8. ABRICOTE. Bears moderate-sized flowers with apricot- 

 coloured centre. 



9. SAFRANO. Called at Ootacamund, where it is exceedingly 

 common, the Copper Eose, from the young stems as well as the 

 dark-green leaves having much of a coppery tint ; produces 

 deep fawn-coloured flowers, beautiful only in the bud. 



10. COMTE DE PARIS. Bears large flesh-coloured flowers. 



11. ELISE SAUVAGE. Long known about Calcutta under the 

 name of " Odorata ; " produces large globular pendulous flowers, 

 creamy white outside and of a rich apricot-yellow within, with- 

 out fragrance ; one of the most lovely Koses known ; though 

 not able to bear severe pruning, it is apt to become crowded 

 with a quantity of short spur-like wood, which it will be 

 necessary to thin out ; requires well manuring, and in the Hot 

 season frequent watering, or it will not thrive and blossom 

 at all satisfactorily. Though many years in the country, it 

 is a difficult Kose to obtain at Calcutta, except at a very high 

 price ; I have, however, found no difficulty in propagating it 

 plentifully, more particularly as cuttings put down in the 

 Kams under any low bush will strike readily, as they will do 

 also in the Cold season; but in the latter case they require 

 frequent watering. 



12. LA SYLPHIDE. A beautiful Kose, of moderate size, much 

 like Abricote in colour : thrives well here. 



13. LA BOULE D'OR. Flowers small, of a beautiful golden 

 colour ; the plant loves a dry soil ; 



14. SOUVENIR DE DAVID. Flowers described as cherry colour, 

 very large and double. 



15. VICOMTESSE DE GAZES. Flowers orange-yellow, large 

 and very double ; one of the most beautiful. 



16. GREEN TEA. A dwarf Kose, common for many years in 

 Calcutta, with dark glaucous foliage ; produces beautiful small, 

 globular, pure-white, scentless flowers ; and buds in the Cold 

 season, which do not open. 



Beside the above, the Agri-Horticultural Society four years 

 ago announced some twelve others as obtainable from their 

 stock. The following, arranged according to their colours, com- 

 prise nearly all now in cultivation in England :
