every part of the United States. FloraUe, pale rosy 

 blush, very perfect form, blooming in clusters, very 

 profusely. Fragoleita, or Roi des Beiges, very large 

 pale rose, full and perfect, grows freely; it is also 

 known in some collections as Xapoleon. Gigantesque^ 

 for size of flower, deserves its name ; but deficiency 

 in form detracts from that merit; yet its pale fleshy 

 coloured flowers are very showy. Goubault is a large 

 rosy blush inclining to yellow in the centre ; very 

 double, distinct and fragrant; it grows freely, and 

 will occasionally produce seed, from which fine varie- 

 ties will no doubt be obtained. Hamon is a delightful 

 rose, with large flowers changing from blush to deep 

 rose colour, a profuse bloomer, and appears to succeed 

 best when budded upon a stronger growing variety. 

 Hardy, or Gloire de Hardy, is a pretty variety, with 

 pale pink flowers quite double, though not so large as 

 the generality of Tea Koses. Hymenee is a profuse 

 creamy white, perfectlj^ double, growing freely in any 

 situation, and quite hardy in this vicinity. Hippolyte 

 is another of the same character, but has more of the 

 yellow in it, and more fragrant. Josephine Malton 

 is an elegant rose, of first rate character ; the flowers 

 are large, retaining a cup shape to the last, of a 

 creamy white colour ; the plant is strong growing, 

 and apparently very hardy. Julie Mansais generally 

 approaches a pure white, though we have seen it
