large size, globular shape, full, and with some 

 fragrance. None of the progeny are quite equal 

 to the mother variety in freedom of bloom, 

 hardiness, or fragrance ; Marie Berton, a superb 

 pale yellow rose, ranks second. Next in order 

 come Belle Lyonnaise, Mme. Trifle, and Mme. 

 Berard, this last being too much like Gloire de 

 Dijon to be valuable in a small collection. The 

 new variety, Reine Marie Ilenriette, which 

 might be classed with these, has already been 

 mentioned and described among the Hybrid 

 Climbers. This sort, unhke'the Gloire de Dijon 

 race, will make strong plants grown from cut- 

 tings, rooting and growing as freely as General 

 Jacqueminot. Besides these varieties, we have 

 Climbing Devoniensis, a sport from old Devo- 

 niensis and identical with it in flower, but of 

 much stronger growth. Except Climbing De- 

 voniensis they are more than half-hardy, and will 

 do well out of doors in positions that are shel- 

 tered.
