242 GARDEN CLASSIFICATION. 



Augustine Mouchelet is a beautiful and desirable variety. 

 Its color is a rich velvety crimson, slightly shaded, and much re- 

 sembling La Reine. As a forcing rose it is not surpassed by any 

 in this class, and, under our glass, has scarcely been equaled the 

 past two seasons. It has all the fragrance of the Damask Rose, 

 opens Vvell, and blooms abundantly. In the open ground, how- 

 ever, it is not equal to some other varieties. 



Baronne Prevost is one of the very bestjof this class, bloom- 

 ing freely in autumn, and producing very fragrant flowers, of a 

 bright rose color. It is also of luxuriant growth, and large, rich 

 foliage. 



Bernard is a desirable rose, with small but very fragrant 

 flovv^ers. Tlj'jy are well formed and double, and their color a 

 light carmine tinted with salmon. 



Blanche Vibert is one of the new white roses received this 

 season from Vibert. It is of the same class with Amanda Pate- 

 notte, and one of the few white Remontants. It is of medium 

 size and double, slightly inclines to yellow when it first opens, 

 and blooms profusely throughout the season. It was considered 

 so great an acquisition in Paris, that our correspondent there in- 

 voiced it to us last spring at thirty-two francs. 



Comte d'Eu is a fine rose, opening and blooming freely. lis 

 color is a bright carmine, inclining to scarlet, its foliage and 

 flower somewhat resembling those of Gloire de Rosamene, al- 

 though not possessinig the pillar habit of that luxuriant rose. 

 Its form is cupped. 



Comte de Paris is one of the best, growing and bloomisig 

 freely throughout the summer. It is double and globular, and 

 possesses a very agreeable tea scent. Its color is light crimson 

 with a shade of lilac. 



Comtesse Duchatel is a cupped and large flower, \ cry 

 double, fragrant and perfect. Its color is a bright rose. 



Crimson Perpetual is an old rose, and one of the very best. 

 Its form is cupped ; its color is rich crimson ; and its fragrance 

 delightful. A small bed of these will furnish an abundance of 

 flowers through the whole season. It very rarely will flourish on
