1 8 TRIP TO PARIS IN SEARCH OF AUTUMNAL ROSES. 



finely cupped ; Due de Chartres, pale red, a superb Rose ; 

 Dumont du Courset, bright carmine, sometimes curiously 

 marbled ; Edward Defosse, a bright pink, shaped like 

 Madame Nerard, first-rate ; Georges Cuvier, pale rose ; 

 Glory of Paris, another crimson variety, marbled with 

 violet and a fine rose ; Imperatrice Josephine, pale pink, of 

 a very elegant shape, blooming in corymbs ; La Gracieuse, 

 reddish crimson, a seedling from Emile Courtier, and an 

 estimable variety ; Le Grenadier, vivid crimson, frequently 

 tinged with violet ; Madame Souchet, rose and blush, 

 marbled, a delicate and beautiful variety ; Princesse 

 Clementine, violet-crimson, good ; Princesse de Modena, 

 flesh ; Souchet, bright purplish crimson, very fine ; 

 Souvenir d'Anselmne, a lively cherry colour ; Souvenir de

 being very plentiful it may yet prove better than is antici-

 the flowers were bold and large, but not very abundantly 

 produced ; Barbot, yellow, tinted with rose, a very pleasing 

 kind ; Boutrand, rose ; Comte de Paris, flesh, one of the 

 finest Tea-Scented Roses ; Delices de Plantier, coppery 

 rose, very rich-looking ; Josephine Malton, bunish-yellow, 

 of a beautiful form ; Julie Mansais, sulphury- white, the 

 buds large and handsome ; La Renommee, a whitish 

 yellow, not new, but apparently little known ; Madame 

 Roussel, white ; Marie de Medicis, rose, with fawn centre, 

 good and distinct ; Moiret, large, full, pale yellow, a superb 

 rose ; and Safranot, a distinct and striking variety of a 

 beautiful saffron colour when first expanding, gradually
