resembling Souvenir de la, Malmaison ; this is as near as it comes to icJiite. The habit is 

 vigorous ; fohage large and luxuriant ; the best, no doubt, of its color. 



Caroline de Sausal resembles the preceding very much, and is nearly as good. 



Rolert Bio'ns^ described as "a climbing perpetual," has nothing remarkable in color, 

 being a bright carmine, with a shade of purple ; a vigorous grower ; will make a fine 

 pillar Rose. 



Coup de Hebe and Charles Duval are tAvo first-rate Hybrid Bourbon Roses ; both of a 

 deep pink ; large and full, like La Reine ; both are successful show varieties. 



Paul Bicant, another of the same class of a brilliant crimson, coming nearly up in color 

 to Geant des Battailles. 



Madam Lamoriciere — fleshy pink, and of the most perfect form. 



Baron Hallez — rosy crimson. 



Madam Trudeaux — flight crimson. 



Madam Fremion — rosy carmine. 



The three last approach one another in color, and ah are fine. 



Madam Pej)in^ Gen. Negrier.^ and Sydonie.^ are charming varieties of a rosy blush, very 

 delicate, and very sweet. The seven last named are Remontant, or " Hybrid Perpetual." 



Feast's King of the Prairie Rose. — Mr. Feast writes us that he has at length suc- 

 ceeded in obtaining a variety of the Prairie Rose, as fragrant as the old Damaslc Rose, 

 larger than the Queen., and of a bright peach color. This must be an acquisition, as 

 admirers of this useful family of Roses have always regretted the absence of fragrance. 

 Not long ago we sent some Prairie Roses to a very well known literary gentleman on the 

 Hudson, and he wrote us back he did not want them, as he would not have a Rose without 

 fragrance on his grounds. Mr. Feast sends us the following description of the "A7;!^;" 



"This is the third season of flowering. Sweet-scented, like the old ^amasZ^ Rose. The form 

 is cup-shape. Color bright jDeach, and darker toward the center. This is before it is fully open. 

 The bud is long-conical in shape, and very pretty — together with the first opening of the flower 

 it makes a beautiful appearance. As it opens it shows two or three small petals of a lighter 

 color than the outer ones; these being slightly curved back, gives to the Rose a globular shape 

 until fully expanded. There is a delicacy in the shading of the petals I have not seen in any of 

 the tribe. The size of the flower when fully expanded, is much larger than the Queen. The 

 clusters are large — from twenty to twenty-six in one head. Each flower has twenty-five perfect 

 ])etal3, with smaller ones in the center. The petals are thick and fleshy. The habit of the plant 

 is strong, and a free grower. Foliage large and dark green. Perfectly hardy. Flowers ten days 



before the Queen."

Raspberries. — The experience of the present season convinces ns that the Bed Aiihrerp^ 

 so extensively grown for market in Orange county, !N". Y., is ditferent from the true Bed 

 Antwerp. It is much more conical, the grains smaller and more compact, giving greater 

 firmness to the berries, and rendering them better adapted to market purposes. The canes 

 of the Orange county variety are more slender and more spiny, and the leaves arc not so 

 large or so heavy as those of the true variety. It is cultivated around Toronto, and we 

 have in some cases received it from England. The genuine Antioer]y is grown here by 

 many Dutch fomilies, who brought it directly from Holland. The Fastolff is a superb 

 fruit, the largest we have seen; a strong grower, hardy, and productive. Dr. BRI^^^LE's 



{/(?, we imderstand, promises to be valuable for market. If it be so in firmness, its ^ 

 will make it very popular.
