Add to the preceding list, the two Ameri- 

 can climbing Roses, Baltimore Belle and 

 Queen of the Prairies, a white and a fine 

 pink, and the amateur will have a collection 

 of 224 as good as any one could wish. It 

 is not our purpose to ss.y, that in our lists 

 every Rose is unquestionably the best ; but 

 we do assert, that it would be difficult to 

 make a better choice, when it is considered 

 that but o?ie-tenth the number enumerated 

 in most catalogues is here retained. We 

 have undoubtedly omitted many fine varie- 

 ties, having done so because there is little 

 use in having a great many so much alike 

 as almost to defy the closest observation. 

 For the mere name of the thing, more than 

 fifteen hundred varieties may be cultivated, 

 but time and experience will show that it 

 is utterly useless. Among the so called 

 ?iew Roses j'early introduced, there are cer- 

 tainly a few very good ; most of them are, 

 however, no better than older ones, and 

 many not half so fine as they are repre- 

 sented. 



In our No. 2, the subject of Roses will 

 be continued. Wm. W. Valk, m. d.
