GARDEN CLASSIFICATION. 257 



forming the office of the shears. We recollect seeing at Genoa, 

 in Italy, a beautiful hedge of this rose, which, even at that time, 

 in mid-winter, had not lost all its foliage. We can imagine few 

 things more beautiful than a well- cultivated hedge of this rose, 

 with its smooth, glossy foliage well sprinkled with the beautiful 

 ruby-tinted buds. 



DAILY WHITE is very similar to the preceding, in everything 

 but the color of its flowers, which are pure white. Like the 

 other, its fully expanded flowers are inferior to many other varie- 

 ties, but its half-blown buds are very perfect, and make it a de- 

 sirable plant for the bouquet-maker. 



DEVONIENSIS, T., is a very beautiful rose, of immense size. 

 Like Chromatella, it is sometimes a shy bloomer when young, 

 but is well adapted for forcing. Its form is cupped, and its color 

 a fine creamy white, tinted with rose. 



DUCHESS OF KENT is a very beautiful variety. It is very 

 double, with a perfect form, and of a delicate blush and pink 

 color. 



DUCHESSE DE MECKLENBURGH, T., is a very beautiful tea- 

 scented variety, with very large cupped flowers, of a creamy 

 yellow or straw color. 



ECLAIR DE JUPITER, N., is a very distinct pillar rose, of most 

 luxuriant habit. Its flowers are cupped, semi-double, and large. 

 The inside of the petals is of a light vivid crimson, and the out- 

 side of a peculiar whitish appearance, as if powdered. 



ELIZA SAUVAGE, T., is one of the finest of the tea-scented 

 roses. Its habit is good, its bloom is free and abundant, and its 

 very large and double globular flowers are of a fine pale yellow, 

 with orange centre. 



EUGENIE JOVIN, T., is one of the best of the new roses, scarcely 

 inferior to any in this list. Its flowers are large, abundant, and 

 of a flesh-colored white, slightly tinted with fawn. 



FABVIER is a good rose, and hardy. It is desirable for its 

 distinct flowers, whose color is a very brilliant and beautiful 

 scarlet. 



TS " KG, N.. is 6ne of the finest crimson cluster-blooming
