CASSELL'S i»OPULAR GAKDENING. 



Safra/io. — Bright apricot in bud, changing to fawn 

 when open ; best in bud ; hardy and fine-floweiing. 



Vicomtesse de Cazes. — One of the oldest and hardiest 

 of the Teas ; yellow shaded with copper. 



Souvenir d'ltn Ami. — Large and tine bright rose. 



Triomphe de Guillot Jih. — Large, fragrant ; colour 

 a rich mixture of fawn and salmon. 



Sombreuil. — Cream fading into blush-rose. 



Devoniensis. — Rich mixture of rose and creamy- 

 white ; exquisite form and delightful fragrance. 



Cllmhinfj Devoniensis. — Equally good but hardier,

Comtesse de Nadaillac.~Y evy vigorous, fine globu- 

 lar form, and a rich apricot-colour. 



Lctty Coles. — Rosy-carmine. 



Madame Furtado. — Soft sulphur. 



Madame Trijle and. 3£adaine Levet partake to a great 

 extent of the character and colour of Gloire de Dijon, 

 though neither of them is better, if equal to it. 



Perfection de Monplaisir. — Bright canary -yellow, 

 soft and rich. 



Madame de St. Joseph. — Rich salmon-pink. 



Madame Lamhard. — Bright rose. 



Madame Berard. — Rich lignt saimon. 



Madame Falcot. — Hardy, good in bud, with good 

 perpetual-flowering properties. 



Alba Rosea. — White with rose centre ; very fine. 



The Cheshtmt Hybrid is so different from other 

 Teas that it has formed the basis of a separate class, 

 -that of Hybrid Teas. It also stands at almost the 

 head of the list among garden Roses, The foUow- 

 ing are excellent in this class : — 



Miss May Faid. — A mixture of red and lilac ; a 

 welcome addition to the class. 



2Iadame Supert should also be classed with these ; 

 a white seedling from Gloire de Dijon. 



Cannes la Coquette. — Light salmony-pink ; some- 

 thing in the way of La France; higher praise is 

 impossible. 



Madame Etienne Levct. — Deep crimson ; flowering 

 freely. 



Feine Marie Eenriirtte. — Deep carmine ; with long 

 pointed bud. 



Eeine Olga de Wurtemberg. — Round, red; very 

 luxuriant. 



Ca;«oe;?s. —Bright-coloured, of the China type; 

 fine, flowering beautifully in beds. 



To this section will probably be added several of 

 Mr. Bonnet's pedigree Roses, as Eer Majesty. In 

 form, size and substance, this Rose is aU that could be 

 desired. The colour is a waxy-pink, something like 

 La France. It has also been described as half-way 

 in colour between Captain Christy and Baroness 

 , Rothschild. The foliage is fine, and the habit 

 vigorous. This hybrid is likely to take a high 

 place alike in the garden and on the exhibition table. 



Lady Mary Fitzivilliani is a soft rose-coloured 

 novelty of free growth. This may also become a 

 good garden variety. 



Bistinction. — Soft peach, rich and good. 



Frincess of Wales. — Delicate flesh ; fine form. 



There are many more Tea and other Roses seen 

 or grown by the writer that promise well, but it will 

 be safer to test them by experience leforo lecoin- 

 mending them as garden Roses. 



Hybrid Perpetuals. — The groat family of 

 Hybrid Perpetual Roses might be taken into the 

 garden bodily to its manifest improvement. Still, 

 not a few of those best for the garden are use- 

 less for exhibition, and to some extent vice versa. 

 Hence, while varieties may be included in the fol- 

 lowing list that may at times be found in winning 

 stands, the majority are chiefly distinguished by 

 vigour of constitution, profusion of flower, and 

 eft'ectivencss on the plants, or as cut flowers for 

 decorative purposes.
