Duchess of Connaught — Silvery rose, of large globular form, highly scented. Both in 
color and fragrance this variety resembles La France, but the dowers arc more circu- 
lar 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 ; very 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 ; more valuable for open air culture than for the 
house. 
Michael Saunders — Free or moderate. Bronzed rose, a distinct color ; large, beautifully 
formed flowers, which, from their great fullness, do not always open well under glass, 
but are tine in open air ; somewhat fragrant. 
Nancy Lee — Satiny rose, of a very delicate and lovely shade. Beautiful buds, of me- 
dium 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, 
Puritan — A beautiful pure white variety of the most delicious fragrance. In size and 
shape of flower it very closely resembles the Hybrid Perpetual class, with the flower- 
ing habit of the ever-blooming section. The' flower is surrounded by a wreath of 
foliage which sets it oil to the best advantage. 
Viscountess Falmouth — (Seeded from President, fertilized with Moss Rose Soupert Hot- 
ting). 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 ap- 
pearance ; very distinct and beautiful. It is a constant bloomer and very fragrant. 
William Francis Bennett — This is a magnificent variety for pot culture or for forcing 
flowers in Winter. It is one of the most popular Roses with the cut flower growers 
for Winter use. The buds are of exquisite shape, long and pointed, like Niplietos, 
and rivaling Gen. Jacqueminot in its rich glowing crimson color. 
BOURBON ROSES. 
These are not quite so hardy as the preceding class, requiring slight protection in 
the North. They are continual bloomers, of vigorous, rapid growth, with rich luxuriant 
foliage. 
Blanche Lafitte — Pale flesh color ; full and beautiful. 
Hermosa — Light blush or flesh color, large, full and double ; grows freely and blooms 
profusely ; fine. 
Louise Odier — Fine bright rose, large, full cupped form. 
Louis Margottin — Delicate satin rose, fine form ; free bloomer, and a superb new rose. 
Omar Pasha — Scarlet crimson, fine and vigorous; one of the very best. 
Queen of the Bourbons — Fawn colored rose, beautiful and profuse bloomer. 
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 fawn shade ; very large, full, beautiful.
