W. Paul, 1876. Pink, suffused with car- 

 mine, large or very large, full, globular ; 

 foliage and wood light green, numerous, 

 dark spines. A fragrant, excellent va- 

 riety. 



Violet -rose, small size, single, not pro- 

 ductive ; this variety, since its intro- 

 duction from Italy, is more used for 

 a stock on which to bud choice sorts 

 than any other kind. It has dark, 

 brownish wood, and always seven leaf- 

 lets, sometimes nine ; there need be, 

 therefore, no difficulty in distinguish- 

 ing it from other kinds. 



Ducher, 1872, Yellowish - white, the 

 centre light yellow ; a fairly good 

 rose. 



A. Dickson & Sons, 1891. " Very large, 

 beautiful rosy-pink suffused with yellow 

 at base of petals, which are reflexed." 



Laxton, 1877. (Sent out by G. Paul.) 

 A seedling from Jules Margottin. 



Cherry-rose, fragrant 

 o n e s s W. Paul & Son, 1889. Large, full, cup- 



ped ; buds long and handsome, rich and 

 fulgent rose color, shaded with vivid 

 carmine, remarkable for its perpetual 

 habit. 



Margottin, 1863. Raised from Triomphe 

 de f Exposition. Reddish-crimson, shy 

 in the autumn. 



Pradel, 1864. Supposed to be a seedling 

 from Isabella Gray. Deep yellow, 

 very large, very full, globular form, 

 delightfully fragrant, the finest of all 

 yellow roses ; it is of delicate constitu- 

 tion, and requires very careful treat- 

 ment to produce satisfactory results. 

 It is only adapted for culture under 

 glass, and even then the inexperienced 

 would do better not to attempt its cul- 

 ture, but use in its stead Mile. Marie 

 Berton, Solfaterre, or,for non-climbers, 

 Perle desjardins. 



Madame Ducher, 1875. White, the cen- 

 tre shaded with flesh, large or very 

 large, full ; a fine sort.
