Rosa lucida is distributed from ^Newfoundland south- westward to eastern Pennsylvania ; it blooms [earlier than liosa Carolina'] in June or July. Rosa humilis is a species somewhat sim- ilar to the foregoing, but it extends as far West and Southwest as Minnesota and Lou- isiana. It is common, however, in drier soil or on rocky slopes. It grows from one to three- feet high, and has slender, less leafy stems with nc:irly straight.
