338 THE FLOEAL WOELD AND GAEDEN GUIDE. 



large, yery full, well made ; rosy flesh, lightly shaded with salmon; 

 blooms continuously. 



Velours Pourjyre (Eugene A^'erdier). — Habit vigorous ; flowers 

 large, full ; bright velvety crimson, sufil"used with deep brown, scarlet, 

 and violet. 



TlUe de Lyon (Ducher). — Habit very vigorous; flowers very 

 large, full, globular ; deep rose. 



MICEOPHTLLA. 



Tremier Essai (B. Geschwind). — Habit very vigorous; flowers 

 medium, full, petals folded at the tips ; colour flesh white, centre red 

 carmine, bright, passing to very fresh rose. 



Beside the above, there are in M. E. Verdier's list : — 



JBerfJie CJtanu (H. P. Eontaine, senior). — Vigorous; bright car- 

 mine rose. 



Euryantlie (Peters). — Eed, shaded black, changing to blue. I 

 fear he must have had my " blue rose " in his mind, when be wrote 

 that description. 



Gloire de Thelwitz (Peters). — Scarlet and lake. Should be a 

 fine colour. This name is new as a raiser. 



Granger has Adrian Marx, raised by M. Camille Beruardin, and 

 propagated by himself. 



Verschaftelt also advertises Isahelle Spnint. Surely the genius 

 of incongruity must have presided over the conception of this name — • 

 the mellifluous and romantic Isabelle in conjunction with Sprunt ! 

 Erom a coloured lithograph of this introduction it would appear to 

 be a tea or noisette of the pale yellow section ; not so full as it 

 might be, and unlikely to take rank with Marechal Niel. Mar- 

 gottin does not appear to have entered the field, at least no list has 

 come yet to hand. 



With a view to make this paper as valuable as possible, here 

 follows a piece of information not commonly to be had- — the selections 

 of the best kinds out of the above list by M. C. Verdier and MM.
