182 THE ROSE. 
PRINCE CAMILLE TyPE.—In 1861 E. Verdier 
sent out Prince Camille de Rohan. In this 
type we find the darkest, most velvety roses. 
It would seem as thougn this family must 
have been produced by the blending of Gen- 
eral Jacqueminot with Giant of Battles. 
The varieties are of vigorous or free 
growth; the wood is somewhat darker, the 
spines less numerous, the habit more spread- 
ing than in those of the Jacqueminot type. 
None of them bloom freely in the autumn, 
but in the spring their wondrous rich crimson 
shades gain more admirers than any others. 
Baron Chaurand, Baron de Bonstetten, La 
Rosiére, Monsieur Boncenne, are prominent 
members of thisfamily. Abel Carriére, Jean 
Liabaud, Jean Soupert, and Souvenir d’Au- 
guste Riviére can also be classed with these ; 
though they show more of the Giant of Bat- 
tles character than the former, and might 
therefore not inappropriately be placed by 
themselves. 
ALFRED CoLomsB TypEe.—Alfred Colomb, 
sent out in 1865, has a somewhat similar habit 
of growth to General Jacqueminot, but the 
thorns are much less numerous, and with a 
more yellow hue; the flowers are also fuller 
and more globular, and blossom much more 
abundantly. A. K, Williams, Madame Al-
