XII MANNERS AND CUSTOMS 321 
Lamarque (Maréchal, 1830).—A Noisette which 
was highly prized fifty years ago, when varieties 
were few. Of strong climbing growth on a south 
wall, with bright small shiny foliage, not thoroughly 
evergreen. It produces with great freedom in the 
season large open flat blooms not fit for show, but 
the second crop on a wall is. scant. Very sweet 
scented, the fragrance being distinct and said to be
