NOTES ON NEW OB RARE PLANTS. 197 



from May to November ; every little shoot is terminated with a bunch 

 of flowers. A neat and distinct flower. 



Coquette de Montmorency (dwarf hybrid Perpetual). — Cherry colour, 

 shaded with violet. This truly unique Rose has but one fault, namely, 

 that of blooming itself to death. From its first efforts of growth in 

 spring, to the latest in autumn, the shoots, on attaining a few inches in 

 length, commence blooming; and through the season it is clothed with 

 its distinct and pretty flowers. Extremely beautiful and distinct. 



General Merlin (dwarf hybrid Perpetual).— Bright rose colour, 

 very beautiful ; rather of dwarf growth, like the preceding ; from its 

 abundance of briglit flowers it contrasts nicely with many of the others. 

 Perfect and good. 



Leonie Verger (dwarf hybrid Perpetual). — Colour rosy-pink, bril- 

 liant, very beautiful, though rather delicate. A free flowerer. Very 

 distinct and fine. 



Pauline Bonaimrte (dwarf hybrid Perpetual). — Pure white, distinct. 

 This will be found very useful, affording a colour to contrast -with the 

 otiiers. Very pretty. 



Pompon (dwarf hybrid Perpetual). — Rosy-pink; small, but ex- 

 tremely pretty. This very beautiful little Rose should be in every 

 collection, however small ; it is of dwarf growth, blooming profusely 

 in clusters. Distinct and striking. 



Pompon de St, Radegonde (dwarf hybrid Perpetual). — Brilliant 

 purplish carmine, of rather stronger growtli than the preceding, and 

 flowers larger ; but, like it, quite unique and pretty. 



Psyche (dwarf hybrid Perpetual). — Briglit pink, neat and pretty, 

 blooming freely in clusters ; in growth a little freer than some of tlie 

 preceding. A charming variety, and will group well with the others. 

 Very beautiful. 



Pactolus, or La Pactole (tea-scented China). — Bright yellow, bloom- 

 ing in clusters, very freely ; will be found the best yellow to group in 

 this section. From its freenes.< of bloom, together with its habit of 

 growth, this fine Rose is indispensable. 



Nemesis (Noisette). — Very deep crimson, blooming abundantly in 

 clusters, through the summer and autumn, and will be found to group 

 in contrast admirably with the other varieties. Tliough classed as a 

 Noisette, it is very distinct from that section, and will be found more 

 at home with tiie little group I have attempted to collect together. A 

 distinct and good Rose. 



Alba (miniature China). — Pure white ; rather too delicate for out- 

 of-doors, but what ladies call a "tiny beauty" when grown in very 

 small pots. This, with the few following, are found in catalogues in 

 the class that are usually called miniature Ciiina. Very pretty. 



Blush (miniature China). — Blush ; though not so striking in colour 

 as some of the others, it is an extremely free flowerer, and grows 

 stronger than some of those classed as dwarf hybrid Perpetuals. Will 

 be found useful in bedding with the otiiers. Makes a good strong 

 edge. 



CHmson (miniature Cliina). — Brilliant crimson, clothed through 

 the season with its lovely little flowers. This is unquestionably the
