PUBLICATIONS ON THE ROSE. 201 



5007 varieties of roses. The colored illustra- 

 tions are very beautiful, on the whole, but 

 not all true to nature. In the names of 

 varieties the author often mixes the English, 

 French, and German languages very gro- 

 tesquely. There are many typographical 

 and other errors, but it is a book worth hav- 

 ing if one is willing to pay the price, which 

 is of necessity high. 



American publications on the rose are: 

 "The Book of Roses," by Francis Parkman; 

 " Parsons on the Rose," by Samuel B. Par- 

 sons; " Prince's Manual of Roses," by W. R. 

 Prince, and " The Rose Manual," by Robert 

 Buist. I believe the last two named are out 

 of print. 



Of magazines and papers, which frequently 

 contain articles on the rose that are of in- 

 terest, there are many. Those which give 

 the most attention to the subject are: 

 Garden and Forest, conducted by Profes- 

 sor C. S. Sargent, New York. The Ameri- 

 can Florist, Chicago. American Gardening, 

 New York. The Country Gentleman, Albany, 

 N. Y. The Rural New Yorker, New York. 

 The American Garden (monthly), New York. 

 In England there are, The Gardener's Chroni- 

 cle, Journal of Horticulture, The Garden, The 

 Gardener's Magazine, Gardening Illustrated,
