PUBLICATIONS ON THE ROSE. 201 
5007 varieties of roses. The colored illustra- 
tions are very beautiful, on the whole, but 
not all true to nature. In the names of 
varieties the author often mixes the English, 
French, and German languages very gro- 
tesquely. There are many typographical 
and other errors, but itis a book worth hav- 
ing if one is willing to pay the price, which 
is of necessity high. 
American publications on the rose are: 
“The Book of Roses,” by Francis Parkman; 
“Parsons on the Rose,” by Samuel B. Par- 
sons; “ Prince’s Manual of Roses,” by W.R. 
Prince, and “The Rose Manual,” by Robert 
Buist. I believe the last two named are out 
of print. 
Of magazines and papers, which frequently 
contain articles on the rose that are of in- 
terest, there are many. Those which give 
the most attention to the subject are: 
Garden and Forest, conducted by Profes- 
sor C. S. Sargent, New York. Zhe Ameri- 
can Florist, Chicago. American Gardening, 
New York. Zhe Country Gentleman, Albany, 
N. Y. Zhe Rural New Yorker, New York. 
The American Garden (monthly), New York. 
In England there are, Zhe Gardener’s Chroni- 
cle, Journal of Horticulture, The Garden, The 
Gardener's Magazine, Gardening Jlllustrated,
