Tea Roses.
We grow over 40 sorts, many of them very similar, and a few not worth notice compared with the following, that are very splendid.
Antherose, very large, creamy white, a strong hardy grower.

As to the Augusta rose, we saw it at Mr. Fulton's nursery last week, but the bloom was rather far gone; it seemed much like Le Pactole, but larger. The general opinion seems to be that it is not sufficiently distinct from Chromatella for a new name; whether it be more hardy remains to be proven.

Cluster Roses—I could never well understand the distinction between cluster and noisette roses; however, florists make it and we suppose we must follow suit. Noisettes cluster just as much as those I am about to name. If it is the musky odor so peculiar to the old white musk cluster rose, that characterises the group, I must say very few of them possess more than the old stump that traces out these scrawls and the odor is peculiar only to the white roses of the group. I have never seen a rose that I could call a red or pink musk cluster. Herbemont's White, is a very excellent and one of the best light cluster roses, always in bloom, profuse and of fine growth, but no musky odor.

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.

Sydonie, a newer variety is very like this [Yolande d'Aragon], and I am doubtful if it is any improvement upon it, unless to a very critical observer,
