itis a beautiful rose. This is an invaluable sort. MARECHAL NIEL. (Noisette Rose.) Introduced in 1864. This is a delightfully fragrant rose,flowers deep yellow, very large, full, properly speaking it is aNoisette and gives the greatest satisfaction when planted whereits long shoots can have support. Gives the best results whenplanted out in the greenhouse border with plenty of room todevelop. As grown in the Southern States it makes a largewide spreading bush and produces the greatest abundance oflarge handsome golden yellow flowers. It is written that after General Niels heroism in Italy,while returning to France he was one day given a basket ofroses by a peasant on the roadside. In it was a bud whichattracted his attention. Niel kept the shoot and gave it to anoted florist who obtained from it four roses. These werecarried to the then Empress Eugenie, who remarked withvivacity, I will christen the rose for you, the MarechalNiel, and this is said to be the origin of this famous rose.

Slr^rr/;l/> (pifocb, X > BLANCHE MOREAU. (Moss.) This is known as a perpetual moss, and has all the charac-teristics of the other mosses except that it blooms in theautumn, and is therefore valuable in prolonging the floweringseason. The chief beauty of all moss roses are in the budsand, while these varieties which bloom in the autumn do notgive as many buds as those which bloom only in the summermonths, they still are very valuable in producing theseflowers. They need high culture and rather close pruningearly in the spring.
