THE FLORIST AND POMOLOGIST. 
was sent out during the past spring; and is said to be one of the hardiest of the 
Noisettes, and a free bloomer. Of a rich golden yellow colour, with stout 
petals, and fine contour, it is altogether a splendid flower, bidding fair to 
supersede Cloth of Gold. It was seen to great advantage in the stand with 
which Messrs. Paul & Son took first honours for ninety-six varieties, which 
also contained Fran90is Louvat, crimson, shaded with lilac, hardy in constitu¬ 
tion, and a free bloomer ; Leopold Premier, a bright deep red, large and double; 
Eugene Verdier, a rich violet, large, full, globular, a strong grower, and not 
liable to “ burn” as some of the dark-coloured kinds; Lselia, silver-shaded, a 
fine double Rose; Lord Herbert, bright rosy carmine; Senateur Favre, a deep 
crimson, grand in shape, with a thick petal; and Emotion, a large white, 
beautifully tinted with rose colour. This, although catalogued as a Bourbon, 
is, we understand, a cross between a Hybrid Perpetual and a Bourbon, and the 
exhibitors propose that, with others of the same origin, it shall be relegated to 
a distinct class, to be denominated Hybrid Bourbons. Among later acquisi¬ 
tions, the most noteworthy were Alphonse Damaizin, a weak grower, which, 
under favourable conditions, is magnificent; Marechal Vaillant; Pierre Notting ; 
Due de Rohan; General Jacqueminot; and Madame Victor Verdier. The
