the outer petals. In a cool season this rose, I believe, "will be 

 grand for exhibitions. 



Souvenir du President Camot. — Tea. Colour rosy flesh 

 shaded with white. Buds long and handsome. A grand 

 variety for forcing. 



Madame Abel Ghdtcnay. — H.T. A novel and charming 

 colour. The buds are of deep rosy carmine, the expanded 

 flowers being shaded with salmon. It is freely produced in 

 large panicles. It appears to combine with its flowers and 

 .growth the good qualities of its parents, Victor Verdier and 

 Dr. Grill. 



Francois Dubreuil. — Tea. Certainly the best red Tea rose yet 

 produced. The expanded flower is almost as large as a Hybrid 

 Perpetual, eminently fitting it for exhibition, and the buds are 

 beautifully formed, resembling a camellia. It is an excellent 

 variety for forcing, and has received an Award of Merit from 

 the R.H.S, 



Clara Watson. — Tea. A seedling of the late Mr. Bennett's 

 raising, and a most excellent variety. The growth is strong and 

 the foliage very handsome. The colour is a beautiful pink 

 shaded with salmon. 



Sylph. — Tea. This splendid novelty was introduced in the 

 spring of 1895, and this season we find it in several first-prize 

 stands. A rose to attain this position the second year after 

 introduction must of necessity be a first-rate variety for the 

 •exhibitor, and 1 can recommend it with every confidence. The 

 habit is much stronger than Souvenir d'Elise Vardon, a variety 

 it somewhat resembles ; the colour is white, tinted with violet 

 and peach — a beautiful blending of colours. 



Madame Eugene B&sal. — China. A seedling from Madame 

 Laurette Messimy. The flowers are much deeper in colour, 

 heing of a beautiful coppery rose, the base of petals orange 

 <colour. A splendid acquisition for the garden.
