purple violet, shaded with black, blooming in clusters ; very

7. Adolphe Nohlet, H.P. (Ledechaux). — Vigorous ; flowers 
medium size, well formed and slightly cupped, brilliant light

L’Exposition. 
Of these Francois Lacharme, Olivier Delhomme, Viscomte Vigier, 
and Vulcain, were said to be the best. 
Monsieur Margottin, of Bourg la Reine, has but three to send 
out; and these all I have, as I have said, seen in bloom. 
The best rose probably of this season is—

grower; flowers large, full, and well made; fine bright 
crimson, shaded with velvet black. Also,

yet out. It obtained the first prize for seedlings and silver 
medal at the Exhibition of the Imperial Society of Horti¬ 
culture at Paris, in June, 1860.

shaped, standing very erect, and an improved Souvenir des
