 fectly imbricated form, vigorous habit, producing several fine flowers on a branch.

 large and beautifully formed rose, making a vigorous and very efi'ective plant.

TEA. SCENTED. 



Bouton d' Or (Guillot fils), superb deep yellow, reverse of petals white, medium 

 sized double fl.owers, an excellent variety, with a fine stjde of growth. 



Isabella Sprunt (Verschaffelt), delicate yellow, lighter towards the edges of the 

 petals, good habit, and very free. 



Madame Bremont (Guillot fils), fine reddish purple, varying to deep purple, 

 large and double, vigorous habit and fine style of growth, very distinct. 



Madame Margottin (Guillot fils), fine deep citron yellow with rosy peach 

 centre, the edges of the petals white, flowers of good size, very full, and rather 

 globular ; this is a most distinct variety, of vigorous and pleasing liabit. 



Monsiettr Furtado (Laffay), bright sulphur yellow, medium size, very double, 

 and well formed, a hardy and vigorous grower. 



BOUEBON. 



(Eillet Flamand (Ogar), brilliant rose, delicately striped with pure white, a 

 medium sized compact and double flower, habit robust, quite a distinc: variety. 



We ought to obtain some valuable as well as new kinds out of 

 the above. For instance, a brilliant red Madame Domage would be 

 something uncommonly desirable, nor ought a seedling from that 

 beautiful but uncertain rose Auguste Mie, to be despised, par- 

 ticularly if superior in constitution. It is a feature worthy of 

 remark that there are more light coloured kinds tnan have appeared 

 for some years among the novelties for 1867 ; indicating a change 

 in breeding strains from the perpetual " Jacqueminot " blood. 

 Among the raisers G-uillot pere, the two Yerdiers, and Lacharme 

 are most likely to exhibit the best productions. Thorin, of the 

 latter, reads highly promising. Jules Margottin also figures as a 

 parent, its progeny ought never to be lost sight of; Victor Verdier 

 is, as it were, at present, on trial.
