as distinctly a polyantha as we might wish, is a great addition 

 to our lists, and is destined to become as great a favorite as 

 Hermosa, if only it proves as hardy as that sturdy sort. 



" The best new teas of the year are these : 



''Duchess Marie Salviata. \Soupert 6^ Netting.^ A strong, 

 vigorous grower ; flower large and double from long pointed 

 buds. Color a fine chrome orange, with shadings of rosy flesh, 

 the center pure saffron ; sweet violet scented ; the raisers claim 

 this to be a good forcer. It is a cross between Mme. Lambard 

 and M. Kuppenheim. 



' 'Jeanne Guillaumez. {^Bonnaire. ) A very vigorous grower ; 

 flower large and double, of good form, with beautiful long 

 buds. Color clear red, touched with salmon ; center coppery 

 red, with pale silvery shadings. Received first-class certifi- 

 cate from the Lyons Horticultural Society. 



"Gustave Nadaud. {Soupert d^ Nottiiig.^ A free branch- 

 ing grower, with large double flowers ; the outside petals are 

 large and rounded, giving it an exquisite cup shape. Color 

 vermilion, with clear touches of carmine lake and soft pink 

 center. (yMvie. Lambard and Safrano. ) 



"J. B. Varrone. {Gnillot.) A fine grower; flower large 

 and very double, with high center opening from long buds. 

 Color soft china rose, changing to a bright deep carmine of even 

 shading ; an extra good rose, and very sweet ; extremely 

 variable in color, ranging all the way from soft flesh pink to 

 deep china rose, with varying conditions of temperature. 



"Mme. Marthe du Bourg. {Bernaix.') One of the finest 

 of the new roses. The habit and foliage are beautiful, denot- 

 ing a ready grower ; the flower is large, perfectly double, and 

 of beautiful form ; the outer petals recurve at the edges, 

 showing a beautiful pointed center ; the color is creamy 

 white, touched with carmine or pale heliotrope on the edges; 

 texture heavy. A very promising rose. 



"The best hybrid teas are as follows :

 grower ; flower large and double, and of the centifolia form.
