* AH'the‘ e Roses marked with an asterisk were not tabulated in the Election oi 1877 : 
received a few votes, but not more than nine—the lowest number . cl eduled. 
they may l ave 
Marie Baumann is again the leading Rose, 
and few of us will grudge her the position 
which most of us consider she deserves. She 
is easily A1 tested by first-class votes, as she 
has sixty-six first-class votes out of the sixty- 
seven voters. Indeed the position of the Roses 
is curiously altered if tested by first-class votes 
only, as shown by this table of the first twenty- 
four—

This is a very rapid falling-off. It is curious 
that with positions altered the first twelve are 
still “all there,” a statement that could not 
be made of the second twelve. 
In this election no note has been made of 
similar, or, as Mr. G. Paul well puts it, “ too 
much alike” Roses. I think in future elections 
this should be done. It has been acted on by 
a few of the electors ; and as connected with 
this subject I print Rev. C. H. Bulmer’s list, the 
vote in each of the synonymes being given to 
the first-named.

Tea Ro s es in this election are omitted as exhibition varie¬ 
ties, not because the best and finest grown are not worthy 
of a place, but because so few exhibit them, while the 
comparative merits of Teas and H.P.’s stand on such 
different ground. Many varieties (H.P.’s) would have 
higher places, only I have given superior rank to those 
more generally exhibited, more constant in flowering, 
and robust in constitution.—C. H. B. 
It is curious to note tbat two of these poll 
the same number of votes—viz., Eugenie Ver¬ 
dier and Marie Finger ; and that the latter, 
which I for one consider the more robust, is 
steadily ousting its more aged rival, as may be 
seen by reference to their relative positions 
in 1877.
