THE FLORAL WORLD AND GARDEN GDIDE.

The lists already received comprise those of Messrs. Ducher; 
Joseph Schwartz, successor to Griiillot Pore ; and Liabaud. All of 
these are Lyons raisers, of fair repute ; the first and last having 
given us some good roses — the second liaving succeeded to an esta- 
blishment of the highest character. AVithout wasting time, we shall 
give a literal translation of their own descriptions : — 
DTTCHEE. — TEAS. 
Aureus. — Plant of moderate vigour ; branches short, strong ; 
flowers medium, full, well-formed ; copper yellow ; very eflective. 
Ophelia . — Plant very vigorous ; flowers medium, full, well- 
formed ; clear yellow ; very fine. 
Helvetia. — Plant very vigorous ; branches strong, upright ; 
flowers large, very full, well-formed ; salmon, centre rosy peach. 
These read promising ; but, bearing in mind how seldom any 
acquisition is brought forth in teas, they must be looked for rather 
with hope than lively expectation. 
nTBRID PEEPETEALS. 
Maria Therha. — Very vigorous; globular; very full, well- . 
formed ; flowering freely. The colour is omitted in this description. 
Jean Dalmais. — Very vigorous; very large, fuU, well-shaped; 
clouded rose ; very fine. 
JOSEPH SCHWAETZ. — HYBEID PEEPETEALS. 
Olga Marix. — Very vigorous ; branches upright ; foliage deep 
green ; five to seven leaflets ; flowers medium, full, well- shaped ; 
superb flesh-white. 
Perfection des Blanches. — Vigorous ; upright ; shining green 
foliage ; medium, full, well-shaped ; pure white ; magnificent. 
LTABAED. — HTBEID PEHPETEALS. 
Baronne Vittat. — Vigorous, strong, erect; copious foliage, clear 
green ; very large, full, globular; flesh-rose; magnificent. 
Madame Bival-Veme. — Very vigorous ; slightly branching; strong 
and numerous spines ; very ample foliage, deep green, large, very 
full ; salmon shaded carmine-rose. 
WILLIA5I PAEL. — HTBEID PEEPETEALS. 
We turn from these a little more hopefully to Mr. William Paul’s 
New Eoses for ISfd, certain that we have to deal with a conscien- 
tious master of the hybridizing art. They are as follows : — 
Diana. — Fine, clear, deep pink, of cupped form ; large, and very 
double. A good, hardy rose, with handsome glossy foliage. 
Peach Blossom. — Delicate peach-blossom, a new and most de- 
sirable colour amongst hybrid perpetuals; large, full, and of fine 
shape ; growth vigorous. 
St. Oeorge. — Blackish crimson ; large, full, of good form, and 
foliage fine. A splendid new dark rose. 
We have here at least no exaggerated and high-flown descrip- 
tions, and may, therefore, more confidently trust to their truth.
