 tion in the building. Mr. B. Peed, gardener to Mrs. Tredwell, Lower Norwood, for 

 sixteen, the same for ten ; Mr. Ward, gardener to F. G. Wilkins, Esq., Ley ton, for

A SELECTION OF THIS SEASON'S ROSES. 



The new continental Roses described in the 

 " Garden Oracle" for 1868 amount in all to 70

 many, shall be purchased at a risk while the 

 prices are high. Having seen the greater part
