Delhonnne, Maurice Bemardiu, and Prince Cainille de Eohan 

 are all fine roses now. Beauty of Waltliam, one of the earliest 

 of the red English-raised roses, was of this year, to he followed 

 in 1862 by John Hopper, and in the spring of 1863 the seed-bed 

 companion of Beauty of Walthani, our Lord Clyde. 



1863 gave us our freest dark roses, Madame Victor Yerdier 

 and Pierre Xotting — also that fine rose on the briar, La 

 Duchesse de Morny. 



1861 differs in bringing specially bright roses — Dr. Andry 

 perhaps the best red rose we have. Duke of Wellington, Xavier 

 Olibo, and Duchesse de Caylus — all Jacqueminot seedlings. Of 

 the Jules Margottin race, we have Marguerite de St. Amand 

 and Princess Mary, but the year's special product was the dis- 

 covery at Montauban of Marechal Xiel. 



1865 was " Alfred Colomb's " year — perhaps Lacharme's 

 finest H.P. rose. Marie Bady, Cainille Bernardin, and Fisher 

 Holmes almost complete our collection of red roses. 



1866, Annie "Wood, Horace Yernet, Mrs. Geo. Paul, Mons. 

 Xoinan, and Paul Yerdier. 



Of 1S67 and spring of 1868, seven years after " Charles 

 Lefebvre's year, I naturally think highly, as in that season I sent 

 out Duke of Edinburgh, a gain worth winning. Lacharme carried 

 to their utmost his hybrid Noisettes in Boule de Xeige ; Pernet 

 gave us Baroness Rothschild ; Guillot, La France. Miss Ingram 

 was the English rose and made a great sensation. In this year 

 the first break in new Teas also occurred with Jean Pemet and 

 Pieine de Portugal. 



1868 gave us only Dupuy Jamain. Edouard Morren, Henri 

 Ledechaux, Emily Hausberg, dull hardy flowers, brilliantly fol- 

 lowed in 



1869 by a long list — Comtesse d'Oxford, Mdlle. Eugenie 

 Yerdier, Louis Yan Houtte, Marquise de Castellane, and certainly 

 not least amongst roses, Paul Xeron. 



1870 was the French war year. The first of the climbing 

 H.P. sports appeared with our climbing Y. Yerdier. 



1871 gave us only four first-class Hybrids— Etienne Levet, 

 F. Michelon, Princess Beatrice, and Madame H. Jamain. 



1872 was a year of light roses— Madame Lacharme, Marie 

 Cointet, Princess Beatrice ; and Teas again advanced with Anna 

 Olivier and Perle de Lyon.
