 Harney,' * White Lady,' and * Yvonne Gravier' ; straw-colour and yellow, 

 'Madame Chedane-Guinoisseau,' 'Madame C. P. Strassheim ' (extra- 

 ordinarily free in bloominpf), * Madame Hoste,' ' Marie van Houtte,' and 



* Sulphurea ' ; oranf,'e-yellow and huff, ' Alexandra,' * Goldfju(;lle,' 



* IMadame Charles,' * Madame Falcot,' ' Safrano,' * Souvenir de Catherine 

 Guillot ' (ma^mificent), and 'Souvenir de William Rohinson ' (tintfid) ; 

 pink and rose-colour, ' Pioadicoa,' '(irand Due Adolphe de Luxendjourg,' 

 ' Grande Duchesse Anastasie,' ' Madame Jules Grolez,' and ' Kainhow ' ; 

 salmon-rose and red, ' Empress Alexandra of Russia,' 'Fcirdinand Jamin,' 

 ' Madame Abel Chatenay,' ' Madame; Lamhard,' * Morning' Glow,' 

 ' Safrano a fleurs rouges,' * Salmonea,' and ' Souvesnir de J. B. Guillot ' ; full 

 rad, ' Comtesse Festetics Hamilton' (a ma^^niificent metallic sliade of 

 colour), 'Francis Dubreuil ' (deep red), 'General Schablikine;,' 'Marquise 

 Litta,' ' Marquise de Salisbury ' (very brilliant), 'Marie d'Orleans,' and 

 ' Papa Gontier.' 



The third ^^roup, varieties of vigorous growth, will consist of a few of 

 the stronger-growing Ten, Roses and Hybrid Teas, together with the 

 Hybrid Perpetuals and Bourbons. Here also we have a very birge selec- 

 tion, from which the following Jippear to me some of the best for autumn 

 flowering: — White and nejirly white, 'Augustine Guinoisseau ' and 

 ' Viscountess Folkestone ' ; yellow, ' Madame Pernet Ducher' ; pink and 

 rose-colour, ' Aurora,' ' Belle Siebrecht,' ' Camoens,' ' Caroline Testout ' 

 (extra fine), ' Ducliessof Albany,' ' Grace Darling,' ' La France,' ' Madame 

 Wagram,' 'Marie Finger,' 'Marquise de Castellane,' 'Mrs. John Laing,' 

 and 'Victor Verdier ' ; red and crimson, ' Alfred Colomb,' ' Comte de 

 Raimbaud,' ' Corallina ' (extra fine), ' Ella Gordon,' ' J^xfpiisite,' 'Fisher 

 Holmes,' ' Gloire des Rosamanes,' ' La France de '89,' ' Louis van 

 Houtte,' 'Madame Isaac Pereire,' 'Madame Victor Verdier,' ' Flrich 

 Brunner fils,' and ' Victor Hugo.' Of these last ' Fisher Holmes,' ' Louis 

 van Houtte,' and ' Victor Hugo ' are of somewhat less vigorous growth 

 than the others. To this group also belong the Rugosa Roses, the 

 Perpetual Moss, the Perpetual Scotch, and the ClynopliylLa duplex: 

 these form strong bushes, but from their distinct foliage and general 

 appearance should be planted by themselves. Of the Rugosas, good 

 autumnals are the single red and white, ' Belle Poitevine ' (rose-colour), 

 ' lUanc double de Coubert ' (white), ' Fimbriata ' (fringed white Howers), 

 and the Hybrid ' Mme. Georges Bruant.' This last is one of the most 

 beautiful white Roses in existence, the flowers being of the purest white, 

 and produced in great abundance both in summer and autunm. 



In the fourth group, varieties of semi-climbing and climbing habits, 

 we have the best varieties for forming large single bushes or pillars, or 

 for covering arches, or even for planting in masses where bold grouping 

 is desired. We have not (juite so large a choice of good autumnals here 

 as in the previous groups, but the following are all excellent : — White, 



* Madame Alfred Carriere ' ; yellow, ' Celine Forestier,' ' Gustave Regis,' 

 and ' Billiard and Barre ' (very rich) ; buff and coppery tints, * Dcsprez a
