“Wyndmoor” is another Pennsylvania seedling, as it is a native of Montgomery County, and was raised from seed in a rose-growing locality by the name which the new rose is known by, namely Wyndmoor. This rose growing settlement is about one half mile over the dividing line the City Hall Philadelphia and one half mile over the dividing line between Montgomery and Philadelphia Counties. There are now seven separate establishments located here, where in the year 1880, one only was started in a very modest and unpretentious way. It takes about five thousand tons of coal every winter to heat the numerous greenhouses here. The new rose now under consideration is a seedling between the well known and celebrated "American Beauty" and "Safrano," another old time favorite, which flourished at the same time with the Bon Silene, above referred to. Wyndmoor is also pink in color, resembling in that respect the Hybrid Remontant, "Mrs. John Laing," though the flower of the new rose is not quite so large as the older variety, but it has the advantage of being a perpetual bloomer. It is very well thought of by those who admire and use flowers in large quantities. At one of the swell balls held a week or two ago in Philadelphia, buds and open blossoms of this variety were used to the number of seventeen hundred and gave entire satisfaction. So far this new variety has only been used for winter flowering.
