228 THE FLORAL WORLD AND GARDEN GUIDE. 



but we know nothing of its history. It was shown by Mr. Cant at 

 the Crystal Palace ; it is a good rose. 



Madame Noman. — If this is not the best rose sent out last 

 autumn, it will be hard work to find a flower to place before it. 

 Yery strange to say, it reminds us of the pretty Maiden's Blush, 

 and it may be fairly described as a sublime edition of that favourite 

 of the cuttage garden. 



Miss Annie Wood. — A large imbricated flower, of a fine clear 

 red ; very distinct indeed. 



Madame Bival. — Large, full, satiny rose ; pleasing, but question- 

 able if first-rate. 



Horace Vernet. — Large and full and fine, heavy crimson with 

 purple shades ; likely to be thin on poor soils and in hot seasons. 



TJiorin. — Yery rich rose-colour ; a bouncing bonny rose. 



Charles Verdier. — Large and commanding, and the right sort in 

 colour to take a good place, being light silky rose. If you pay a guinea 

 for a plant of Charles A'^erdier, you will have value for your money. 



Mrs. G. Faul. — Another of the charming rose-coloured roses, 

 whif'h, as a rule, are the best-formed of all. This is large and round, 

 with beautiful arrangement of petals, colour shaded rose. 



Gloire de Montplaisir. — A good red rose, but many old ones like 

 it, and doubtless as good. 



Madame Marie Cirodde. — A grand rose of the desirable rose- 

 colour, and quite equal in form to the best of the class ; it is imbri- 

 cated ; large, stout petals ; very fine. 



Paul Verdier. — Not a good rose to cut, being small ; must be 

 ?een on the tree, and then proves to be A 1 for the garden. Colour 

 fresh pinkish rose. 



Madame Margottin. — A gem of gems among the teas, when you 

 catch it right ; and, like Boule d'Or, Canary, and a pretty little 

 group appreciated by those who really understand roses, and by 

 none el-e, so we do not recommend it to beginners. 



Madame Pulliat. — A nice globular flower, of a deep rose colour. 

 It may prove to be good, but at present doubtful. 



Comtesse de Turenne. — One of E. Yerdier's best ; the flowers are 

 large and imbricated ; colour pale pinky flesh, brightening to rosy pink 

 in the centre ; a glorious garden rose. 



Madame Grondier. — Globular and neat, rose tingled with salmon. 



Faul Verdier. — A very neatly formed globular flower, of a bright 

 carmine colour. 



Madeline Nonin. — A pretty rosy flower, good perhaps. 



Monsieur Fartado. — A glorious tea rose, of a clear sulphur colour; 

 buy il if you have six other teas only. 



Felix Genera. — A good rose of its class, in which there are none 

 perfVct. Large, tolerably good shape, colour violet-rose. Blooms 

 freely ; a good garden rose. 



Monsieur Fiaisangon. — Medium size, globular, scarcely full 

 enough, colour deep carmine, 



7 ille de Lyon. — A middling rosy flower, 



Marie Baumann. — A noble recurved flower, of a dazzling light 

 -p.rimson colour ; splendid. !S. H.
