140 THE ROSE. 



7. Schwartz. A. K. Williams and Egeria are 



among the most beautiful roses, but lack a 

 good constitution. Mesdames Auguste Per- 

 rin and Oswald de Kerchove are new types, 

 valuable additions to the Hybrid Noisette 

 family. 



8. Wm. Paul & Son. Although this firm have 



sent out no roses of sensational beauty, they 

 have given some that have been useful in 

 their day. 



9. Laxton. Those of his raising and Charles 



Turner's are, so far, the most useful English 

 roses for our climate. 



10. Pernet. Baroness Rothschild and Soupert- 

 et-ISTotting are his distinctive sorts. 



11. Turner. A raiser with an active conscience. 



Would there were more ! 



12. Margottin. His roses have at least been 

 distinct. 



13. Liabaud. In the contest for supremacy has 

 brought out some darJc horses that have some 

 years won the race. 



14. Bennett. 



15. Moreau-Robert. 



16. Damaizin.
