ROSES THAT BLOOM IN JUNE. 25 



Bartram Garden, near this city, about the end of

 blush colour, and tolerably double ; a profuse 

 bloomer, and seeds freely. It does well as a pillar

 covering walls or arbours. Astrolabe, Elegans, 

 Hybrida, and some others of this class are not

 for Rosa Sempervirens will suit these. They are all 

 fragrant, and a rosary cannot be complete without 

 them. To grow them in perfection they require
