these old favorites. 
BANKSIAN KOSES (Roxa nanUsiw). These species 
are not hardy, but are very fine for growing- in green- 
houses or conservatories, where their climbing habit 
renders them especially available for covering walls. 
The flowers are double and fragrant, and freely pro- 
duced. 
White flowers in clusters, very dou- 
Including the Sweet Brier, Austrian and Banksian Roses, etc. 
All the forms here described are beautiful, and worthy of cultivation, although in the search for uoveltv in 
color and form some of them have been overlooked. We have much pleasure in again directing attention to them, 
icuowing all true flower-lovers will find themselves rewarded in cultivating 
AUSTRIAN BRIER ROSES (.B„m lutca). A dis- 
tinct class, of great hardiness, in which are found the 
only really hardy yellow roses known. They are 
thorny, with a slight sweet-brier fragrance. 
Sing-le Tallow. Large deep golden yellow flowers. 
Single Red. Very showy, with bright scarlet flowers 
of velvety texture. 
Harrisonii. Pretty double flowers of rich yellow, pro- 
duced very early : a valuable variety.

gardens ; slender but hardy in growth, bearing a pro- 
fusion of semi-double rich yellow flowers ; very fine and 
rare. 
EGLANTINE or TRUE SWEET BRIER (Rosam- 
biginosa). The true English Sweet Brier; a lovely 
sort, with delicate! pink single flowers, beautiful but 
fleeting. The foliage and growth is extremely fragrant, 
and this is the great charm of the variety.

favorite, with shining bright green foliage. The 
double white form has beautiful creamy white flowers

not too strongly recommend the planting of this hardy 
species.
