me way of opening as Gloire de
Dijon. A constant bloomer.
6. Clothilde Soupert. A polyantha or cluster rose of
vigorous growth and glistening
foliage, quite as hardy as the hybrid
tea. It is of dwarf growth and
suitable for edging beds of larger
roses. The shell-pink flowers are of
good form and very double; as they
cluster very thickly on the ends of
the stems, the buds should be thinned
out, as they have an aggravating
tendency to mildew before opening.
7. Souvenir de President A charming rose with shadows of all
Carnot. the flesh tints, from white through
blush to rose; sturdy and free.
8. Caroline Testout. Very large, round flowers, of a
delicate shell-pink, flushed with
salmon; sturdy.

_Teas_

1. Bon Silene. The old favourite, unsurpassed for
fragrance as a button-hole flower, or
table decoration when blended with
ferns or fragrant foliage plants.
Colour "Bon Silene," tints of shaded
pink and carmine, all its own.
2. Papa Gontier. A rose as vigorous as the hybrid
teas, and one that may be easily
wintered. Pointed buds of deep rose
shading to crimson and as fragrant as
Bon Silene, of which it is a hybrid.
Flowers should be gathered in the bud.
3. Safrano. A true "tea" rose of characteristic
shades of buff and yellow, with the
tea fragrance in all its perfection.
Best in the bud. Vigorous and a fit
companion for Papa Gontier and Bon
Silene.
4. Perle des
