 bines almost evcrv tint of which natjre is (susceptible, and some of their collections 

 contain above 1400 superb varieties. The following have been selected on account 

 of their fragrance, size, beauty, singularity, or delicacy, and the original plants of 

 many of these kinds cost from $1,50 cents to $4,73 cents each, exclusive of the ex- 

 penses and losses attending importation. The collection occupies a7i acre of grovnd, 

 where all the kinds are marked with their respective names, and during ihe period of

 Union without protection, with the exception of a few of the China roses. The cul- 

 ture of roses is of the most simple and easy description, and information on that point
