Fisher Holmes. Deep glowing crimson; large, full and 
of fine imbricated form ; a superb rose, and sometimes 
called " an improved Gen. Jacqueminot." 
Francois Levet. Cherry rose ; finely shaped ; a desir- 
able variety. 
General Jacqueminot. Brilliant crimson; alai-geand 
beautiful flower. Excellent for forcing purposes, as 
well as the most generally grown hardy rose. Years 
of endeavor have failed to produce a variety to sup- 
plant this old standard, first introduced in 1853. 
General Washington. Bright reddish crimson; large, 
very full and of flattened form ; a fine rose. 
Keinricli Schultheis. A grand rose for the south ; rich 
crimson, and very double. 
' John Hopper. Pine rosy crimson, back of the petals 
I fine lilac; large and full, and one of the best roses. 
' Jules Margrottin. Bright cherry red, full; a free 
bloomer and vigorous grower; one of the old standard 
sorts. 
La France. One of the most beautiful constant-bloom- 
ing Hybrid Perpetual roses ; often classed with the Hy- 
brid Teas. The flowers and buds are of immense size, 
1 and especially elegant form ; a lovely shade of peach 
blossom, changing to rose ; deliciously fragrant, with 
a scent all its own. It commences to bloom soon after 
planting out, and continues all summer, constantly of- 
fering its magnificent flowers. Also an excellent va- 
riety for greenhouse culture.
