ROSES. 



The twelve varieties listed below have been offered 

 under this heading with a view of supplying the 

 amateur, who is not familiar with the various varieties, 

 and to whom a selection from the long list of Hybrid 

 Perpetuals must necessarily prove confusing, as a collec-

 brought together in such a number of plants, with free- 

 dom of flowering, perfect form, fragrance, hardiness and 

 general excellence.

 nary conditions give a full crop of flowers 

 this season ; and while their main croj) is pro-
