May Paul.—Red, shaded and veined with lilac; large and full.
Niphetos.—Color almost white. When grown under glass, it is one of the most popular and beautiful roses.
Papa Gontier.—A new red rose, of great value; fragrant; free blooming, and of vigorous growth.
Perle de Lyon.—Large, very double, and fragrant; deep yellow, with a tinge of saffron at center; excellent fragrance; very vigorous grower, and is much used to train up the pillars of green-houses, where it flowers freely; mildews in the open air.
Perle des Jardins.—Large to very large, excellent form, with stiff stem; deep canary yellow; exquisite tea-fragrance; a free grower and bloomer; the foliage is very dark and glaucous, and the five to seven leaflets are strongly serrated. This variety, both in this country and in Europe, proves to be a formidable rival to Maréchal Neil. It is largely forced for the New York market, and it is also excellent in the open ground.
Pierre Guillot.—(Hybrid.)—Large, erect, well formed; bright red; fragrant; moderate to vigorous; free bloomer.
Puritan.—A new white rose of great beauty; very large flower; blooming freely; good grower, and free bloomer; fragrant.
Reine Marie Henriette.—(Climber.)—Large, good form, double; cerise red; rather fragrant; very vigorous; this is also a cross from Gen. Jacqueminot.
Rubens.—Color rose and white, with yellow center; form large and double.
Safrano.—This is scarcely excelled by any rose. Its half-opened bud is very beautiful, and of a rich, deep fawn color. When open, its form is poor, and its color a much lighter fawn. These fawn-colored roses have peculiar charms for us; and of them all, there are none more beautiful or richer than Safrano.
