I also draw attention to the position of A. K. Williams and Madame G. Luizet. 

 These two Roses almost exactly change their relative places in the two lists. Evidently 

 A. K. Williams is not so highly esteemed in America, and since the publication of the 

 first portion of this election I have received a letter from a gentleman in which the fol- 

 lowing passages occur : — " Since you mention A. K. Williams I cannot resist giving you 

 my experience this season. I had between thirty and forty plants on Briar and Manetti, 

 maidens and cutbacks. Eleven of them died right out in April, though they had shot 

 strongly before, being pruned in March. Of the remainder I cut but one moderate 

 show bloom all the season. They are well ' done by,' but made very weak growth. I 

 think there was something in the season-did not suit it. All Rose-growers in this county 

 (Suffolk) were equally lamenting it." My experience, I confess, leans to the same view 

 — plants have died so far as I -could discover without any reason. 



Of Helen Paul and Gaston Leveque, two Roses that are included in Mr. Ellwan- 

 ger's second twenty-four, no mention was made by any one of the sixty -six voters in this 

 country ; the catalogue characte^'of the former is excellent. 



Let me now compare the two lists of Teas and Noisettes.

Criticisms from Various English Papers and Magazines. 



W. A. RrCHARDSOX—"Som.ewheLt in the style of Ma Capucine and Le Nankin, but is very 

 peculiar in color; very lovely and well adapted for bouquets." 



MABEL MORRISON— 11 It has been charged against this beautiful white Rose that it is want- 

 ing in petal , but we have seen some blooms lately, grown by Mr. Bennett, against which 

 this charge could not honestly be made." 



MME. CHEDANE GUINNOISEA U— "Deep lemon color, lovely in the bud state. 



ANGELE JACQUIER— "The greatest gain in the class, though Etoile de Lyon is considered to 

 , . be the 'topper'." 



COMT.ESSE DE CHOISEUIL—"N splendid reddish crimson." 



COUNTESS OF ROSEBERRY-" N grand flower, of a bright rosy carmine, one of the finest of 

 recent introductions." 



CATHERINE SOUPERT— "Pleasing in color, but not particularly high in quality." 



JULIUS FINGER— "Blush-pink, a good second-class flower. " 



FRANCOIS LEVET—"Delica,te rose, said to be produced very freely." 



GLORY OF CHESHUNT—"Tlie earliest of red Roses." 



HARRISON WEIR— "Quite the Rose we should expect from such parents as Charles Lefebvre 

 and Xavier Olibo." 



HELEN PA UL— U A new variety of great promise, of a delicate blush color." 



MRS. JOWETT— "Very good." "Promises to afford blooms of fine size and substance long 

 after her fellows have given up for the season." "It will be a grand acquisition." 



MRS. HARRY TURNER— "Glorious color." "Splendid in color, though perhaps a little in- 

 clined to open in the eye." 



MME. DUCHER-"Very promising. Rich red, large, and of good form." 



STANWELL PERPETUAL— "One of the old favorites which still lingers in places." 



RUGOSA RUBRA— "This beautiful plant ought to find a place in every garden where there is 

 sufficient space for evergreen shrubs. Its lovely clusters of coral-red fruit are quite a 

 feature in shrubbery borders, set off as they are by its deep, glossy green foliage, which 

 is pretty enough in itself, to say nothing of the profusion of crimson-carmine flowers 

 it produces through the Summer. The white variety has not the robust habit of Rugosa 

 rubra, but planted side by side you have a very pleasing contrast." 



MME. GABRIEL L UIZET-" Among Hybrid Perpetuals has advanced most in popular favor." 

 "The best Rose in the show (July 4, 1SS2, at Kensington Gardens)." 



A. K. WILLIAMS— il Surely the finest of all recent introductions." " The greatest acquisition 

 of late years." 



REINE MARIE HENR1ETTE-" For growing under glass this beautiful bright deep colored 

 variety cannot be surpassed." [We have grown blooms as large as any produced by Paul 

 Neyron, of superb finish.]
