/T is surprising that so noble a flower, almost ri^alinff the rose 
in brilliancy of color and perfection of bloom, should not be 
planted more. Amateurs and dealers seem to have lost sight 
of the many improved varieties introduced Itfiibin the last fe'tt? 
years. The first point is their hardiness; in the se^terest climate 
the plants require no other protection than that 1»hich they afford 
themselves. They thrive in almost every soil or situation, and 
ivhen planted in large clumps on the Wk^n make a magnificent dis- 
play of flowers and foliage. Some of the "barieties are Ifery frag- 
rant. The following six Varieties vjill, I am sure, prove "hery 
satisfactory
