66 THE ROSE. 



are to be chosen for their buds only; Mme. 

 Falcot, a seedling of Safrano, has fuller 

 flowers of nearly the same shade, but they 

 are not so freely produced and the habit of 

 the plant is more feeble. The following 

 are fine in both bud and flower: Bou- 

 gere, Catherine Mermet, Comtesse Riza du 

 Pare, Gerard Desbois, Homer, Jean Ducher, 

 Jean Fernet, Madame Bravy, Madame de 

 Vatry, Madame Lambard, Madame Welche, 

 Marie Ducher, Marie Van Houtte, Monsieur 

 Furtado, Niphetos (a poor grower), Perle des 

 Jardins, Rubens, Sombreuil, Souvenir d'un 

 Ami, Triomphe de Luxembourg. Among 

 these Niphetos is the only one of bad growth, 

 but it is so much the finest of the white Teas, 

 that it should find a place in every collection 

 of any size. Full descriptions of all these 

 sorts will be found elsewhere.
