King of the Prairies Rose.- Mr. Samuel Feast, of Baltimore, has a new Prairie rose, which he calls the King. It is stated to be superior to any of the Prairies, being cup shaped, of a bright peach color, darker in the centre, and having the fragrance of the Damask. The outer petals, twenty-four in number, are of a fine form, slightly turning back, which gives the rose a globular shape until fully expnded. Mr. Feast, we presume, will offer it for sale next year.

The Rose "King of the Prairies" Kensington June 10, 1853.
Dear Sir:- On a visit to Baltimore last week I was presented with a flower of the above Rose by Mr. Samuel Feast. He says that this is the third time it has bloomed with him, and is a source of pleasure to him every time it blooms. As its name imports, it is the King of the Prairie roses, being superior to any other varieties of its tribe; having the fragrance of the Damask; form cup shaped, colour bright peach, darker in the centre, bud of a long conical shape which at the opening of the flower is beautiful. Mr. F. says that, as it opens it shows a few small petals of a lighter colour. The outer petals, twenty-five in number, are of a fine form, slightly turning back, which gives the rose a globular shape until fully expanded.
It is superior to Prairie Queen in every respect in growth, as far as I could see, and even in that Mr. F. says it equals it; there were some shoots at the time I saw it, which appeared to warrant his assertion; but every body knows him, consequently we take his word for it; but I am satisfied that the flower is sweet, and is larger and more pleasing to look upon; all the others are either destitute of fragrance or are somewhat offensive to the smell. In fine, for a rose which is required to cover a large space in a short time, and which lacks none of the qualities of a good rose, the King of the Prairies is the only one I have had the pleasure of seeing. Truly Yours, James Ritchie.
