ROSA LAWRENCIANA.—Tam Muovatours Ross. 
This family, as its name implies, consists of plants of dwarfish 
habit. The low growth of these plants and the small size of their 
flowers present a striking contrast in comparison to the other va-

from white to dark crimson; and, when planted in good rich soil, 
frequently combine the loveliness and beauty of some of the larger 
varieties in miniature. These should be propagated from cut-

plicable to this class.
