New Roses. 



most charming flowers, some of whom grow 

 annually fifty thousand seedlings, and from 

 these select only a few which they will send 

 out as worthy of special growth and merit. 

 From more than 300 new varieties imported 

 by us from introductions since 1870, it 

 would require too much space to name the 

 beauty and merits of most of them, but will 

 at present mention only a few that we have 

 grown and flowered successfully, and can 

 speak of their merits. The following Teas, 

 importations of 1873, promising well, are : 



Ma Capucine {Level), a beautiful apricot 

 yellow, free flowering, medium in size, and 

 color very distinct and new, and will cer- 

 tainly be an acquisition to bouquets. 



Le Nankin {Diicher), a charming rose, 

 large, full and well formed ; a rich, coppery 

 yellow. 



Henry Lecoq {Ducher), a perfect rosy 

 fawn color, fine size, with long petals, form- 

 ing a long and beautiful bud, and certainly 

 bids fair to be a favorite of bouquet-makers. 



Souvenir de Paul Neron [Level), fine sal- 

 mon yellow, edged with rose, large flower, 

 and free blooming. 



Madam Jules Margotten {Level), a very 

 delicate pink, tinged with yellow, free flow- 

 ering and beautiful form. 



Comte de Grevel {Level), a very light straw 

 color, very free flowering and very sweet. 



La Jonquille {Ducher), a small flower, the 

 deepest yellow yet introduced, fine in bud, 

 good for boquets. 



Marie Van Houtte {Ducher), white, slightly 

 tinted with yellow, petals edged with rose ; 

 an exquisite rose of free growth. 



Annette {Seaut), large, deep orange yel- 

 low, changing to white ; fine for bouquets. 



Bianqui {Ducher), a pure white, profuse 

 bloomer. 



Madam de Narbonne {Pradel), large flow- 

 ers, bright yellow, very pretty. 



Madame Camille {Guillol), a free bloom- 

 ing, delicate salmon pink, large and full, 

 and cupped flower. 



Jeanne D' Arc — Beautiful clear yellow, 

 abundant bloomer and fine form, exceedingly 

 prolific in blossoming. 



The following Teas, importations of 1871 

 and 1872, are of superior quality and vigor- 

 ous growth : 



Madam Trifle — a large double, salmon 

 yellow ; growth very vigorous. 



Madam Celina Noirey — rose color, large 

 and full flower, immense bud, free bloomer, 

 dark green foliage ; very vigorous. 



Madam Berrard — Beautiful clear rose 

 color, shaded delicate yellow, rapid grower 

 and good habit. 



Madam Ducher — -clear yellow, large and 

 full, and abundant bloomer. 



Coquette de Lyon — canary color, medium 

 in size, fine form and very beautiful. 



Madam Azelie Imbert — full and fine

Hortensia — large flower, with white petals 

 shaded to a beautiful rose color ; fine form. 



Those last named are robust and vigorous, 

 and well suited for forming beds on lawns 

 or gardens, requiring in our climate only 

 slight protection during the winter.

 Perpetuals, we have found the following de-
