REMARKS. 



Ci.oth ok Gold Rose. — It is a rich yellow, large and superb. It is not yet

Persian Yellow. — Is an Austrian Briar, the flowers full double, deep yellow, 

 growing and blooming freely. It is a very superb Rose. 



Both kinds deserve a place in every collection.

 that class, and the prizes were liberal. In the class of new flowers there were a 

 number of competitors, and it is a pity the importance of this class is not better

 season formed a very important feature in most of the stands, though, for some

 best class were honoured with the distinction. The judges, Messrs. Shepherd
