To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The late Mr. Henry Bennett, of Shepper- ton, near Salisbury, first began this good work, and although his earliest productions were not all that he thought them to be, he was evidently on the right track, and he produced some of the most valuable Roses that we have. One has only to mention Her Majesty, Heinrich Schultheis, Viscountess Folke- stone, and Mrs. John Laing, to show how successful he v:as. Of these, Her Majesty and Mrs. John Laing have been awarded a gold medal by the National Rose S...ociety. Taking it all in all, the latter Rose is probably the most useful exhibition flower we have; it is good both early and late, while its blossoms are always well formed and have a very sweet perfume. Mr. Bennett at his death left behind many seedling plants ; these were purchased by various growers, and one or other of them now and then puts forward a claim to distinction. The same line of raising pedigree Roses was taken up by an Irish firm, Messrs. Alexander Dickson and Sons, of Newtownards, and their success has been of a very marked character, they having obtained many gold medals for new seedling Roses.
