68- EOSA INDICA, ETC. lApril 



Gros Charles, shaded rose, extremely large and fine. 



Hortensia, flesh color, very double, and an excellent rose. 



Indica, or common dailij, dark blush or rose color — it is the 

 prototj^pe of the family, and is a free-growing and 

 profuse blooming plant, and can withstand every va- 

 • riety of treatment. The flower is about three inches 

 in diameter, and in our descriptions, where the word 

 larfje is used, it signifies that the flower is larger than 

 the present variety, and very large means still larger, 

 say four inches; extremely large, between four and 

 five inches. We have even seen roses in favorable 

 soils and cloudy weather six inches in diameter, and 

 would not be alarmed to see a hybrid Rose twenty- 

 one inches in circumference. 



alba, icliite daily or sarmeteuse of some, pure white, 



perfectly double, free-growing, and profuse in flower- 

 ing ; it is much more tender than the former, but 

 does tolerably well when protected during winter.

 vorite. Thousands of this rose have been grown and 

 sold in Philadelphia within the^e five years.
