 the same claim is made for others, this variety is j 

 the darkest. !

Queen Mab (China. Wm. Paul)— This variety belongs 

 to the decorative and button-hole class of roses, of 

 which Ma Capucine and Madame Laurette Messimy

 petals of the flowers, the latter quality enabling it

 acquainted with. The color may be described as 

 soft, rosy apricot, the center of the flower shaded
