knowledge, gained from past experience, that a 

 largo number of those sent out as new sorts are 

 not sufficiently distinct from known varieties to 

 prove of any value. This is notably the case 

 with the French roses. In England, more care 

 has been exercised in disseminating new kinds 

 than in France, and in ordering English roses we 

 can do so with some confidence that they will at 

 least be distinct. Before enlarging our already 

 cumbersome list of varieties, we think it of great 

 importance to thoroughly sift the sorts now com- 

 monly grown, and where two or more varieties 

 bear a strong resemblance to each other in the 

 appearance of the flowers, to reject the inferior 

 kinds. As roses which are synonymous, or too 

 iimch alike, as regards the form and color of the 

 flowers, we note the following kinds : 



Hybrid Remontant. 



Alfred Colomb and Wilhelm Koelle. 

 Anne de Diesbach and Gloire de Paris. 

 Auguste Mie, Mme. Eival, and Blanche de 



Beaulieu. 

 Baron de Bonstetten and Baron Chaurand. 

 Boieldieu and Mme. Boll.
