CTTLTUKE OF THE HOSE. 105 



Thousands of feet of green-house are devoted exclusively to 

 this variety. 



Solfaterre, A bright straw color, of growth similar to 

 Lamarque, but more shy of flowering, and on this account 

 grown only in limited numbers. 



Set ilia, Or climbing Hermosa, a climbing variety suit- 

 able for rafters ; pink. 



SafranOi Saffron yellow; abundant bloomer; of rich 

 Tea odor ; the one grown next to Lamarque in greatest 

 abundance. 



^ Isabella Spnmt, Exactly like Safrano, except in color, 

 which is a bright canary yellow. 



Agrippina, Rich deep crimson, with an occasional 

 splash of white through the centre. 



La Phenix, Deep shade of carmine ; most abundant 

 bloomer, with the rich fragrance of the damask or moss. 



^ La Pactole. Color, light canary shade, light enough 

 to be used as a white ; the most abundant bloomer of any 

 yet named ; Tea scented. We value this variety so highly, 

 both for summer and winter flowering, that we have grown 

 ten thousand plants of it alone this season. 



Hermosa, Another favorite variety, with rosy pink 

 flowers ; most prolific flowering variety. 



\ Pauline La bout e, Light blush or cream color, similar 

 in style of growth and shape of flower to La Pactole. 



y Bon Silene, A variety largely grown in the vicinity of 

 Boston ; of a deep salmon shade of pink, of rich tea fra- 

 grance, and of large size ; the bud often two inches long. 



Gloire de Dijon, Large, full ; buff, shaded with salmon. 



Marshal Niel. This we include from its distinctive col- 

 or of deep yellow and its large and handsome bud more 

 than for its productive qualities. It has not yet been tried 

 in sufficient quantity to test it, but from what w<* bave seen
