CASSELL'S POPULAR GARDENING. 



Triomphe de JRennes. — Pale yellow, very free and 

 good, especially so in the autumn. 



William Allen Richardson.— ^msiM orange-yellow 

 flowers, striking. 



HYBRID PERPETUALS. 



These are so beautiful, and most of them such 

 good growers, that the whole family might be backed 

 up against walls, which they would speedily clothe 

 with verdure and beauty. Hence the difficulty of 

 selection is as great as it seems almost needless. 

 But the following may be warranted as among the 

 best wall-clothers. 



First of all there are the climbing varieties of such 

 well-known Roses as — - 



Captain Christy, Charles Lefebvre, EdouardMorren, 

 Jules Margottin, Bessie Johnson, MdUe. Eugenic 

 Verdier, and Victor Verdier. 



Anna Alexeff. — Bright rose, large and free. 



Baron Nathaniel de Rothschild. — A bright rosy» 

 crimson. 



Brightness of Gheshwnt. — Bright scarlet, fine fonn. 



Boule de Neige. — The very best white Perpetual 

 for a wall, small but exquisite in form and frag- 

 rance, flowering in bunches throughout the season. 



Baroness Rothschild. — Pale rose, shaded white, 

 robust, but not a fast grower. 



Baron Bonstetten. — Rich dark velvety-crimson. 



Camille Berardin. — Light crimson, often shaded 

 with white, striking and most effective. 



Charles Lefebvre. — As good, though not quite such 

 a rapid grower, as the climbing variety of the best of 

 all the darkest red or velvety-purple Roses. 



Comtesse de Serenzi. — Light rosy-pink, fine form, 

 large. 



Countess of Rosehery. — Rich soft carmine-rose. 



Duehesse de Vallomirosa. — Soft rosy-peach, melting 

 with age into French white ; good. 



BuJce of Connaught. — Rich velvety-crimson, very 

 brilliant, rather smaU. 



Duhe of Edinburgh. — This well-known, popular, 

 rich vermilion Rose is an excellent grower, with 

 clean and beautiful foliage. 



Emily Laxton. — Bright rose-coloured. 



Edouard Morren. — Large, deep cherry-coloured. 



Fisher Sohnes. — Brilliant scarlet, rich, open. 



Glory of Cheshunt. — Rich and vivid shaded crimson. 



General Jacqueminot. — One of the oldest and still 

 the best among the brilliant crimson- scarlets. 



Helen Paul. — Good white, occasionally suffused 

 with pink. 



Jolm Bright. — Pure glowing crimson. 



Jules Margottin. — Bright carmine, one of the 

 finest and best autumnal Roses on walls. 



John Sopper. — Delicate rosy-crimson; a general 

 favourite. 



La France. — The best of all the silvery -pink 

 Roses, and in bloom on a wall from May to Decem- 

 ber ; an ever-growing, long-blooming, almost ever- 

 green Rose, combining in itself the fragrance of all 

 the others ; no wall must be without this Rose, and 

 if there is only room for one Rose, let La Frauce be 

 that one. 



La JDuchesse de Morny.^A. soft mixture of rose 

 and silver. 



Madame Victor Verdier. — Large and full, deep 

 carmine. 



Madame Clemence Joigneaux. — Very sweet rose, 

 shaded lilac, large and full. 



Madaine Lacharme. — Pure white, large and full; 

 needs a wall 'in many localities to do it justice. 



Madame Naehmry. — Light silvery - rose, deeply 

 cupped. 



Mdlle. Annie Wood. — Large and full, rich clear red. 



Marechal Vaillant. — Bright crimson, very profuse 

 bloomer. 



Marchioness of Exeter. — Clear bright cherry-rose. 



Maurice Berardin. — Rich vermilion, very fine, and 

 similar to Ferdinand de Lesseps, Sir Garnet Wolse- 

 ley, and Exposition de Brie ; the number of aliases 

 in this instance being proofs of excellency. 



Monsiew Noman. — Perfect form, large, rose- 

 coloured. 



Merveille de Zyon. — The best and most vigorous of 

 all the white sports from the Baroness Rothschild. 

 Better than the White Baroness or Mabel Morrison. 



Mr. Harry Turner. — Bright crimson-scarlet, with 

 rich maroon shading. 



Paul Neron. — The largest of all Roses, coarse in 

 summer, but worth a wall for the more moderate- 

 sized and good-shaped bloom it yields in autumn; 

 deep rose-coloured. 



Prince Arthur. — Deep rich crimson, rather small, 

 but brilliant and beautiful. 



Prince Cmnille de Rohan. — This is too well known 

 as the deepest, darkest, and most fragrant of all the 

 black-crimson velvet Roses to need further descrip- 

 tion. 



Jied- Gauntlet. — Scarlet-crimson, shaded rose. 



Souvenir de Mom. Boll. — Bright cerise, large, full. 



Star of Waltham. —Deep crimson, with very firm 

 foliage. 



Robert Marnock. — Brownish - crimson, rich and 

 good. 



Sultan of Zanzibar. — Dark maroon, a sort of in- 

 termediate colour and character between Duke of 

 Edinburgh and Reynold's Hole, and equal to either, 

 excepting in size. Reynold's Hole should also be 

 grown. 



Thomas Mills. — One of the brightest and freest of 

 the bright crimson Roses, not very large. 

 Violette Bouyer. — ^illmost pure white.
