known varieties to prove of any value. This 
is notably the case with the French roses. 
In England, more care has been exercised 
in disseminating new kinds than in France, 
and in ordering English roses we can do so 
with some confidence that they will at least 
be distinct. Before enlarging our already 
cumbersome list of varieties, we think it of 
great importance to thoroughly sift the sorts 
now commonly grown, and where two or 
more varieties bear a strong resemblance to 
each other 77 the appearance of the flowers, to 
reject the inferior kinds. As roses which

Alfred Colomb and Wilhelm Koelle.

Boieldieu and Mme. Boll. 
Charles Lefebvre and Marguérite Brassac. 
Countess Cécile and William Griffith.
