Calcutta gardens, but never in a very vigorous condition, 

 nor bearing flowers to support the high reputation it once 

 had in Europe. Far superior kinds of its class have quite 

 supplanted it now. Mr. New, of the Government Gardens 

 at Bangalore, pointed it out to me budded upon the Bussora 

 Kose much to its benefit, as he considered. It is not by any 

 means difficult of propagation by cuttings. 



2. LORD KAGLAN. Said to surpass even the last in the 

 beauty and dazzling brilliancy of its flowers introduced by me ; 

 produced only poor valueless flowers. 



3. LEONE VERGE R. A small compact bush, bearing a pro- 

 fusion of small, beautiful, cherry-coloured flowers ; a delightful 

 plant, nearly constantly in bloom. 



4. MARQUISA BOCCELLA. A plant of small growth, remark- 

 able for its very distinct and rich green foliage; flowers of 

 moderate size, pale-pink, very double, and imbricated, produced 

 in the Hot and Kain seasons : not very easy of propagation by 

 cuttings. 



5. CAROLINE DE SANSAL. A beautiful pale rose-coloured 

 flower, opening with its petals compact and crowded much in 

 the manner of Souvenir de la Malmaison : established in this 

 country, where it succeeds tolerably well. 



6. GENERAL JACQUEMINOT. A large, not very double, but 

 most superbly brilliant Kose of a dazzling red : well established 

 in this country, where it thrives and blossoms well, and is easily 

 propagated ; among the finest we now possess. It is so profuse 

 in its blooming that in England plants of it are cultivated by 

 thousands for cut flowers for the market. Its bright colour, 

 however, is rather fugitive. 



7. PRINCESS ADELAIDE. (Not to be confounded with the old 

 Tea Kose, to which this name is alone given in the English 

 lists.) Flowers deep blush, large globular, rather single when 

 full-blown, but exceedingly beautiful when half open ; a long- 

 established favourite ; blossoms well only upon plants three or 

 four years old. 



8. ENFANT DE MONT CARMEL. Flowers of moderate size, 

 of rich deep crimson, with small compact and crowded petals ; 

 of a fine peculiar fragrance. Thrives, but not vigorously, here. 



9. Due DE NEMOURS. An old Kose in the Agri-Horticultural 

 Society's Garden ; flowers crimson, of large, full, globular form.
