Blair. 



Pink, large, 

 teemed in Engla 



i sc , double- much es- 

 England as a Pillar rose. 

 We do not value it highly for this cli- 

 mate. 



Gargon, 1877. (Sent out by Margottin- 

 fils.) Belongs to Baronne Prdvost 

 type. Cherry-red, very large and full, 

 flat form ; will probably supersede Ma- 

 dame Boll. This is more productive, 

 has slimmer wood, smaller foliage, 

 stouter thorns than Madame Boll. The 

 latter sort has five leaflets only, this 

 has commonly seven ; remembering 

 this, it is easy to distinguish between 

 them. 



Hardy, 1839. Deep salmon-rose, illum- 

 ined with carmine, medium size, semi- 

 double, highly scented, very free flow- 

 ering. This is only desirable in the bud 

 state ; for many years it has been a 

 leading kind for forcing. The English 

 florists have not yet discovered its 

 value. 



1832. Bronzed pink, large and full, thick 

 petals; one of the hardiest. An old 

 variety, yet one of the most desirable. 



Crimson-purple, fades easily ; worthless. 



Lacharme, 1867. White, small, very full, 

 does not root from cuttings. 



Margottin, 1860. Deep yellow, large, 

 very full ; does not open well. 



Ducher, 1872. Yellow, with coppery cen- 

 tre, large, full. 



Guillot fils, 1866. Orange-yellow, medium 

 size. 



Laffay, 1830. Deep red, shaded with 

 violet. We now have almost the same 

 shade in Cheshunt Hybrid, a more 

 useful sort. 



J. N. May, 1885. A sport from Cathe- 

 rine Mermet. Pure white, large, fine 

 form, very fragrant, free bloomer, ad- 

 mirably adapted for forcing. 



Moore, 1892. A sport from Catherine 

 Mermet, described as being of a rich 

 clear pink, superior to the parent in
