I was informed on State street the other
day, that new line of steamships is at once
to be established between Boston and Livsr-
pool, to consist ct the beginning of three lint
class vessels. The gentleman who informed
me of this fact . man Of good business a.

to the grain trade, and therefore Z

not inquire into the advantages afforded BY
New Orleans before locating in this city %
their place of business; the information they

Yesterday visited the Waban Conservato-
ries at Wellesley, whose proprietor, Edmund
Wood. has just been honored by one of tho
most noted French rosarians naming ono Of
bis choice varieties of new roses in his honor.
The Conservatives take their name from
Lake Waban, near by, and are about mile
from Natick, and few steps only from Lake
Crossing. They are of considerable extent,
being among the largest, if not, indeed, tho
very largest, of any collection of green houses
in the country. There are twenty five Of
them in all at present, each over hundred
feet in length md of proportionate width,
besides central house quite large and
extensive. OF the twenty live houses spoken
of above. fifteen are devoted exclusively 10
roses. seven to Gen. Jacqueminot's, two to
Mareechal Neil, two to Isabella Sprunt and
four to Bon Silene, Safrano, and new vaxie-
ties.
There is telegraph Office among the con-
veniences of the main building. which fro
quently brings orders from points as far north
as Montreal and as far west as Cleveland,
Ohio, and in some instances from Detroit,
Mich, while very often orders come from
New York, Philadelphia, and even Baltimore
Some idea. in addition, Of the importance
OF the trade In roses may be gained from the
1aCt that, az these cOn66IvatOrleS there Af0
now rooted in small pots about Is, 600 small
rose bushes of various species Of their own
growing, besides about IL, 600 choice imports
tons.
Before being sent off the cut roses ara
placed in refrigerator, with the Thermometer
at very low point and left there several
hours, which deepens their tone and color
very materially, though if they remain too
long oand the refrigerator is too cold, they
fade sooner than they otherwise would. How
this fact of cold deepening their color may
be reconciled with the other fact, that roses
grown in the early spring are more beautiful
and richer than in winter, even in artificial
heat in both cases, do not pretend to say.
Daring the week ending yesterday threa
thousand roses had been sold; and next year,
the proprietor told me- he expects to qnadru-
pie that amount. e. Fl. MORGAN.
