Here it will be noticed how facile princeps among useful 

 Eoses stands La France, the only wonder being that it did not 

 receive the full number of 64 possible votes. In my own opinion, 

 for cut Roses for house decoration La France is a perfect Saul, 

 not only amongst H.P.s, but amongst all Eoses — a head and 

 shoulders above all its brethren— and only approached by such 

 as the Common Pink China Monthly Eose, Mrs. Bosanquet, 

 Gloire de Dijon, and, if it had but a little scent, Souvenir de la 

 Malmaison. And I cannot but think, if a little more stress 

 had been put upon the word "useful," that Captain Christy, 

 Charles Lefebvre, Marie Baumann, Marquise de Castellane, Alfred 

 Colomb, Duke of Wellington, and certainly Earl of Pembroke, 

 would have taken higher place than they do.
