former is the name under which I first knew it. It 

 is a strong grower, with very large well-formed flowers 

 of a rich purple crimson, which are extremely double, 

 and always open well. 



Beau carmine, dark crimson, of a very distinct habit and 

 colour, is an excellent bloomer and finely formed. 



Belle Isidore is also a changeable rose ; it will open a light 

 pink colour, and before evening will be a rich crimson ; 

 is a regular and very double large rose, of strong 

 growth and easy culture, and when known will be 

 generally cultivated. 



Cels, or Bengal Cels, flesh colour, of the most perfect form, 

 extremely double and always opens perfect ; is a very 

 profuse bloomer, and of a strong growing habit; it has

 possesses considerable fragrance.

 prototype of the family, and is a free-growing and 

 profuse blooming plant, and can withstand every va-

 in diameter, and in our descriptions, where the word 

 large is used, it signifies that the flower is larger than 

 the present variety, and very large means still larger, 

 say four inches ; extremely large, between four and 

 five inches. We have even seen roses in favourable 

 soils and cloudy weather six inches in diameter, and 

 would not be alarmed to see a hybrid Rose twenty- 

 one inches in circumference.

 sold in Philadelphia within these five years.
