Varieties. These are almost innumerable, particu- 

 larly in the Hybrid Perpetual class, which is so well 

 known and so justly popular with all cultivators, either 

 for exhibition purposes, culture in pots, or for garden 

 decoration, Ac. The beautiful varieties of Tea. Hybrid 

 Tea, and Noisette Roses are best adapted for culture 

 under glass, where their extremely delicate flowers are 

 unsurpassed ; if placed in the open air, the plants re- 

 quire a warm position, and protection in winter. The 

 other classes referred to beluw are mostly what are 

 known as Garden Roses, because they arc not generally 

 used for exhibition, but for climbing and for other deco- 

 rative garden purposes.

The subjoined selection of varieties from this classi 

 although somewhat long, contains only a portion of such 

 as are alike worthy of being included, but which have 

 necessarily to be omitted. They are nearly all of 

 vigorous-growing habit under liberal treatment, therefore 

 no reference is made on this point to each individually.
