CHINESE OR BEIVGAI. ROSES.

 gardens of half a century ago, and which deserves as great a popularity to-day 

 as it had in years past. Conijiared with other Roses the flowers as well as the 

 growth are small; but where an abundance of flowers is wanted they are un- 

 equalled, especially so as they will flourish under soil and climatic conditions in 

 which the high-bred varieties will not thrive; splendid for massing, and hardy 

 with slight protection.
