post about six feet high it will flower all up its stem and is just Teas and 
at the right height for the eye to see its beauty to perfection. Hybrid 
When grown taller it is lost “in the clouds,” for it stands up Teas 
stiff and straight and points its loveliness to the unappreciative 
sky instead of to the ardent gardener below, like many of the

which our old friend cannot boast. 
Madame Abel Chatenay, Viscountess Folkestone, 
Prince de Bulgarie, Duchess of Portland, 
Maman Cochet, both pink Marquise Litta,

Madame Jules Grolez, Madame Jules Graveraux, 
Frederick Haarms, Killarney, 
Antoine Rivorre, Peace, 
Madame Eugenie Boullet, Perles des Jaunes, 
Madame Berkeley, Louis Van Houtie, 
Madame Lambard, Amateur Teyssier, 
are all of perfect shape, both in bud and full flower, and 
splendid for cutting. 
The many good kinds which are to be seen in our gardens 
are almost innumerable, and fresh ones appear every season, so 
that a certain amount of discretion and restraint should be used 
by those whose ground is of no large acreage, otherwise in a 
few years the problem will present itself as to how we can find 
room for those which are newly introduced to us, and which it 
is felt we cannot do without. Of recent years I have entirely 
ES?
