NEW WORK ON THE ROSE. 
The Rose ; Us History , Poetry , Culture , and Classification . 
By S. B. Parsons. New-York: Wiley & Putnam, pp . 
280, royal octavo, with Colored Engravings . 
A HANDSOME octavo volume, fully redeeming the promise of 
its title-page, which the reader will have noted takes in a wide 
field bf practical and classical information. With the practical part 
of his subject, the culture and classification of the Rose, and with 
its history lo some extent, we expected to fin'd the author some¬ 
what familiar, seeing that he is a well known and successful culti¬ 
vator. But even in these respects, he has snown an amount of 
knowledge which we scarcely supposed any individual could have 
brought to their elucidation; while in the literature of the rose, so 
to speak, he has brought together such numerous tributes to its 
beauty, fragrance and emblematical character, as prove no mean 
acquaintance with the best poets. Indeed, his volume is at once 
agreeable, instructive, and curious, a very pleasant companion lo 
the mere reader, while to the amateur and the professed’ cultiva¬ 
tor of this most beautiful of Flora’s gifts, it will be invaluable.— 
N . Y . Commercial Advertiser 
Altogether this may-be considered the most agreeable and com¬ 
plete work on the rose in.the English language. The author has 
not only collected and arranged all of most interest and value that 
has hitherto been written pn this subject, . but he has interwoven 
through the volume a good deal of interesting information, drawn 
from his own experience and observation, wnich has not before 
been given to the public. The volume is not simply a practical 
treatise for the rose cultivator, but a pleasant contribution to the 
library of the scholar, or the book-tahle of the lady’s boudoir. 
The volume contains colored plates of two of the new Roses 
which have elicited most admiration within the last three years— 
La Reine and Chromatella .— Horticulturist . 
We regret that this beautiful and really valuable volume did not 
arrive while we had room for a notice worthy of its claims to pub¬ 
lic favor. All that romance, poetry, and science have endowed 
the Rose with—all that philosophers have found, and lovers fan¬ 
cied, and ladies felt, about this garner of sweet associations, is 
here set forth, and worthily; while on two shining pages the 
beauty herself appears, fairly mirrored in her most magnificent as 
pect, and seeming only to ask the plucking. We love the book.—

NORMAN. 
'THIS celebrated horse will stand the ensuing season at the stable 
A of James Rice, in Germondville, three miles north of the vil¬ 
lage of Lansin.gburgh Norman is a beautiful dapple grey, 15f 
hands high, strongly made, and finely proportioned. He combines 
first rate trotting qualities, and great powers of endurance, with un¬ 
surpassed gentleness and docility. His colts are justly celebrated 
for speed, bottom and good temper—are eagerly sought after in the 
market, and command prices ranging from $150 to $500 The 
very high reputation of Norman’s stock as “ road horses,” and the 
extraordinary prices they command, renders him by far the most 
profitable horse to breed from of any in the country. Gentlemen 
sending mares from a distance, may rest assured that they will 
have guch attendance and keeping as the owners desire, and upon 
the most reasonable terms The Horse will be under the charge of 
his former owner. Terms —$10 the season Insurance to be agreed 
upon. Communications addressed, I. T. GRANT, P. M., Junc¬ 
tion, Rensselaer county, will receive prompt attention.
