sorts I stni satisfied that two thirds of thern are quite dispensable, re- 

 ducing them, to a dozen and a half: admitting these, we have left 

 the following very desirable sorts of Bourbons : 



AcidaMe, nearly white. 



Desgaches, satin rose, 



Dupetit Tkouars, bright crimson. 



Desfesses, waxy pink. 



George Cuvier, large carmine. 



Henrv Clay, lar^e, bright rosy red. 



Hermosa, pale rose . 



Lavine d'Ost, waxy pink, in large clusters. 



Leveson Gower, large, pale purplish rose. 



Madam Angelina, creamy white. 



Madam Newman, large bright rose, very fragrant, does not open 

 well in the early part of the season; often called monthly cabbage. 



Mrs. Bosanquet, creamy blush, 



Paul Joseph, bright scarlet, crimson. 



Prince de Joinville, purple crimson. 



Queen of Bourbons, creamy blush. 



Souvenir d'Anselm, or Enfant d'Ajaccio, bright led, fragrant, and 

 a 2:0 od climber. 



Souvenir de la Malmaison, very large, blush, with a pink center. 



Yicomte de Cusey, very large, rosy carmine.

 tenelle, Prince de Joinville, Deuil du Due d'Orleans, and splendors, 

 Madam Desprez, Marquis d'Ossay, Lavina d'Ost, and Madam Aude 

 are also in close family likeness. Those who wish a few good 

 climbers with Souvenir d'Anselm, should add Bouquet de Flore, La- 

 dy Canning, and Triomphe de la Duchere. Many admire Gloire 

 de Rosemene for a climber, but it is so simple in its blossoms ; 

 though its profuseness of bloom and brilliancy of color in some de- 

 gree compensate for its deficiency of form. If the Bourbon roses 

 had only more fragrance (which &w of them have) they would be 

 the general favorites of all rose lovers, for the}' combine every
