the season, is tolerably hardy, and produces an abundance 

 of small, snow-white flowers, in fine clusters. 



America. — This has large and full flowers. Its color is 

 creamy yellow. 



Chromatclla* — A truly magnificent and splendid rose, 

 raised at Angers (France), from Lamarque. It is of ro- 

 bust habit, and its luxuriant shoots would make it a fine 

 pillar rose. Its leaves are large and glossy, with a beau-

Caroline de Marniesse. — One of the hardiest. Its

Jeanne d'Arc. — A pure white rose, with a very fine 

 form, and vigorous habit. 



Lamarque. — A w^ell-known and superb variety, whose 

 very vigorous growth adapts it well for a pillar, or even 

 for a climber, as in rich soils and favorable locations it 

 will make shoots of fifteen feet in a season. When bud- 

 ded on a strong stock, few roses can surpass its large 

 cupped and nearly white flowers, weighing down the
