XII MAlSfNERS AND CUSTOMS 267 



Prince Camille de Bohan (E. Verdier, 1861).— 

 Eliminated by the editors of this edition. 



Purity (Cooling & Sons, 1898). — Eliminated by 

 the editors of this edition. 



Bev. Alan Cheales (Paul & Son, 1896). — A very 

 good grower which does not require close pruning. 

 It flowers freely and is a " good doer." The blooms 

 are of a nice fresh colour — " pure lake with reverse

Suzanne Marie BodocanacM (Leveque, 1883). — 

 Of Victor Verdier race, and requiring therefore no 

 description here of manners and customs. A noble 

 Eose, the best of this family. The colour is not 

 only bright, glowing, and most attractive, but also 

 lasting, a most desirable attribute for a show Eose ; 

 it also retains its shape when cut better than any 

 other Eose of the globular form that I know. 

 The growth is good, it does well as a standard,
