Cook, 1888. An American seedling from 

 Bon Silene ; delicate shade of pink, 

 changing to white under glass in winter, 

 vigorous and free-blooming. This vari- 

 ety has several good qualities, but the 

 shape of the bud detracts from its value 

 for forcing purposes. 



Laxton, 1869. (Sent out by Geo. Paul.) 

 Satiny rose, medium or large size, very 

 full. 



E. Verdier, 1866. Bright crimson with a 

 shade of vermilion ; a good autumnal 

 rose. 



Lepage. Flesh color, shaded with yellow. 



Gonod, 1880. White, tinged with pink, 

 reverse of petals shaded salmon. 



Ducher, 1866. Violet-red ; large, well- 

 shaped flowers, fragrant; woocf very 

 thorny. The color is very fleeting. 



Level, 1874. Deep rose, tinged with lilac, 

 not unlike Paul Neyron ; it is more 

 fragrant and more hardy, but in color 

 and size is below that sort. 



E. Verdier, 1879. Brownish-crimson. 



Jamain, 1871. Rose shaded with lilac, 

 well-formed buds, no perfume ; the 

 color is muddy. This sort would not 

 improperly be classed among the 

 Hybrid Teas, as it resembles them in 

 habit as well as in continuity of flower- 

 ing. 



Level, 1873. May be briefly described as 

 an inferior Gloire de Dijon, from which 

 sort it was raised. 



V. Verdier, 1848. Raised from Pierre de 

 St. Cyr. Rosy-pink; large, cupped 

 flowers. The most useful of all Bour- 

 bons for open air. 



Laffay. Rosy-crimson, variable in color, 

 sometimes deep marbled rose. 



Robert, 1856. Rosy-fawn, the cenlre 

 darker ; ill-formed flowers are frequent. 

 A good rose when in perfection, and of 

 excellent habit. 



Plantier, 1865. (Sent out by Damaizin.) 

 Violet rose, a poor color.
