Rose André Schwartz.— Mr. Rolker says: " You were kind enough to insert at the time with our advertisement the picture of the new rose, André Schwartz. As such I take it for granted that your readers may like to hear about how ithas been working so far. The flowers that were of a fine crimson color last spring, on what few plants were allowed to flower, are showing this fall a marked tendency to sports into lighter shades. I have noticed in a few even an approach to pure white. I learn also, that one bush, that at first flowered a deep crimson, is now turning towards a pale rose. Some bushes show larger, some smaller buds. I have seen a bud of André Schwartz this fall that equalled a Mermet in size. This is not a brilliant report in general, but I give it to the public in order to possibly hear from other quarters a better result, and again to solicit from our learned rose-growers an opinion: Why a rose that in its first state flowered a deep scarlet crimson should sport so early into lighter shades. Upon inquiry, Mr. Joseph Schwartz, of Lyons, gives the parentage as Tea Rose Souvenir de David d'Angers X Hybrid Perpetual General Jacqueminot. Is there anything in the parentage of these roses that might be the cause? I may add later that plants of the André Schwartz rose commence to show again deeper shades of crimson. Perhaps the cold weather and the nearer approach to the winter forcing season improve it."

....we transfer what Mr. Sisley says of it : ....
The second was raised by Phillippe Rambaux, also from a double variety of the first generation, and sent out by his widow, last year, under the name of Polyantha Anne Marie de Montravel. It is not as dwarf as Paquerette, but the flowers are larger and more numerous on each truss I have counted on one flower stalk sixty blooms. They are also white, very full and well shaped, and are produced in great number all the year round.

Tea Rose, Mlle. Rachel.— E. Y. T., Richmond, Indiana, says : 'We sent you some days ago a few buds of our ''Mlle. Rachel," which we think the finest Tea Rose in our collection. I hope you received them in such condition as to enable you to judge of the quality of the flower. We have Mr. Henderson's new Rose Bella in bloom, and think it does not at all compare with this."
[And truly a beautiful Rose, of a soft delicate lemon while color.]
