uttered truth, her obligation were so enormous that a life-time's 

 devotion ■would scarce prove adequate to cancel. 



Our readers would doubtless be glad to know the names of such 

 varieties as are the most agreeable, and easily subjugated to pot 

 tillage. Anticipating the desire, we have prepared a list of those 

 likely to reward the cvdtivator with an abundance of roses and 

 perfume delicious, in exuberant installments. To commence with 

 the Teas, we give first position to Devoniensis ; (our engraving 

 is an accurate representation). It is a vigorous grower and 

 possesses a free blooming habit ; in color is a creamy white, with 

 a delicate shading of pink. Abricote is a fawn color, a robust 

 plant and extremely hardy. Adam, a bright rose color, very large, 

 an elegant variety. Gloire de Dijon, a magnificent fawn color 

 tinted with salmon ; the underside of the leaves are pink — quite 

 unique. Eliza Sauvage, light yellow, with a brilliant orange 

 centre. Safrano, fawn color ; the buds previous to expansion, are 

 bright pink. Souvenir d' un Ami, rose color, very large. Bougere, 

 a bronze rose, a free grower and distinct habit ; one of the best. 

 Madame Millermoz, a new variety, white shaded with salmon.

 exceedingly pretty and striking. Niphetos, pure white, very

 violet — an elegant flower. Edouard Desfesses, a most exuberant 

 bloomer, medium size, bright clear rose^ color. George Cuvier, 

 carmine, perfect shape and a good bloomer. La Florifere, an 

 abundant flower, deep pink. Madame Angelina, light fawn color, 

 compact habit — beautiful. Paul Joseph, bright purple — a splendid 

 dark rose. Souvenir d' un Frere, cherry color, quite distinct, 

 dwarf habit. Queen, a free bloomer, fawn color. These comprise 

 the cream of Bourbons. 



The Noisettes are not so well adapted to pot culture as the 

 Bourbons and Teas ; they are mostly climbers, and comparatively 

 shy bloomers, producing their flowers in clusters. The best of 

 which are Augusta, a new American seedling introduced by Thorp, 

 Smith & Hanchett, of Syi-acuse, N. Y. It is in general appear-
