CASSELL'S POi-ULAE GAKDENING.

 of the Teas ; yellow shaded with copper.

 a i-ich mixture of fawn and salmon, 



Soinbrettil. — Cream fading into blush-rose.

Comtesse de NadaiUac. — Very vigorous, fine globu- 

 kr form, and a rich apricot-colour. 

 Letty Coles. — Eosy-carmiiie. 

 Madame Furtado. — Soft sulphur. 

 Madame Trijleemdi Madame Level partake to a great 

 extent of the character and colour of Gloire de Dijon, 

 though neither of them is better, if equal to it.

 soft and rich. 



Madame de St. Joseph. — Rich salmon-pink. 

 Madame Lombard. —Bright rose. 

 Madame Berard. — Rich lignt saimon.

 perpetual-flowering properties.

 The Cheshunt Hybrid is so different from other 

 Teas that it has formed the basis of a separate class, 

 that of Hybrid Teas. It also stands at almost the 

 head of the list among garden Roses. The follow- 

 in,u; are excellent in this class : — 



Miss May Paul. — A mixture of red and lilac; a 

 welcome addition to the class. 



Madame Supert should also be classed with these ; 

 a white seedling from Gloire d6 Dijon. 



Cannes la Coquette.— ^i^t salmony-pink ; some- 

 thing in the way of La France; higher praise is 

 impossible. 



Madame Etienne Level. — Deep crimson ; flowering 

 fredy.. 



Heine Marie Henriette. — Deep carmine ; with long 

 pointed bud. 



Reirte Olga de Wurtembery. — Round, red; very 

 luxuriant. 



Camoens — Bright-coloured, of the China type; 

 fine, flowering beautifully in beds. 



To this section will probably be added several of 

 Mr. Bennet's pedigree Roses, as Her Majesty. In 

 iorm, size and substance, this Rose is aU that could be 

 ilosired. The colour is a waxy-pink, something like 

 La France. It has also been described aa half-way 

 in colour between Captain Christy and Baroness 

 Rothschild. The foliage is fine, and the habit 

 vigorous. This hybrid is likely to take a high 

 place alike in the gnrdcn and on the exhibition table. 



Lady Mary Fitzmlliam is a soft rose-coloured 

 novelty of free growth. This may also become a 

 good garden variety. 



Distinction.— BoH^e&ch, rich and good. 



Princess of Wales.— Tie&Qa.t& flesh ; fine form. 



There are many more Tea and other Roses seen 

 or grown by the writer that promise well, but it wall 

 be safer to test them by experience before recom- 

 mending them as garden Roses. 



Hybrid Perpetuals.— The great fa,mily of 

 Hybrid Perpetual Roses might be taken into the 

 garden bodily to its manifest improvement. Still, 

 not a few of those best for the garden are use- 

 less for exhibition, and to, some extent vice versa. 

 Hence, while varieties may be included in the fol- 

 lowing list that may at times be found in winning 

 stands, the majority are chiefly distinguished by 

 vigour of constitution, profusion of flower, and 

 efiectiveness on the plants, or as cut flowers for 

 decorative purposes.
