After this the advertisement came to the publisher withdrawing 
offers to sell it. Since then we have had notes from Peter Hen- 
dersoD, V. H. Hallock, Son, & Thorpe, to the effect that a Tube¬ 
rose under this name was offered to them, and found to be in no 
way different from the Pearl, and suggesting that Nanz & Neuner 
had been victimised. Whether Nanz Sc Neuner had this suspicion 
when making the advertisement above referred to we do not at 
this moment know. For fear there may be something wrong we 
think it due to our readers to make this cautionary signal, as the 
weather men would say.” We join in this caution signal, for 
after all it appears as'if'the reputation for accuracy of description 
and delineation which Messrs. Nanz & Neuner won by the double 
Bouvardia may not be maintained by their Tuberose, and the 
expressive Americanism “ Go Slow ” certainly appears to apply 
in this case. 
- The Journal dcs Boses for January of the present year 
gives a coloured plate of the Rose Boieldieu, a free-flowering 
variety with large, full, bright cherry-red flowers. It was raised 
by M. Margottin of Bourg-la-Reine in 1877, being obtained from 
Fig. 11.—BIGNONIA VENUSTA. 
Jules Margottin crossed with the variety Baronne Provost. It 
was exhibited at Paris in June of the above-named year by the 
raiser, and was then greatly admired. It may be remembered 
that Messrs. W. Paul Sc Son, Waltham Cross, exhibited specimens 
of this Rose at one of the Royal Botanic Society’s shows in 1878, 
when a first-class certificate was awarded for it. 
BIGNONIA VENUSTA. 
The sprays of this beautiful climber shown by Mr. C. Green, 
gardener to Sir George Macleay, Pendell Court, Bletchingley, at 
Kensington recently were greatly admired by all who saw them. 
Flowering at this time of year, and so profusely, its value cannot 
be over-estimated, especially as the colour is so bright and 
effective. The flowers are tubular with five oblong lobes, very 
bright orange in colour, and are produced in terminal axillary 
clusters of several dozens. The truss represented in fig. 11 is one 
of average size, and the beauty of a plant trained to the roof of a 
house and bearing some hundreds of such clusters can well be 
imagined. 
Mr. C. Green has favoured us with the following outline of his 
method of culture The chief requirements of Bignonia 
venusta seem to be a good well-drained border, consisting of turfy
