climate of Washington, and he already has discarded more than 40 tH which did not come up to his ideal He is trying out here the best prod ucts of the great Kuropean rose hybridizers. In his collection are probably the only specimens in Washington of the new roses of Peter Lambert, the great German alist, as well as the produced hy Lord Penzance by crosses on the wild eglantine of England. These latter fill the garden with nce from the foliage, especially when the leaves are wet with dew or rain. repre- Made in Two Years. The garden, produced in little mors than two years, is an artistic triumph for Mr. and Mrs. Cross. Botk spared no effort to m one of the show pl: although there has been little attempt at formal landscaping. They have followed a pre-conceived plan. The first year was spent almost en- tirely in getting the ground in shape. It looked like a hopeless task when he first looked upon the jungle-like mass of unsightly bushes which he must clear away, Mr. Cross said. The next year, however, the ground was ready for planting and this Summer represents the ideal well on the o its consumation. Among the rare roses which Mr. Cross has included in his collection are: the xanthina, a Chinese wild rose somewhat like well-known hug- onis, but which makes a more shapely bush; The Marle-Jeanne, a hybrid multifiora; the Shiller, Schubert and Lessing, thick-growing bush roses which bear throughout the Summer clusters of small blossoms of differ- ent colors: the rugosa alba rep a sport of the rugosa alba, which, however, trails the ground and pro- duces large, white single blooms; a bush of the original multifiora, the Japanese rose from which most of the popular climbing roses are de- scendants; the Pax and Thisbe roses, originated in England by Rev. Joseph Pemberton and very little known in this_country; four or five varieties of hybrid sweetbriars as well as the original eglantine itself. Among his roses are some which are not yet in the hands of the dealers, especially a collection of a type just originated by Capt. George H. Thom- rashington, [ol——0x=lalc———=lalc———lallla|———=]a[——= o] ——]1] | ole——0|—— 0| = |a| |0l e=—=3 [0l ———1 0| ——= sl —[ol=r—x| ay |} Above—Mr. Cross’ rose garden in bloom.

Eventually he plans to discard those which do not do well in the climate of Washington, He has found particular! those climbing varietie: the Department of A ulture green- houses at Bell, Md., by the late Dr. W. Van Fleet, which include the Silver Moon, the Dr. Van Fleet and the new Mary Wallace, named for the daugh- ter of the late Secretary of Agricul- ture. He also is well satisfied with Paul's Scarlet Climber, American Pil- lar, Hiawatha, Romeo, Lady C Huey, Emily Grey and Chr | Wright. The - of so-called everblooming _climbers will not s ceed well in Washington, he believes, and the only one of these with which he has had any success a climbing sport of the constant blooming Grus au_Teplitz.

Proper Footwear F. Sg‘reet at Tenth tions in representative northern gar- dens. He believes that Washington can be made a splendid rose city when the home owners get acquainted with some of the remarkable newer forms at their disposal and discard | more and more the old fashioned roses which do not make so good a show. Mr. Cross’ landscape plan is to try out the practicability of a background | of pillar and high bush roses such as the rugosa and hybrid sweetbriars. In | front of these he is arranging the everblooming hybrid teas and teas and | in front of these the still more con- stantly blooming polyantha species. In addition to the roses he takes particular pride in one of the largest albizzia trees in this part of the coun- try. This tree grows freely in the South, but Washington is its northern limit. Scattered about the yards of the city there are several young trees, but the one in Mr. Cross’ yard, which he || found there when he started his land- scaping work, is more than 50 feet high and is completely covered for about three months in the Summer with pinkish white tassels, making it a very conspicuous object on the es- tate. Besides the rose garden is the per- petual garden. The development of this has been the particular work of Mrs. Cross, assisted by Miss Rose Greely, daughter of Gen. Greely, Arctic explorer. It involved a consid- erable engineering as well as land- scaping problem. It leads down from the sunparlor between gray stone walls to a pool which later will be filled with water lilies. It is bordered on both sides with beds of phiox, holy hocks, pinks, chrysanthemums and numerous other flowers, designed to keep up a show of bloom from early Spring to early November.
