69 
President Lincoln— Dark crimson, medium size, rich. A most prolific bloomer and should be in every 
collection. Hardy and a fair grower. 
Perl« des Blanches— Vigorous, very large and full, well-formed ; white center, changing to flesh color. 
Richard Smith— Velvety maroon ; very dark. 
Reine Blanche— Pure white, beautifully cupped. Exceedingly beautiful both in bud and bloom 
>tar of Waltham— Carmine-crimson, medium or large size ; semi-globular, full. Foliage very large. 
Smooth green wood, with occasional red thorns. 
Sir Garnet Wolseley — Vermilion, shaded with bright carmine. Color well maintained throughout.

Victor Verdier — Clear rose, globular, fine form and free bloomer. Superb.

HYBRID TEA ROSES. 
These are produced by crossing Tea Roses and Hybrid Perpetuals. La France is of this class, and is 
probably more highly prized than any other Rose. They are not quite as robust as the Hybrid Perpetua.s 
but sufficiently so to endure our climate with a little protection in winter. 
Captain Christy — Very tender, flesh colored, center of deeper tint; very large,Centifolia Rose-shaped; fine. 
Charles Margottin— A seedling from Jules Margot tin, reddish crimson ; form semi-cupped, very large 
fuil and sweet, retains color well and is a very fine bloomer ; foliage slightly crimped. 
Cheshunt Hybrid— Cherry carmine, with a shade of violet; flowers large, full, slightly fragrant. A fine 
bloomer in Spring, but not in Autumn ; distinct and fine. 
Countess of Roseberry — Victor Verdier type. Cherry red ; a good color ; large, full, cupped ; not fra- 
grant ; smooth wood, handsome foliage ; promising. 
Duke of Connaught — Bright crimson, changing to reddish crimson ; large, full flowers, without fra- 
grance. A showy, good Rose, both in bud and flower. 
Duchess of Connaught — Silvery rose, of large globular form, highly scented. Both in color and fra 
grance this variety resembles La France, but the flowers are more circular and the foliage larger. 
If it proves sufficiently distinct from La France, it will be a great addition. 
Duchess of Westminster— Carmine-rose, large, full flowers, with a faint Tea odor. This retains very 
nearly the same shade of colors as Marquise de Castellane, which is not common among the Teas. 
La France— Delicate silvery rose ; erv large and full ; an almost constant bloomer, equal in delicacy to 
a Tea Rose ; the most pleasing fragrance of all roses ; a moderate grower ; semi- hardy. 
Jean Sisley — Lilac-rose; large or very large; very full, without fragrance. A very free bloomer, always 
in flower, but having too much substance it is not valuable for forcing, the buds not opening well; 
probably it will be more valuable for open air culture than for the house. 
Michael Saunders— Free or moderate. Bronzed rose, a distinct color ; large, beautifully-formed flow- 
ers, which, from their great fullness, do not always open well under glass, but are fine in open air; 
somewhat fragrant. 
Nancy Lee— Satiny rose, of a very delicate and lovely shade. Beautiful buds, of medium size, highly 
perfumed ; growth slender. 
Pierre Guillot— Bright dazzling crimson, passing to brilliant carmine; petals beautifully veined with 
pure white ; flowers very double and full ; a free bloomer and very sweet. 
Viscountess Falmouth— (Seeded from President, fertilized with Moss Rose Soupert Notting). Flowers 
extra large and full, splendid form, color delicate pinkish rose, back of petals bright carmine. This 
color overlapping the other, gives it a most lovely appearance ; very distinct and beautiful. It is a 
constant bloomer and very fragrant.

are continual bloomers, of vigorous, rapid growth, with rich, luxuriant foliage.

Sir J. Paxton— Deep rose, shaded with crimson ; very strong grower, fine rich foliage and free bloomer. 
Souvenir de la Malmaison— Pale flesh, with a fawm shade ; very large, full, beautiful
