140 MASSACHUSETTS HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. 



Pride of Waltham (W. Paul, 1881). Very delicate flesh color 

 shaded to bright rose ; large and full ; reflexed ; forces well. 



Prince Camille de Rohan (E. Verdier, 1861). Synonyme, 

 La Rosi^re. Deep velvety crimson ; large, full, fine form ; one of 

 the best roses of its color ; forces well. 



Souvenir de Charles Montault (Moreau-Robert, 1863). Brilliant 

 red ; fine form, free bloomer, vigorous grower. 



Ulrich Brunner (Levet, 1881). Cherry crimson; of large size 

 and good form. An effective plant for the garden or for exhibi- 

 tion. A seedling from Paul N^ron, with very few thorns; its 

 foliage retains its vivid green tinge through the season ; a strong 

 grower, and seems to me the best acquisition for man}' years, es- 

 pecially as it also possesses the great desideratum of being mildew 

 proof. I have watched this variet}' with great interest since it 

 came out and believe we have here a rose that is likely in the 

 hands of skilful hybridizers to lead to a new and much desired 

 race. It proves one of the best forcing varieties that we have. 



2. Imbricated. 



Abel Carrih-e (E. Verdier, 1875). Crimson maroon with pur- 

 plish shading ; very durable ; a good grower, with very thorny 

 wood ; not as free as some of the other dark varieties.

 large, full, and of exquisite finish ; a free bloomer, early and late ; 

 a most beautiful variety but unfortunately not very hard}' in our
