Moss Roses. 
(Rosa CENTIFOLIA MUCOSA.) 
This is a favorite class with every one, on‘account of the beautiful buds, which, 
for bouquets and cut flowers, are invaluable. 
They are subject, as a class, to mildew, and require close pruning and high cul- 
ture. They amply repay careful attention by the increased size and beauty of the 
flowers. They are all very hardy. The foliage is generally somewhat crimpled, and 
has mostly seven leaflets.

The charm of a Moss Rose is the bud. Such kinds as the Common, Gracilis and 
Crested, with graceful buds, are especially recommended. Princess Adelaide is good 
both in bud and flower, and is grown upon its own roots. The other varieties are 
difficult to propagate, and are grown as budded plants. Our plants this season are 
exceptionally strong and fine. | 
‘Miscellaneous Roses. 
In this class we place all the varieties of Summer Roses grown by us, that are not 
described in the three preceding classes, Blanchefleur and G&illet Flammande (French), 
Centifolia (Provence), Charles Lawson, Chenedolle, Coupe d’ Hebe, Madame Lacharme, 
Madam Plantier, Magna Charta, Paul Verdier (Hybrid China), Madam Hardy, and 
Madam Zoetman (Damask). Many of the groups of Summer Roses, by hybridization, 
are greatly intermixed ; in some Classes but one or two varieties are considered worth 
growing ; on this account we see no use in a catalogue for a multitude of divisions, 
and therefore place them all in one class.

PERPETUAL OR AUTUMNAL ROSES. 
Blooming continually, or at intervals from June to November. 
Bengal or China Roses. 
(Rosa INpIcA.) 
These are mostly of moderate growth, and though not fragrant are very appro- 
priate and beautiful for beds on a lawn, and for pot culture in the house. The foliage 
is in five leaflets, rather small. They bloom all Summer and Autumn in the open 
ground ; but are more tender than any other class except the Teas. This class is ad- 
mirably adapted for the Window Garden. All are on their own roots. 
Bourbon Roses. 
(RosA BouRBONIANA.) 
These are not quite hardy, but a very slight protection suffices them. Those of 
moderate growth require close pruning. They are continual bloomers, mostly of rapid
