ROSES. 419 



HOSES. 



Of new tender Roses the name is legion, and all are 

 so good it is difficult to make a selection. 



When, a few years since we first saw Marechal Niel, we 

 thought no mor.e splendid rose could be raised, and yet, 

 to-day, both Perle de Lyon and Belle Lyonnaise are its 

 superior. 



We thought no finer or more beautifully-colored bud 

 than Bon Silene could be found, and yet Duchess of Edin- 

 burgh is superior in both these respects. 



In fact it is hard to tell what not to grow. We give a 

 few of the choicest kinds, not all new, but all indispensable 

 to a choice collection. 



Marechal Niel. Deep canary-yellow, very large, a 

 rampant grower; should be budded on some strong stock, 

 as thus it flowers more freely than on its own roots. 



Bon Silene. Rich pink or cherry. 



Bella. Pure white. 



Safrano. Orange-yellow, fine bud. 



Duchess of Edinburgh. Deep crimson. 



Devoniensis (climbing). Creamy white, large. 



Isabella Sprunt. Light-yellow. 



Madame Villermoz. White, salmon centre, large and full. 



Madame Falcot, Dark apricot,
