IN THE FRONT YARD. 101 



popular sorts of the perpetuals, as I have seen them 

 in the Boston flower shows, and also in the West : 



American Beauty is of a large, globular, deep pink 

 form. It is especially adapted to the greenhouse, and 

 there are j)robably more of this kind raised under glass 

 than any other. 



Baroness Rotlischild is light pink, very symmetrical, 

 very distinct, with a character of its own, but, unfortu- 

 nately, with little or no fragrace. 



Genl Jacqueminot, abbreviated to Gen'l Jack. This 

 is one of the standard sorts, and very popular. It is 

 brilliant crimson, large and fine. It also forces well 

 in the greenhouse. 



Mahel Momson. This is white, with a blush tint, 

 which makes it exceedingly beautiful. 



Margaret Dickson is of fine form, white, with pale 

 flesh center, very fragrant, and fine every way. 



Marshall P. Wilder is another favorite. It is a 

 seedling from Gen'l Jack. It is vigorous in growth, 

 flowers large and hemispherical in form; color, cherry 

 carmine. 



Paul Neyron. This is probably the best of the 

 hybrids. It is the largest of all. The flowers are im- 

 mense, and of deep rose color. The wood is nearly 

 free from thorns, and it is the hardiest of all the per- 

 petual family. 



Ulrich Br Liner is brilliant cherry red, flowers of fine 

 form. It is very vigorous and hardy for its class. 



VicVs Caprice is a striking sport. It is large, pink, 

 striped with white and carmine.
