RAISERS OF THE BEST ROSES. 139 



drous beauty. Horace Yernet, Eugenie 

 Yerdier, and Marie Guillot, are sorts scarcely 

 less fine. He furnishes about equal numbers 

 of Teas and Hybrid Kemontants. 

 3.- E. Yerdier. Has sent out no Teas except 

 Marechal E'iel, but many more hardy kinds 

 than any other grower. Most of those 

 which have any value are crimson sorts. 

 While he has issued far too many indiffer- 

 ent kinds, and so has injured his record, we 

 cannot but be grateful to him for the lovely 

 dark roses he has given us, like Prince 

 Camille, Mme. Yictor Yerdier, and Fisher 

 Holmes. 



4. A. Levet. F. Michel on and Perle des Jardins 



are his greatest gains. He is profuse in his 

 production of climbing Teas of the Dijon 

 type. 



5. Ducher. Strong in Teas. 



6. Paul & Son (George Paul). Has given us 



some dark kinds of wondrous beauty, but 

 they do not thrive in our extreme climate. 

 Perhaps some of his newer ones will be 

 better adapted to our requirements. We 

 miss very much in not being able to grow 

 well S. Reynolds Hole, etc.
