 bloomer and tolerably hardy. Bougere has a 

 great many admirers ; the flowers are extremely 

 large, fully double, of a rosy-lilac color, always 

 cup-shaped, and even fading away in that form ;

 one of the strongest growers, and bears our winters 

 with very slight protection. Caroline is a beau- 

 tiful rose, of a bright rosy-pink color, with finely 

 formed flowers, always blooming perfect, and in 

 great profusion, even five or six in a cluster. It 

 is one of the hardiest, having every quality of a 

 first-rate rose. Buret ^ rosy red, cup-formed, fully 

 double, a free grower, distinct. Clara Sylvain is 

 a large and perfectly formed pure white rose, a 

 strong grower and an abundant bloomer ; one of 

 the best of the whites, giving entire satisfaction 

 wherever grown. Claudia is a beautiful creamy, 

 blush, perfect in every character, but a scarce 

 variety. Corate de Paris is greatly esteemed iu 

 France, and is yet very scarce in this country.
