INCONSTANT BEAUTY. The remarkable fea- 

 ture of this Rose hes in the fact that its tlowers vary in 

 color from pale yellow to the deepest crimson, exhibit- 

 ing blooms on the same bush that are yellow, buff, 

 salmou, apricot, blush, pink, carmine, etc. The delight- 

 ful eft"ect may be imagined when I add that it is very free- 

 blooming, and continuing through(mt the season. The 

 buds are large, pointed, of fine form, and deliciously 

 fragrant: a true Tea Rose. It is one of the best for out- 

 door culture, and its blooms are especially tine for cut- 

 ting. See iUnstratio)i.
