 erect ; flower large, full, well-formed, cupped very regularly from 

 the commencement of blooming ; petals strong, well rounded ; fine 

 bright salmon rose, colour less common than its kind. First prize 

 Universal Exhibition, 1867. A variety the most vigorous in its 

 class. 



Guillot Pere, another first-rate raiser, sends out but one new 

 rose, a hybrid perpetual, this season. 



Victor le Bihan. — Very vigorous, upright branches, fine foliage, 

 strong footstalks ; flowers very large, very full, opening well ; fine 

 bright rosy carmine, magnificent colour. IM. Guillot further states 

 that the variety has excited the admiration of" all who have visited 

 his establishment, and as he has hitherto proved trustworthy, his 

 description deserves belief 



Guillot Eils, or junior, holds a high rank among reliable raisers 

 of novel roses, especially in the favourite class of teas, three of 

 which are his contribution for this year — as hereafter named. 



Madame Celina Noirey. — Very vigorous ; flowers very large, 

 very full, opening well; fine habit; reverse of petals purple red, 

 interior delicate shaded rose. A very fine variety. 



Madame Adrienne Christophe. — Very vigorous ; flowers large or 

 medium, full ; coppery-yellow apricot, strongly shaded rosy peach ; 

 sometimes fine deep yellow. From this variation of colour, the 

 variety produces a magnificent effect. [We do not fvgree with this, 

 M. Guillot ; such a style of colouring is against the " properties."] 



Mademoiselle Marie Sisley. — Vigorous; large or medium; very 

 full, globular, good habit ; deep yellowish white, deeply bordered 

 with bright rose. Superb. 



NOISETTE. 



Margarita. — Vigorous upright stems; flowers medium, very full 

 and well formed, good carriage, deep brilliant yellow, quite a new 

 tint, heavily bordered with pure white shading to rose, and pro- 

 ducing a magnificent effect. Superb variety.
