these, the yellow Souvenir de Pierre Notting is the 

 most beautiful. It has been introduced by one of 

 the foremost firms of France and is not exceeded 

 by any rose sent out from that country. The blos- 

 soms are large, well filled, and open easily. The 

 buds are beautiful and elongated. When fully 

 bloomed, they show an apricot yellow, tinged with 

 golden and mixed with orange yellow. One charm 

 of these flowers is that the edge of the petal shades 

 to a beautiful carmine rose. The open flower is full 

 and double, it being an extremely free blossomer. 

 One of the latest introductions is the Lady Hil- 

 lingdon, the color being beyond description. Apri- 

 cot yellow, shaded to orange on the outer edge of 

 the petal, and becoming deeper and more intense 

 as it reaches the center of the bloom. The buds are 

 produced on long, strong, wiry stems, which are 

 placed well above the foliage, thus giving it a slen- 

 der and graceful effect. It is valuable in both the 

 amateur and professional growers' gardens. It 

 would be impossible to enumerate the different 

 kinds that are used for this purpose.
