FLORICULTURAL GLEANINGS. 



Rosa Blanca.— This is another beautiful variety, finely feathered, 

 with a deep rose. A splendid bloom of this variety took the first 

 prize at Felton this season, and was one of the finest feathered roses 

 that I have ever met with. 



Rose William ;— fine feather, heaviest round the top, pure bottom, 

 but rather long cup. 



Rose Carmuse ; — pure bottom, good cup, fine feather, and slight 



flame. 



Venda ; — a fine feathered clean rose. 



Arlette.— This is a very beautiful flower, very fine cup, pure 

 bottom, and splendid feather. A breeder of it broke in the collection 

 of Thomas Bromfield, Esq., of Belford, two years ago, and it ap- 

 peared to me to be one of the very finest in his large collection. 



FLAMED ROSES. 



Aglaia. — This is a very fine flower, clean in the cup, beautifully 

 feathered and flamed, and ought to be in every collection. 



Catalini. — This also is a fine pure bottom, and good flamed 

 flower. 



Cerise a Belle Forme. — This variety possesses an extra fine 

 cup, pure bottom, feathered, and slightly flamed. 



Cerise Triumphant; also very clean and fine, generally feathered, 

 and slightly flamed. 



Clark's Clio. — This is a very beautiful flower, having a heavy 

 cherry feather, fine flame, and clean bottom. It ought to be in the 

 possession of every competing amateur. 



Duchess of Clarence. — This flower, as we grow it here, is a 

 very beautiful flamed rose, fine cup, and clean bottom, but the 

 stamens are sometimes a little stained at the top. 



Grand Rose Imperial is a fine flamed rose. 



La Belle Nanette. — This is a splendid variety, clean in the cup, 

 and finely feathered and flamed, and in every respect beautiful. 



Lilas Rose. — This is grown very fine in the north, the cup being 

 fine and pure, with a heavy feather, and generally a slight flame. 



Madame Vestris. This is a magnificent flower, the cup when 

 grown strong getting to a large size. It has a beautiful heavy cherry 

 feather and flame, and is certainly one of the finest roses in cultiva-
