White La France (Augustine Guinoisseau) ; Madame 

 Abel Chateney, a carmine which is unusually hardy; 

 Madame Jules Grolez, cherry red. 



The hybrid perpetuals are: Baroness Rothschilds, 

 pink; Anne de Diesbach, carmine; Captain Christy, 

 pink; Glory of the Exposition of Brussels, blackish 

 red; Jean Liabaud, another deep red; Giant of Bat- 

 tles, a light crimson of peculiarly old timey fra- 

 grance; Mrs. R. G. Sharman Crawford, a gold- 

 medalled pink ; Margaret Dickson, a white of loveliest 

 form ; the reliable old white Madame Plantier ; the 

 well-known pink Paul Neyron; Ulrich Brunner, red 

 (of great beauty of bud); and last of all Gloire 

 Lyonnaise, the most beautiful rose in our garden.

 year-old teas each spring to take the place of winter- 

 killed ones, for the tea is not hardy north of New

The most beautiful ones we have tried so far are: 

 Enfant de Lyon, rosy cream with copper tints; 

 Devoniensis, cream with pinkjsh centre (a great fa- 

 vorite in the south) ; Souvenir de Pierre Netting, 

 apricot blended with rose; Helen Good, pale yellow 

 and rose; Marie Lambert, cream white; Marie van 

 Houtte, cream tinged with lemon; Papa Gontier,
