NEW ROSES OF 1864 AND 1865.

The following Rowe of the above two years are the
best of such as I have proved, and they are good.

Roses of 1864.—Madame Victor Vardier, fine bright
crimson ; Pierre Notting, claret red. These are the
two best of 1864. Lord Macaulay, rich dark crimson of
Ann substance; Maroon° Pelletan daßinkeliu, very dark
blackish crimson, the beat new dark rose; Lord Herbert,
light crimson, and Inn; George Prince, fine red; Leo.
pold Premier, scarlet crimson, handsome; Ls Dnobeese
IIFIFtty, pure role; Eugene Verdier, violet crimsoo,
floe; "L'ord Clyde, crimson scarlet, of fine substance, and
Madame Dineux Doftville, run reee. They appear to
be good growers, and of good general habits.
Roots of I.B6s.—Madame Moreau, very large and fine,
lustrous crimson; Rushton Radclyffe, cherry red, largo,
of perfect shape, and fine; Duchene de Caylua, paro.
crimson, of fine outline and folding, a first class rose,
and winner of the let prise (silver medal) at Paris, last
summer; Duo de Wellington, velvety erireson, clerk
shaded, of great substance, a fill, pp, ; Madlle. Amelia
Hselphen, crimson, a fir 13 rose ; °enrol d'Hautfould,
riot crimson, globular. and good ; Achille Gonad,
deepish red, fine, a good grower, healthy, and of erect
habit. For atilt' flower stem, it is the best of the years
of 1964 and 1865. Elisabeth Vigneron (W. Paul), soft
rose and silvery, in the line of Louise Perrouny and
Leslie, but a better grower; Souvenir de Wm. Wood,
dark blackiahorhuson, in the line of Prince Camille de
Robes, handsome and efflorescent. The above can be
recommended. The following rows of 1865, will proba-
bly turn out to be good another year. New roses do
not always oome out in their true form the first lesson,
especially in such s torrid and fungoid season as the
last. The roses referred to are Einem Ace (Cran.ton);
Chiudea Margottio ; Goobers de Medina; ; Emilf
Boyau, and Princeie Lichtenstein, white.—Tarrant
