Lauded by Dr. O'Donel Browne — namely, 

 Killarney and Dean Bole. A plani of the latter 

 here has no) succeeded in fully opening one 

 flower in three years. Killarney is not so had. 

 hut it is very susceptible t" the attacks of mildew 

 and is also very easily injured by rain. La 

 Prance here is seldom good, although, in such 

 a dry year as this, it does something to justify 

 its inclusion in the garden. Both Liberty and 

 Richmond are lovely (lowers, hut with me thej 

 are too weak growers to be of any use for bedding 

 White Maman Cochel and Souvenir tie S. A. 

 Prince are spoiled by a heavj dew. Despite 



their awful names ( ' manda nt Felix Faure 



and Commander .Miles Gravereaux are better 

 than ('apt. Hayward and Senateur Vaisse. 

 General MacArthur is, to my mind, a long «vaj 

 the hest of the red bedding Roses. 'The General 

 is not in the Dr.'s list, hut he may he; in good 

 company, for that hest of all bedding Roses. 

 Caroline Testout, is also absent.
