THE ROSE. 538 

Mr. H. B. ELLWANGER’S MONOGRAPH OF ROSES 
OF AMERICAN ORIGIN, 1880. 
Prairie Rose and Noisette Rose. These two 
classes have their origin in America, R. rubifolia, 
the Prairie Rose, seeds of which were sown by 
Samuel John Feast, of Baltimore, and the plants 
fertilized produced 
Baltimore Belle, and Queen of the Prairies; their 
hardiness and vigorous growth make them of 
great value. 
Anna Maria, raised by 8. Feast, 1843 ; color blush 
or pale pink, full flowers, few thorns. 
Anna Eliza (Williams), dark purple. 
Baltimore Belle, S. J. Feast, 1843; white with 
blush centre, of good full form; has some Noisette 
blood, which makes it a little tender, but the most 
beautiful of the class. 
Eva Corinne, pale blush.
