ance, in every shade, from gold to
cream, from crimson 20 palest rose.
Great glossy.leaved Marechal Mel

themselves at intervals with yellow
periumed globes. Marie Henriettas
are unfolding warm, odorous crimson
hearts, and the Duchesse de Brabant

no doubt, for she is blushing in buds.
The green squares OF Mr.. Hutchtn-
sons lawns are patterned with multi
colorea blossoms, and the passers-by
have thrust greedy roses through the
bars of the Hartweil fence to sniff at
the roses that were blooming and fall

The coiored exodus from Georgia,

cured the necessary cash, gathered up
their goods and started west. Thou
