1 82 THE ROSE. 



PRINCE CAMILLE TYPE. In 1861 E. Verdier 

 sent out Prince Camille de Rohan. In this 

 type we find the darkest, most velvety roses. 

 It would seem as though this family must 

 have been produced by the blending of Gen- 

 eral Jacqueminot with Giant of Battles. 

 The varieties are of vigorous or free 

 growth ; the wood is somewhat darker, the 

 spines less numerous, the habit more spread- 

 ing than in those of the Jacqueminot type. 

 None of them bloom freely in the autumn, 

 but in the spring their wondrous rich crimson 

 shades gain more admirers than any others. 

 Baron Chaurand, Baron de Bonstetten, La 

 Rosiere, Monsieur Boncenne, are prominent 

 members of this family. Abel Carriere, Jean 

 Liabaud, Jean Soupert, and Souvenir d'Au- 

 guste Riviere can also be classed with these ; 

 though they show more of the Giant of Bat- 

 tles character than the former, and might 

 therefore not inappropriately be placed by 

 themselves. 



ALFRED COLOMB TYPE. Alfred Colomb, 

 sent out in 1865, has a somewhat similar habit 

 of growth to General Jacqueminot, but the 

 thorns are much less numerous, and with a 

 more yellow hue ; the flowers are also fuller 

 and more globular, and blossom much more 

 abundantly. A, K, Williams, Madame Al-
