in the centre. It makes an elegant pillar rose. 

 The above sorts are so very double that they sel- 

 dom produce seed even by artificial aid. The 

 variety called Ele^ans^ which is generally grown 

 in Ohio and Kentucky, and, in some places called 

 Chilicothe Multiflora^ has been cultivated here for 

 many years; it is not so double, of a pink 

 color, seeds more freely, and, when hybridized by 

 the Perpetual and Chinese Eoses, will give, no 

 doubt, many varieties. Nevia^ white, very double, 

 a profuse bloomer and strong grower. The fol- 

 lowing varieties have been grown from seed by 

 Mr. Joshua Pierce, Xurseryman, TTashington City. 

 Pride of Washington., rosy violet, perfectly double. 

 Anne Maria., pink, large showy flower. Eva Co- 

 rimie^ very beautiful, dark pink, fragrant. Mrs. 

 Pierce^ large pale pink, in profuse clusters. Tri- 

 umphant, bright cherry pink, very distinct from 

 any of the others. Jane, pink, very perfect in 

 form, quite fragrant. King of the Prairies, raised 

 by S. Feast, said to be of a bright red color, and 

 three-fourths double, and of good growth; if so, 

 it will be a most estimable variety. There are 

 several others, but entirely too much assimilated 

 with those named to require auy notice; in fact, six 

 sorts will embrace all the colors and distinctive 

 characters of the family.
