Roses perfect in all points; large and double flowers, opening freely, fine healthy foliage, and a 

 vigorous hardy habit. Duchess of Norfolk will probably form a nice pillar Rose. Kow we 

 come to a host of new names applied to Roses, with shades of rose color and pink, such as 

 A/pJionse de Lamartine, Coloriel de Rowjemont, Madame Damage (both varieties of the race of 

 Baronuc Frevost), Ceres, Glorie de Parthenay, La Ville de St. Denis, Lady Milsom, Madame Hec- 

 tor Jacquin, a large and vigorous growing Rose. Madame Harriet Stowe, Aline Gilbon, Made- 

 moiselle Qicetel, Marie do Bourses, Scphora, Triomplie en BeaiUe, James Veitcli, Leon Flee, and sev- 

 eral others, all pretty enough — for what Rose is not? — but with very little distinction in their 

 characters. Gcrvaise Rouillard is a cheat ; it is the old Hybrid China, General Lamoricere. 

 i^otne few of the Roses among the Hybrid Perpetv.als introduced, in 1858, have bloomed this sea- 

 son in great perfection, and have proved themselves worthy of a place in every Rose garden. 

 Such are Prince Leon Hotschoubey, or simply Prince Leon, which is a shorter and better name 

 and Paul Dupuy, two charming Roses. Alexandrina Bachmeteff, with its brilliant carmine 

 flowers, is also a great acquisition, as is another Rose, with a tiresome Russian name Prince Chi- 

 petauzikoff, with brilliant deep flowers; Adame Paul is too doable and large to open well in our 

 climate. Souvenir de Leveson Gower is a magnificent crimson and first-rate Rose, and Tri&mphe 

 de Paris, very dark crimson, has also bloomed beautifully. Lady Stuart, of the same color, is 

 not equal to Madame Rivers. Victoria has not opened well, and seems tender, as it suffered 

 much by the winter. Archimede, Volta, and Ferdinand Deppe, are good rose-colored and pink 

 Roses, but not distinct enough. Among Bourbon Roses we have but one this season really 

 worthy of attention, viz., La Qxdntinie ; this is most superb, its deep crimson flowers are of the 

 most perfect shape ; but it has one fault, it is delicate in its habit, and requires the highest cul- 

 vation. Francois Henrica, also a new Rose of this class, is too much like Prince Albert and Surpasse 

 Cornice de Seine et Marnc. In Tea-scented Roses, we have one really fine and distinct, viz., 

 Gloire de Dijon; in its foliage, habit, and shape, and size of its flowers, it is almost an exact 

 resemblance of the Bourbon Rose, Souvenir de la Malmaison, and, like that fine Rose, it requires 

 di'y warm weather to open its flowers in perfection. Its perfume is Tea-like and powerful, and 

 in color it is quite unique, being tinted with fawn, salmon and rose, and difficult to describe. 

 Auguate Vaclter is also a new Tea Rose, perhaps too much like Noisette Ophirie in color and 

 habit to be highly esteemed. It is long since we have had any new and good Koisette Roses; 

 but this season a new variety called Augusta has been sent from America, which has bloomed 

 in great perfection ; it is of the race of Solfaterre, and resembles it closelj' in habit ; its flower."* 

 are, however, more double and globular, remarkably elegant in shape, and in the center of its 

 flower it is a little deeper in color. Another new ^Noisette Rose is Marie Charge, of the Ophirie 

 class ; its flowers are larger, more brilliant in color than that well-known Rose, and its habit 

 seems very vigorous and hardy. — T. Rivers, in Gardeners' Chronicle, 



M'Glashan's Transplantiijo Apparatus. — We read in the Moniteur as follows: — Some new 

 experiments with a machine for transplanting trees, invented by Mr. Stewart M'Glashan, took 

 place at St. Cloud, by the de-ire of his Majesty the Emperor, who wished the first trial to be 

 made in the Bois de Boulogne, in order that her Majesty the Empress might honor it with her 

 presence. M. Mathieu, head of the gardens of St. Cloud, directed these experiments, which 

 were as successful as tlie preceding one. It was tried upon a tree of about thirty feet high, 

 and more than twenty inches in circumference, which even a force of twenty horse power could 

 scarcely have raised from the ground, supposing the preliminary operations all complete, such 

 as removing the earth from around the roots, in order to facilitate the transplanting of the tree. 

 The tree in question was an Acacia, naturally firmly fixed in the soil, its straight roots off'ering 

 a great resis'.ance, which must liave subjected the machine to a very hard trial. Twenty min- 

 utes sufficed to uproot and replace the Acacia \n its former hole. The principle of Mr. Stewart 

 M'Glasiian's machine was so powerful that with an apparatus of reasonable dimensions it would 

 be possible to remove the largest trees, such for example as the Elms and ancient Chesnuts of 

 our public promenades. A third experiment was tried under the direction of M. Matuieu at 

 neuve I'Etang near St. Cloud, upon an Apple tree, which was very difficult to tran 

 e attempt proved perfectly successful. — Gardeners' Chronicle.
