 shaded saimon-colour.

 Safrano, best in bud. 



Madame Welch, — Light yellow, with orange centre. 



Madame Denis. — White, with sulphur centre, one 

 of the most vigorous. 



Madame Mienne Levet. — Deep red, with coppery- 

 yellow centre, one of the richest and best. 



Madame Cusin. — Light purple, the base of each 

 petal being yellow, pretty pointed bud, very distinct. 



Madame WiUermoz. — One of the finest of all the

 deepest-coloured of all the Gloire de Dijon sports or 

 seedlings.

 centre.

 ferous Gloire de Bordeaux.

 rose. 



Marie Van Soutte. — The richest and most delicate 

 combination of yellow and peach to be found among 

 Rosea. 



Marechal Niel. — So deep and full of gold and of 

 fragrance as to deserve the whole of any waE to 

 itself. 



Niphetos. — ^Worthy to run abreast with the Mare- 

 chal Mel as the finest pure white Rose in-doors or 

 out. Grown on a, south or west wall, it blooms 

 most profusely, and the outside of its Magnolia- 

 like shaped and substantial petals is often surface- 

 painted with pink that even adds to their beauty. 

 Niphetos is generally described as pale yellow, but 

 in the garden or under glass the yellow is blanched 

 out of it, and it is the whitest of all white Roses, as 

 well as the best. 



Ferfection de Monplaisir. — Very free - flowering ; 

 deep veUow. 



Ferle de Lyon. — Rich yellow, large and full. 



Perle dea Jardins. — This rather new, bright straw- 

 coloured Rose is so beautiful as to warrant its ambi- 

 tious name. 



Eubem. — Something in the way of Adam and Pre- 

 sident, which are so nearly alike as to have become 

 one in show -stands, but having more white and 

 less rose in it than either ; Rubens also grows and 

 blooms freely. 



Saframo is still one of the most popular and flori- 

 ferous of the orange-yellow Roses, 



The coppery-red Rose, Safrano a Fleur Rouge, is 

 almost equally worthy of a place on the wall, both 

 being perfect in bud. 



Somireuil. — Still one of the best pure white Roses, 

 flowering in large bunches. 



Soiwenir d' Flise.— -The very best of all the cream 

 and rose Teas, though these may be said to be the 

 prevailing colours among Roses.

 des Noisettes, bright Roses, flowering in clusters. 



FEENS. 



Bt James Britten, F.L.S. 



The Hymenopliylluiiis. — Probably but few 

 JJant-lovers would.- be found to dispute the asser- 

 tion that in the whole kingdom of ferns there are 

 no more beautiful and interesting plants than 

 the Hymenophyllums and their near allies, the 

 Trichomanes. The two genera just named, and 

 Todea — which has already been treated in this work 

 — constitute what are popularly known as " fihny
