20 THE ROSE GARDEN. 



which partake more intimately of the nature of the French Rose ; and these form 

 the greater part of the group usually termed Hybrid Provence. But there are 

 still others resembling more closely the Provence, and these are what we mean 

 by hybrids. 



Those more closely allied to the Hybrid Chinese will be referrred to that group, 

 and their hybridous nature will be there noticed. Those nearly allied to the 

 French Rose will be retained in a group by themselves, under the name of 

 " Hybrid French," instead of Provence or Hybrid Provence. 



Though decidedly averse to changing the names of the groups, we think it neces- 

 sary in this case, and that for two reasons. In the first place, there are two 

 groups, possessed of distinct characters, known under the name of " Provence"; 

 and, in the next place, the varieties of the one, which we intend to call " Hybrid 

 French," more closely resemble the French Rose than the Provence. By this 

 stroke, then, we do away with the confusion arising from two distinct groups, 

 bearing the same name ; and favour our design of bringing more closely together 

 varieties possessed of like characters and habits.
