66 PAESONS ON THE KOSE. 



it produces an abundance of very double creamy-white 

 flowers, shaped like a double ranunculus. 



Melanie de Montjoie* — A variety of much beauty. Its 

 abundant and glossy dark-green foliage contrasts beauti- 

 fully with its large, pure white flowers. 



Myrianthcs. — One of the best of this class. Its flow-

 Bartram garden of Pliiladelpliia, a fine old plant which 

 had covered the whole side of the house, and presented a 

 beautiful appearance. Buist states it to be this variety. 



Madame d'Arblay is a truly gigantic hybrid climber, 

 perfectly hardy, and with strong. Bourbon-like foliage. It 

 blooms in large clusters of pure white flowers, and is a 

 truly excellent variety. 



Itlenonx* — This variety has crimson flowers, a color 

 wbich is not common among climbing roses.
