From Mr, AVilliam Paul, AValtham Cross : — 



RosCf Brilliant^ a seedhng Bourbon, in the way of Sir /. Pa:don, but 

 brighter, and likely to prove a desirable autumnal climbing rose ; 

 Rohusia, a hybrid Bourbon, with rosy-crimson flowers, of some 

 promise; Mnltiflora, a hybrid perpetual, a free-blooming and A^ery 

 bright-looking bedding rose ; and Wee Pet, a hybrid China. Some of

 already adverted to, tho censors were unable to examine them 

 critically.
