A New Rose 
— — Madame

The Rose had been wash’d, just washed 
with a shower, 
nd it seemed to a fanciful view 
0 weep for the buds it had left with 
regret 
'n the flourishing bush where it grew.” 
William Cowper. 
Judging from the name of this new 
Rose it was raised by MM. Soupert et 
Notting. A fine bloom of it was exhibited 
by Messrs. Frank Cant and Co., Brais- 
wick Rose Gardens, Colchester, at the 
great exhibition of the National Rose 
Society on the 4th inst. The bloom is 
ot good average size, with straight, 
smooth, and beautifully formed petals. 
The outer ones when folded back are of 
a creamy yellow, while the inner ones 
are darker and tinted with salmon and 
apricot towards the base. When seen in 
fresh form, as on this occasion, it stands 
out distinctly amongst all other blooms 
on the show-board as something distinct 
from any yellow suitable for exhibition 
in the form of cut blooms. It is not 
listed in the catalogue of the firm at our 
command, so that we presume it is quite 
new. We do not remember having seen 
it exhibited before. Those on the out¬ 
look for something distinct would find it 
in this beautiful, smooth, and regularly 
formed Rose.

Pine Apple Cloth. 
The celebrated Pine Apple cloth of the 
Philippines, resembling the finest muslin, 
is woven with the delicate fibres of the 
uncultivated Pine Apple plant.

MAMIE. 
The above variety is a Hybrid Tea, but 
ears a considerable resemblance to one 
elonging to the Hybrid perpetual class, 
rough the resemblance is chiefly in the 
eautiful form of the flower. The broad 
uter petals are folded back, just exhibit- 
rg the firm and conical centre. The 
hole bloom is nearly of uniform rosy 
armine, with a distinct yellow zone at 
le base of the petals, though while the 
loom is still quite fresh the yellow is 
lostly hidden. It is chiefly valuable for 
xhibition purposes on account of its 
eautiful form and clear colour. Several 
erv handsome blooms of it appeared in 
le stands of the exhibits at Regent s 
ark on the 4th inst. on the occasion of 
le National Rose Society s Exhibition. 
)ne of the finest blooms we noted was 
rat in the stand of Messrs. B. R. Cant 
nd Sons, The Old Rose Gardens, Col- 
nester, and is here represented. It was 
riginally put into commerce about six 
ears ago, that is 1901, and is now finding 
s way into gardens, especially where 
.oses are grown for exhibition. The 
looms open regularly, so that the variety 
roves constant and reliable under a 
ariety of conditions and seasons. 
Scented Butterflies. 
The common blue butterfly, says a 
writer in the “Tatler,” has a delicate and 
faint odour of fresh earth. “ Didonis”- 
has a slightly musty smell, another is 
scented with Violets, and the tiny white 
butterfly has the smell of Syringa 
flowers. The milkweed butterfly, on the 
other hand, is very unpleasant.
