flowers so
profusely as to appear to be in
clusters.  Delicately fragrant, leaves
deep green and remarkably free from
blights.  Perfectly hardy; forms so
large a bush in time that it should
be placed in the rose shrubbery
rather than amid smaller species.
9.  Margaret Dickson.  A splendid, finely formed, fragrant
white rose, with deep green foliage.
10.  Coquette des Blanches.  One of the very hardy white roses,
an occasional pink streak tinting the
outside petals.  Cup-shaped and a
profuse bloomer.
11.  Coquette des Alps.  A very hardy bush, coming into bloom
rather later than the former and
lasting well.  Satisfactory.

Red and Crimson

12.  General Jacqueminot.  Bright velvety crimson.  The
                                 established favourite of its
                                 colour and class, though fashion has
                                 in some measure pushed it aside for
                                 newer varieties.  May be grown to a
                                 large shrub.  Fragrant and hardy.  Best
                                 when in bud, as it opens rather flat.
13.  Alfred Colomb.  Bright crimson.  Full, sweet.  A
                                 vigorous grower and entirely
                                 satisfactory.  If you can grow but one
                                 red rose, take this.
14.  Fisher Holmes.  A seedling of Jacqueminot, but of
                                 the darkest velvety crimson; fragrant,
                                 and blooms very early.
15.  Marshal P. Wilder.  Also a seedling of Jacqueminot. 
                                 Vigorous and of well-set foliage. 
                                 Full, large flowers of a bright
                                 cherry red.  Very fragrant.
16.  Marie Bauman.  A crimson rose of delicious
                                 fragrance and lovely shape.  This does
                                 best when budded on brier or Manette
                                 stock, and needs petting and a diet of
                                 liquid manure, but it will repay the
                                 trouble.
17.  Jules Margottin.  A fine, old-fashioned, rich red
                                 rose, fragrant, and while humble in
                                 its demands, well repays liberal
                                 feeding.
18.  John Hopper.  A splendid, early crimson rose,
                                 fragrant and easily cared for.
19.  Prince Camille de Rohan.  The peer of dark red roses, not
                                 large, but rich in fragrance and of
