MONTHLY 
EVER-BLOOMING 
ROSES 
Who has not heard of the vale of Cashmere, 
With its Hoses the brightest that earth ever gave?'* 
(It is not generally known that the Monthly Boses are seedlings of the Itosa Indica, the 
Roses that inspired the beautiful lines of Moore quoted above.)

/T in our opinion, the best dozen of ever-blooming and bedding varieties it 
is possible to obtain in that number, all being invaluable for sum¬ 
mer and winter blooming. Space will not permit us to illustrate all of them, 
although each is worthy of it.
