61 NEW AND RARE PLANTS. 



Bourbons are remarkable for tbeir robust habit and bold foliage. 

 Many of them form fine Pyramid Roses in pots : — Belle de St. Cyr, 

 pretty bright rose. Briseis, fine rosy blush. Camuzet Came, 

 delicate peach, very distinct. Coupe d'Amour, bright rose. Coupe 

 d'Hebe, beautiful deep pink. General Allard, full deep rose. La 

 Colombienne, lilac rose, satin-like. Lady Stuart, fine full blush. 

 Madeleine, pale flesh, edged with crimson. Marie de Nerroea, light 

 pink blush. Velours Episcopal, violet purple. Triomphe de 

 Guerian, large blush, rose centre. 



Noisette. — On account of blooming fine so late in the season, the 

 Noisettes form a very valuable class of Roses. The most of them 

 are better trained as climbers : in which way their large trusses of 

 bloom produce a very pleasing effect. Under this method of growth, 

 then, we shall class the most of them, but a very few may be retained 

 here: — Aimee Vibert, pure white. Comtesse de Tolozan, white, 

 sometimes flesh. La Yictorieuse, white, finely shaded with rose. 

 Le Pactole, fine yellow. Miss Glegg, beautiful pure white. Sol- 

 fatare, large sulphur. Vitellina, flesh centre, whitish yellow, 

 tender. 



(We shall give in a future number the other varieties Mr. Paul 

 recommends, but in the mean time, advise Rose fanciers to procure 

 the pamphlet..)
