as many prize stands as the leading flower. Souvenir de S. A. 
Prince, Mme. Cusin, Mme. Bravy, and Anna Ollivier were also 
unusually well shown. To several fine Teas the season, however, 
proved very unfavourable, viz., Comtesse de Nadaillac, Innocente 
Pirola, Niphetos, Caroline Kuster (N.), Francisca Kruger, Princess 
of Wales, and Mme. Lambard, 
Turning now from the established varieties to the newer ones. 
Of the two 1887 varieties, Madame Hoste just manages to maintain 
its former position, while Ethel Brownlow has made splendid 
progress, rising from No. 20 to No. 14, and being as often staged as 
Madame Cusin, although also in unusually good form. On the other 
hand, Ernest Metz (No 14), sent out by Guillot in 1888, was only 
half as frequently shown this year as in 1893. Souvenir de S. A. 
Prince, first distributed by Mr. G. Prince in 1889, has risen two 
places, and was to be found in as many prize stands as the variety 
from which it sported—Souvenir d’un Ami. I am surprised that 
Cleopatra, another 1889 variety sent out by Bennett, should still 
remain so low on the list—at No. 25. No doubt its great drawback 
has been its generally slender growth. The plants of this fine 
English Tea have, however, done so remarkably well during the 
past summer that it is to be hoped that in a few years’ time it may 
occupy the position to which it is entitled. 
Comparing the present analysis with that of 1886 it will be 
found that the following grand Teas have since then been added to 
the list :—The Bride (No. 3), Souvenir de S. A. Prince (No. 8), 
Ernest Metz, and Ethel Brownlow (No. 14), Mme. Hoste (No. 16), 
and Cleopatra (No. 25). 
My thanks, and those of your readers, are again due to all those 
who year after year so kindly assist me, often at personal incon¬ 
venience to themselves, in taking down the names of the Koses 
in the winning stands. 
I append as usual a select list of varieties that I can strongly 
recommend for general cultivation. With the exception of those 
under the heading of “ Garden Roses ” they are also among the 
choicest of our exhibition Roses. They are arranged according to 
colour in the order in which they appear in the tables.
