DESCRIPTION OF THE ROSE. 189 



its color is a rosy crimson. JULES MARGOTTIN has no 

 superior in its way : it is of a clear, rosy-crimson color, 

 and its half-opened buds are especially beautiful. TRI- 

 OMPHE DE L'LXPOSITION is of a deep crimson ; and SOUVE- 

 NIR DE LA HEINE D'ANGLETERRE, of a bright rose : both 

 are very vigorous and very effective. GENERAL JACQUE- 

 MINOT is of a fine crimson, and, though not perfectly 

 double, is, nevertheless, one of the most splendid of roses. 

 Its size, under good culture, is immense. It is a strong 

 grower and abundant bloomer, and glows like a firebrand 

 among the paler hues around it. It is one of the hardier 

 kinds, and is easily managed. Its offspring are innumer- 

 able. The greater part of the new roses of the last year 

 or two own it as a parent, and inherit some of its qualities. 

 Of its older progeny, TRIOMPHE DES BEAUX ARTS and the 

 ORLFLAMME DE ST. Louis may be mentioned with honor. 

 The last, especially, is a very brilliant rose. Among other 

 deep-colored roses are TRIOMPHE DE PARIS, GLOIRE DE 

 SANTENAY, and GENERAL WASHINGTON ; the last a seed- 

 ling from Triomphe de 1'Exposition. It is a new rose; 

 but there can be little doubt of its merit. 



Perhaps no rose among the Hybrid Perpetuals has been 

 so famous, and so much praised, as the GIANT OF BATTLES; 

 but we cannot fully echo the commendations bestowed
