NEW ROSES.

Golden Gate. — Tea. An American variety with large shell 

 petals of a lovely cream colour tinged with rose. Perhaps one 

 cannot call it an exhibition variety, but it certainly is worth 

 cultivating for garden decoration. 



Souvenir de Madame Antoine Levet. — Tea. In the way of 

 William Allen Richardson, but of dwarf habit. It would make 

 a splendid variety for massing. The flower is more perfect in 

 form than William Allen Richardson. 



Madame Pemet-Ducher. — Tea. An exceedingly free-bloom- 

 ing variety. The buds are of a canary yellow colour, but the 

 expanded flower is almost pure white. A grand garden variety. 



Grand Due A. de Luxembourg. — H.T. This can be best 

 described as a dark-coloured Viscountess Folkestone. The colour 

 is rosy red, reverse of petals a brilliant lake, a most peculiar 

 yet withal attractive combination. It is a variety I can confi- 

 dently recommend for garden decoration. 



Maman Cocliet. — Tea. One of the best Tea roses distributed 

 for several years. It has been grandly exhibited this year, 

 nearly every stand containing a specimen. The colour is a 

 lovely flesh ; outer petals often a deep rose. The great charm of 

 this variety is its extraordinarily deep petal, surpassing in this 

 respect any other rose I know of. It is a great advance upon 

 Catherine Mermet for outdoor cultivation, the growth being 

 strong with good thick wood. 



Corinna. — Tea. Flesh-coloured shaded with rose, suffused with 

 a warm flush of tawny copper. An exceedingly attractive variety, 

 and it has been seen in several first-prize stands this year. 



G. Nabonnand. — Tea. A variety of great merit for garden 

 decoration. It is not very double, but the petal is very large, of 

 a clear satiny rose shaded with yellow, and the buds are very 

 handsome. 



Madame Jules Finger. — H.T. A seedling from Lady Mary 

 Fitzwilliam. Colour creamy white ; very double, and will, I 

 believe, make a grand exhibition flower. 



Madame Joseph Courbet. — H.T. A very double, bold flower of 

 Gloire Lyonnaise colour. It is certain to be much sought after 

 by exhibitors. 



Marquise Lita. — H.P. A splendid novelty in the way of La 

 Fraicheur, but of better growth and deeper colour. The centre 

 of the flower is of a deep vermilion, merging to carmine rose on
