most beautiful. Laurette Messimy, Eugene Resal, and Comtesse Monthly 

 du Cayla^ all blend, and rise in the scale of colour to a deep Roses 

 orange red, while Aurora and Queen Mab^ both less vigorous 

 growers, are cream and shaded to apricot. Irene Watts is 

 nearly white with tints of salmon pink in the centre, and has 

 the form of a good Tea-rose with a long pointed bud. With 

 these could be grown the Polyanthas, Perle d*0r and Leonie 

 Lamescb^ belonging to the pink and copper tones, or Coltbri 

 and Eugenie Lamescb, white tinged with yellow.
