AMERICAN BEAUTY. (Hybrid Remontant.) This is an American production introduced in 1885 and is a valuable and desirable variety, and does well when grown in the house or planted out on the rose border or bed. Its flowers are very fragrant and is therefore valuable for cutting either in winter or summer.

ANNIE DE DIESBACH. (Hybrid Remontant.) Introduced in 1858 it is one of the very best of this color, a beautiful shade of carmine. It is a seedling raised from LaReine and is very fragrant and hardy. A valuable garden variety and should be extensively planted. It does equally as well when grown in the house and forced into early blooming, it gives an abundance of the choicest flowers.

BALTIMORE BELLE. (Climbing Prairie Rose.) This is not quite so hardy as its near relative, the Queen, though sufficiently so to withstand all ordinary winters and is really a very desirable variety. Grown alone or with the Queen of Prairies it produces, with its immense clusters of flowers, a pleasing effect. The flowers are white, witfl a tinge of pink in the centre. Supports or trellises should be provided for these and in pruning do it very sparingly removing only a few of the shoots. When the flowering season is over it is well to remove the old flower stems as they produce an unsightly effect. This and Queen of Prairies are and should be extensively planted everywhere.

BLANCHE MOREAU. (Moss.) This is known as a perpetual moss, and has all the characteristics of the other mosses except that it blooms in the autumn, and is therefore valuable in prolonging the flowering season. The chief beauty of all moss roses are in the buds and, while these varieties which bloom in the autumn do not give as many buds as those which bloom only in the summer months, they still are very valuable in producing these flowers. They need high culture and rather close pruning early in the spring.

CAPRICE. (Hybrid Remontant.) An American production raised by Jas. Vick in 1889 from seed of Arch duchess d' Autriche. This is very distinct in its flowers which are produced in the greatest profusion. Caprice is the only hardy rose that has any variegation in its flowers. This is distinctly striped, and is very showy and beautiful. It deserves to be largely grown.

CATHERINE MERMET. (Tea Rose.) This is one of the strongest growers and free blooming of all the Teas. It is admirably adapted to planting out in beds, or masses, and is equally valuable as a pot variety, to bloom through the winter months, in the house. The colors are very delicate and rich and the perfume or fragance very fine. This has the same silvery lustre seen in the La France, but in few others. The buds of this variety are faultless in form and much sought after.

CHARLES LEFEBVRE. (Hybrid Remontant.) What a charming rose is this ! large size, hardly any thorns; surely this is the ideal rose. Introduced in 1861 and supposed to be a cross between Gen. Jacqueminot and Victor Verdier. Few roses are so brilliant as this. It succeeds generally and is greatly admired everywhere.

CLOTHILDE SOUPERT. (POLYANTHA ROSE.) This belongs to a comparatively new group, from Japan, which now contains many very valuable varieties. They are everblooming, of rather slender growth and dwarf habit, producing an abundance of small beautiful flowers in clusters. As an edging for a bed of roses they produce a very marked effect. Clothilde Soupert has very double beautifully imbricated flowers, like an astor, produced in clusters, and always in bloom. Either buds or fully expanded flowers are always to be had.

COUNTESSE DE SERENYE. (Hybrid Remontant.) Introduced in 1874. This requires, and merits a little extra care. It does not always open well in wet weather but is charming in the fall when others have done blooming. It should have a good open sunny exposure. And then, it is generally satisfactory. Valuable for prolonging the blossoming season and should therefore be universally planted.

GEN. JACQUEMINOT. (Hybrid Remontant.) In 1853 France gave us General Jacqueminot, leader of the hybrid perpetuate, the grand, dark, crimson rose, so sturdy in growth, rich in bloom and powerful in odor. The great half blown/dusky crimson buds have slept on the bosom of every belle since that day, and they have been sold by the hundred for as many dollars to New York dealers, and were retailed, no doubt, for twice that sum. A few days before one Christmas the only Jacqueminot buds to be found in that city were sold to a customer for $15 each, or eight times their weight in gold. —American Review. Hundreds of thousands of feet of glass are devoted to the culture of this one rose for the purpose of forcing it out of season. It is known the world over and succeeds everywhere.
