size, cup-shaped ; a shy bloom- 

 er, and not valuable. 



LafFay, 1840. Rosy-pink, large, 

 full ; shy in autumn. 



Bennett, 1879. Raised from 

 President X Marquise de Cas- 

 tellane. Satiny-pink, shaded 

 with rose, sometimes the color 

 is carmine-rose ; large, full 

 flowers, with a faint Tea odor. 

 The flowers are apt to be irreg- 

 ular and not of good finish, the 

 buds are generally good. Sub- 

 ject to mildew. 



W. Paul & Son, 1882, Crimson. 



G. Paul, 1875. Deep, velvety- 

 crimson, wiih a fiery flush ; me- 

 dium size, full, well formed ; 

 burns badly, very shy in au- 

 tumn. In England this is one 

 of the finest dark roses ; we 

 have seen it in grand form at 

 the raiser's, but it has no val- 

 ue for out-door culture in this 

 country, 



Bennett, 1879. Raised from Pres- 

 ident X Louis Van Houtte. 

 Rosy-crimson, large, full, well 

 formed, good in bud, almost 

 v/ithout fragrance ; the buds 

 do not always open. A fine 

 rose when well grown, but it 

 will never be useful for ordi- 

 nary cultivators. 



G. Paul, i863. Raised from 

 General Jacqueminot. Bright 

 crimson, large, double flow- 

 ers, little fragrance ; foliage 

 large and attractive. Occa- 

 sionally this is very fine early
