164 MISCELLANEOUS INTELLIGENCE. 



the varieties of Rosa Alba, Princesse de Lamballe. of the purest white ; Felieite, 

 pale flesh-colour; Pompon Blanc, blush, and La Seduisante, blush, with a rosy 

 centre, were all perfect and finely-shaped flowers. In Damask Roses, Pulclierie, 

 pure white ; Deesse Flore, La Fiancee, and, Madame de Maintenon, pale flesh- 

 coloured Roses; Arlinde, Bachelier, La Ville de Bruxelles, rose-colour; La 

 Joyeuse and Lady Fitzgerald, vivid rose-colour approaching to light crimson, 

 were all fine and distinct varieties. That fine White Damask Rose. Madamr. 

 Hardy, can seldom be shown to advantage, as it is so apt to come with a green 

 bud in the centre of the flower; in every stand of flowers this was the case. 

 Among the Perpetual Roses, Bernard, with its carmine flowers, was really beau- 

 tiful; Madame Laffay, of a bright rose-colour, very large and double ; Princesse 

 Helene, deep purplish-rose; De Neuilly, bright rose; Coquette de Montmo- 

 rency, bright crimson ; Fulgorie, purple-crimson ; Clementine Duval, bright 

 rose ; General Merlin, of nearly the same colour, were all finely-shaped double 

 Roses, of much beauty. The most striking Bourbon Roses were Emile Courtin, 

 bright rose, very large and double; Madame Nerard, pale blush; Celimene, light 

 rose ; Due d'Aumale, deep rose ; Bouquet de Flore, of nearly the same colour, 

 hut more vivid ; Le Grand Capitaine, scarlet, much like Gloire de Rosomene, 

 but more double. In the China Roses, that old variety, Triomphante, was very 

 fine, with its large, deep, rose-coloured flowers ; as were also Archduke Charles, 

 approaching to crimson ; Madame Bureau and Clara Sylvain, pure white (the 

 last the finest of the White China Roses) ; Mrs. Bosanquet, delicate blush ; 

 Augustine Hersent, bright rose; Fenelon (Desprez), deep rose ; Louis-Philippe 

 (d'Angers), fine red; Mavjolin, vivid crimson; Fabvier, scarlet. In the Tea 

 Roses': Goubault, rose-colour, very large ; Mensais and Triomphe du Luxem- 

 bourg, buff' rose, and remarkably large ; Caroline, fine bright rose ; Pauline 

 Plant ier, straw-colour ; Prince Helene, the same colour but rather deeper. 

 Among miscellaneous objects of exhibition there were cut Peonies from Mr. 

 Rivers, containing most of the best herbaceous sorts, and one named alba gran- 

 diflora, which bears monstrously large single white flowers, with an exceedingly 

 beautiful crown of stamens in the middle. It makes an admirable bed in the 

 flower-garden or pleasure-grounds. A rich crimson-flowered Cineraria, raised 

 from King, was from Mr. Standish, of Bagshot. A stand of Sweet Williams, 

 from Mr. Foggo, gardener to the Marquis of Abercorn, consisted of a great va- 

 riety in size and colour, and a few were really handsome. The award of medals 

 was commensurate with the abundance and variety of horticultural products thus 

 collected together, no fewer than ninety-eight having been assigned to successful 

 competitors, five of them being of the value often guineas each, and ten of seven 

 guineas. The following is the official statement : —
