100 nEMATtKS ON MR. GLENNy's ATTACK. 



Bacchus. — The only error in this variety is, that I have described 

 it as a second row, and you a third. You cavil at the name. Look 

 at the London catalogues, and you will find it put in plain English, 

 Bacchus, not Rose Baccu. It wins, as I have stated, in roses and 

 byblomens. 



Rose Blnnca. — If I have incorrectly described this, it is because 

 your neighbours have sent us the wrung variety ; but how does it 

 happen, when we get it elsewhere, it is the same as from the south ? 



Camuse de Croix is termed by you anything but good. Pray look 

 at the Gardener's Gazette of November 24, 1S3S ; and you recom- 

 mend it as one of the select splendid varieties. 



Carlo Dolci is described in two catalogues as a fourth row, in three 

 as a third. The cup of this flower, you say, is not good ; but allow 

 me to ask you if the form is not better some seasons than others. 



Ceres Royal, or, if I may take the liberty of correcting you, Cerise 

 Royale, is as I have stated. I do not know why you should state it 

 to be the same as Mantua Ducal, when one is clean and the other 

 foul. 



Madame Catalani gives you an opportunity of saying something 

 respecting Mr. Groom, in your usual style, that he most likely sends 

 a flamed rose out under that name a first-row flower. Now I have 

 had this variety from four respectable London growers, and also from 

 two in other country growers, and they are all alike in every respect; 

 and in Mr. Willmer's, Mr. Strong's, and Mr. Lawrence's, it is put 

 down as a first-row flower ; and in the catalogue that your friend (I 

 mean he from whom you derive all your information, or nearly so, 

 respecting the tulip) was agent for, as a second ; this is the only one 

 I ever saw in which it was put down as such. The proverb says, 

 " A captious man creates trouble for himself by troubling others." , 



Charbonnier scarcely noticed. 



Comte de Vergennes. — Termed by you not fit to exhibit. If so, 

 why did you recommend it in a list of good varieties, and not expensive 

 ones, in the Gardener's Gazette of November 10, 1838, in reply to 

 an inquiry on November 3rd ? 



Duchess of Clarence. — Instead of being a tolerably good second 

 row rose, is termed by you " a grand one." Paltry. 



Emily, although uoticed by you, cannot be said to be incorrectly 

 described.
