ROSACE AS. 
Rosa indica niveal —White Noisette Rose. This has been im¬ 
ported by Mr. Dennis, of Chelsea, from France, under the name of 
Amie Vibert, and is doubtless a hybrid production : most probably 
originated between Rosa indica and Moschata. It requires a rich 
loamy soil, is increased by cuttings, and requires the same treatment 
as the Noisette Rose. It is an extremely free floweret', often bearing 
from forty to fifty blossoms in a cluster, and on account of most of 
the young shoots running to flower, cuttings are obtained with diffi¬

yellow. It forms a small shrub, and is copiously studded with glands, 
which give out, especially in the dried state, an agreeable balsamic 
odour. It is a native of Chile, and was raised from seeds received 
in 1832, by Messrs. Allan and Rogers, of Battersea. The plant suc¬ 
ceeds best in a light loamy soil, and may be increased by cuttings, 
or by seeds. It requires the protection of a pit, or frame in winter.

Pyrus crenata. —Crenated Bean Tree. This is one of the trees 
that, along with the P. lanata or Kamunensis, which is a mere va¬ 
riety of Pyrus Aria, recalls to the mind of the British traveller upon 
the mountains of India his own land, and the sweet scenery of the 
West of England. Nature seems to have intended it to brave the 
utmost inclemency of climate : for in its own country, in the earliest
