"pER ; This new rose is a cross between the hybrid per- petual Mabel Morrison and Tea Canary. It was raised by Mr. H. Bennett, an English farmer, who of late years has devoted his time to the improvement of the rose. Her Majesty is of immense size, perfect symmetry, and a lovely shade of rose pink tinted flesh color. The claims made for it as a forcing rose have hardly been borne out, but we consider it ex- tremely valuable as an out-door rose.

An excellent rose for forcing or open air. The flowers are very double, of a deep crimson color, and very fragrant. Its blooming qualities are remarkable, as it is scarcely ever out of flower, and is a true type of what a Hybrid Perpetual Rose should be. We con- sider it one of the most valuable of the late introduc- tions. 1st size $ each ; $ per doz. 2d " 50 " " " 3d " 30 " " ".
