Varieties for Dacoration and Exhibition. 67 



the dates at which the varieties were sent out, as these 

 are always interesting to growers : 



Hybrid Perpetuals. 



ABEL CARRIERS (Eugene Verdier, 1875). Fine, dark maroon, imbri- 

 cated ; wood very thorny ; rather inclined to mildew. 



A. K. WILLIAMS (J. Schwartz, 1877). Bright carmine-red; a good 

 autumnal bloomer. One of the most beautifully shaped Roses 

 we have ; perfectly imbricated. Does not appear to like 

 removal, so when it is possible it should be budded where it 

 is to remain. 



ALFRED COLOMB (Lacharme, 1865). Bright red, globular. One of 

 those Roses which cannot be described as very vigorous, but it 

 cannot be dispensed with ; sometimes it is hardly distinguish- 

 able from MARIE BAUMANN. Very fragrant. 



BARONESS ROTHSCHILD (Fernet, 1867). Light pink in colour; good 

 cup-shaped ; flowers freely in autumn, but is unfortunately 

 scentless ; cannot be done without. 



BEAUTY OF WALTHAM (W. Paul and Son, 1862). Bright rosy-crim- 

 son, imbricated, very fragrant. An instance of how long a 

 good Rose will continue in favour. 



BEN CANT (B. R. Cant and Sons, 1902). Deep crimson, with 

 slightly darker flushes in the centre; flower large and of good 

 shape ; very sweetly scented ; an abundant bloomer. Needs a 

 good deal of thinning. 



CAMILLE BERNARDIN (Gautreau, 1865). Light crimson, paler on the 

 edges, fragrant ; a Rose that can always be depended upon, 

 but shoots should be tied, on account of the weighty flowers. 



CAPTAIN HAYWARD (Bennett, 1893). Brilliant crimson, large, and 

 fragrant, with well-formed long petals ; needs to be well done 

 if to give of its best. Very free-flowering, somewhat inclined 

 to be thin. 



CHARLES LEFEBVRE (Lacharme, 1861). Identical with MARGUERITE 

 BRASSAC and PAUL JAMAIN; it is a magnificent Rose, and can 

 always be depended upon by the exhibitor. 



CLIO (Paul and Son, 1894). Flesh pink, with deeper centre; a 

 vigorous and good all-round Rose. 



COMTE DE RAIMBAUD (Roland, 1868). Dark carmine-red, large and 

 full ; of fine form. 



COUNTESS OF OXFORD (Guillot pere, 1869). Carmine-red, large and 

 full ; vigorous ; smooth wood ; fine foliage, and a reliable Rose 

 when well treated. 



CROWN PRINCE (W. Paul and Son, 1880). Deep crimson, with a 

 purple shade ; vigorous, and very free-flowering. 



DR. ANDRY (E. Verdier, 1864). Bright red, large, of perfect form; 

 some of the best Roses we have seen exhibited were of this 

 variety. Very fragrant.
