DESCRIPTION, 
128. ri No. 2, vig.|/Blair. Pink, large, double; much es- 
H.C. teemed in England as a Pillar rose. 
We do not value it highly for this cli- 
mate. 
129. Boieldieu, vig. H. wei 1877. (Sent out by Margottin- 
R. fils.) Belongs to Baronne Prévost 
type. Cherry-red, very large and full, 
flat form; will probably supersede Ma- 
dame Boll, This is more productive, 
has slimmer wood, smaller foliage, 
stouter thorns than Madame Boll. The 
latter sort has five leaflets only, this 
has commonly seven; remembering 
this, it is easy to distinguish between 
them. 
130. Bon Siléne, free.|Hardy, 1839. Deep salmon-rose, illum- 
(Szléne.) T. ined with carmine, medium size, semi- 
double, highly scented, very free flow- 
ering. ‘Thisisonly desirable in the bud 
state; for many years it has been a 
leading kind for forcing. The English 
florists have not yet discovered its 
value. 
131. Bougére, free. 7.|/1832. Bronzed pink, large and full, thick 
petals; one of the hardiest. An old 
variety, yet one of the most desirable.

7-3 size. 
137. Brennus, vig. H.|Laffay, 1830. Deep red, shaded with 
Ch. violet. We now have almost the same

useful sort.

rine Mermet. Pure white, large, fine
