a vigorous system of selection, and allow to pass out of their hands 
many that are worthless. 
Referring to my notes I find the undermentioned of those now 
being distributed for the first time, to be well worth the attention 
of the rosarian who is of a speculative turn. 
Alexander Bichson (H.P.) — A fine rose, raised by Mr. Dickson, 
of Dublin. It is large, perfect in form, and exceedingly attractive ; 
colour rose-lilac. 
Bessie Johnson (H.P.) — This is an English raised rose of con- 
siderable excellence ; flowers pale blusb, very large, of good form, 
aud delightfully fragrant. 
Bouquet d'Or (Noisette). — Flowers large, full, and of good 
form; colour yellow with copper centre; a good buttonhole rose 
when in the bud. 
Cheshunt Hqbrid (Tea). — A very distinct and beautiful English 
raised rose. It is a seedling from Madame de Tartas, a little known 
tea-scented variety, crossed with a hybrid perpetual. It is assuredly 
a grand rose, for the flowers, whilst of the rich dark colour aud 
fine form of the hybrid perpetual, possess the delicate perfume of 
the tea rose. In vigour of growth it is equal to Blairi No. 2, so that 
it will be a most valuable climbing rose. 
Claude Level (H.P.) — Flowers large, full, and of good form; 
colour rich carmine-red ; very promising. 
Feliden David (H.P.) — Flowers large and full, red-crimson; 
vigorous and free flowering. 
Firebrand (H.P.) — Flowers very large, full, and circular in out- 
line ; colour blackish maroon with fiery red centre. An English 
raised rose of great excellence, and remarkable for the vigour of its 
growth. 
Madame Caroline Kuster (Noisette). — Flowers large, full, and 
globular ; colour yellow’-shaded orange ; very free flowering aud of 
good habit. 
Madame Denis (Tea-scented). — Flowers of good size and full ; 
colour white, tiuged with yellow in the centre ; very desirable. 
Madame Docteur Jutte (Tea-scented). — Flowers of medium size 
and full ; colour rich yellow ; highly fragrant, and free flowering. 
Madame Francoise Jamin (Tea-scented). — Flowers of medium 
size and full ; colour coppery-yellow ; very sweet and vigorous. 
Madame Lacharme (H P.) — This was described as a pure 
white hybrid perpetual, and as such would have been most valuable, 
but it is shaded with pink when in a young state ; nevertheless it is 
a flue rose. 
Madame Marius Cote (H.P.) — Flowers large and of excellent 
form ; colour reddish-rose. 
Perle de Blanches (H.P.) — Flowers of medium size and good 
form ; pure white, desirable. 
Pierre Seletzsky (H.P.) — Flowers large and reflexed; colour 
deep purplish-red ; attractive and promising. 
Unique Jmine (Noisette). — Flowers of medium size ; colour cop- 
pery yellow painted with red ; very vigorous in growth, and 
distinct.
