CASSELL'S POPULAR GARDENING. 



Letty Coles. — A pink sport of one of the most 

 beautiful of all Tea Roses, of the Madame AVillermoz 

 type. 



Madame Angele Jacquier. — Copper-colom^ed yellow, 

 with bright pink centre. 



Madame Bravy. — A very rich and beautiful variety, 

 cream-coloured. 



Madame Berard. — Large reflexed flower of a 

 shaded salmon-colour. 



Madame Falcoi. — Rich orange-yellow, better than 

 Safrano, best in bud. 



Madame Welch. — Light yellow, with orange centre. 



Madame Denis. — White, with sulphui' centre, one 

 of the most vigorous. 



Madame Etienne Levet. — Deep red, with coppery- 

 yellow centre, one of the richest and best. 



Madame Cusin. — Light purple, the base of each 

 petal being yellow, pretty pointed bud, very distinct. 



Madame Willermoz. — One of the finest of all the 

 Teas, white, with salmon centre, very double, and of 

 perfect form. 



Madame Eugene Verdier. — One of the richest and 

 deepest-coloured of all the Gloire de Dijon sports or 

 seedhngs. 



Madame Hippohjte Jamain. — White, with yellowish 

 centre. 



Madame Margottin. — Deep crimson, with rich rosy- 

 peach centre. 



Madame Maurin. — White, shaded with salmon, 

 full and large. 



Madame de WatteviUe. — A fine new rose, tulip- 

 shaped, salmon, bordered with rose. 



May Paul. — A red Tea ; a refined and more flori- 

 ferous Gloire de Bordeaux. 



Monsieur Fartado. — A decided improvement on 

 Narcisse ; soft pale yellow. 



Marie Sisley. — Yellowish- white, fringed with 

 rose. 



Marie Van Hnufte. — The richest and most delicate 

 combination of yellow and peach to be found among 

 Roses. 



Marechal Kiel. — So deep and full of gold and of 

 fragrance as to deserve the whole of any wall to 

 itself. 



Niphetos. — Worthy to run abreast with the Mare- 

 chal Niel as the finest pure white Rose in-doors or 

 out. Grown on a south or west wall, it blooms 

 most profusely, and the outside of its Magnolia- 

 like shaped and substantial petals is often surface- 

 painted with pink that even adds to their beauty. 

 Niphetos is generally described as pale yellow, but 

 in the garden or under glass the yellow is blanched 

 out of it, and it is the whitest of all white Roses, as 

 well as the best. 



Perfection de Monplaisir. — Very free - flowering ; 

 deep yellow. 



Perle de Lyon. — Rich yellow, large and full. 



Perle des J ard ins. —This rather new, bright straw- 

 coloured Rose is so beautiful as to warrant its ambi- 

 tious name. 



Pt( bens. — Something in the way of Adam and Pre- 

 sident, which are so nearly alike as to have become 

 one in show - stands, but having more white and 

 less rose in it than either ; Rubens also grows and 

 blooms freely. 



Safrano is still one of the most popular and flori- 

 ferous of the orange-yellow Roses. 



The coppery-red Rose, Safrano a Fleur Rouge ^ is 

 almost equally worthy of a place on the wall, both 

 being perfect in bud. 



Sombreuil. — Still one of the best pure white Roses, 

 flowering in large bunches. 



Souvenir d^Flise. — The very best of all the cream 

 and rose Teas, though these may be said to be the 

 prevailing colours among Roses. 



Souvenir de Madame Perjiet. — Large, globular, rose- 

 coloured. 



Souvenir de Paul Xeron. — Fine, double, yellowish, 

 bordered -with rose. 



Souvenir d'un Ami. — One of the best selfs among the

 fawn, tinted with salmon.

 orange, fringed with copper.

 Heinrich SchuUheis, pink-rose ; 3Irs. John Laing, soft 

 pink; The Puritan, yellowish - white ; Viscountess

 Primrose Dame. Two other new and fragrant Roses : — 

 Lady Helen Stuart, h.p., crimson-scarlet, and Triomphe 

 des Noisettes, bright Roses, flowering in clusters. 



FEENS. 



By James Beitten, F.L.S. 



The Hymen ophyllums. — Probably but few 

 plant-lovers would be found to dispute the asser- 

 tion that in the whole kingdom of ferns there are 

 no more beautiful and interesting plants than 

 the HjTnenophyllums and their near allies, the 

 Trichomanes. The two genera just named, and 

 Todea — which has already been treated in this work 

 — constitute what are popularly known as " filmy 

 ferns." Now that the general requirements of these 

 wonderfully delicate-fronded subjects are better un- 

 derstood, there seems no reason to doubt that before
