Madame G. Bruant. — This variety was produced by crossing 

 Rosa Rugosa with the Tea variety Sombreuil. Flowers semi- 

 double, produced in clusters of from three to six ; buds long 

 and pointed and similar to Niphetos in shape, and in color 

 pure white. Remarkably free blooming and will prove hardy 

 where the thermometer goes to zero and a little lower. It 

 forms a handsome bush for lawn and yard planting and will 

 prove of great value where white flowers are in use. 



Duchesse d'Auerstadt.— Flowers large; petals broad, but grace- 

 ful in contour ; color, light yellow; center, colored a nankin 

 yellow; reverse of petals, creamy yellow. A beautiful tea 

 rose. This lovely variety received a first-class certificate from 

 the Horticultural Association, at Lyons, in June 1887.
