How much I prefer the nomenclature of the roses! I know not why, but it seems to me that in the vegetable world this is the only flower which has escaped Latin designations. This favor has been granted it, that it should be abandoned to all vulgar minds; while our hot-house Latinists put themselves to torture that they may forge barbarisms. The amateur of roses, more indulgent and more sensible, gives to his beautiful flowers beloved names—the names of heroes, of great artists ; the names of beautiful ladies, the name of his young wife, or his eldest daughter, or of his infant child; sometimes even the name of his political opinions. Thus you have the rose Henry V., and the rose Ferdinand, one near the other, and without dreading a duel with thorns; you have the rose Louis XII., and the rose Louis XV.; the rose Elizabeth, Colbert, Emilie Lesourd ; the rose Rosine, and the rose Fanchon, and the rose Célemène ; ma tante Aurore, and Silene, have each their own rose. These are what I call titles; with these you may recognise them again, when once you have named them! Général Marceau and Marechal de Villars have also their rose. Alas! there is also the rose Charles X., that dethroned king, that kind, affable gentleman; here is all that remains to us of this king of France, less than nothing—a flower!

Madame Nerard, Celimene, and Timocles, are also of the same rigid habit, with flowers of the palest "silvery" blush--a term which will perhaps convey that peculiar glossiness which seems to lay on the surface of the petals;
