Magnificent specimen of Prairie Rose. — We have now in flower a splendid specimen of the Baltimore Belle rose, which in our opinion more than rivals the Queen. It has only been planted two years, and has now upon it more than a hundred clusters of buds, each cluster containing from ten to forty buds and flowers. It is the most beautiful object we ever saw. — Ed.

First on our list stands b>Baronne Hallez, which is certainly a rose of merit It has the same elegant foliage and habit as Madame Laffay, from which we should think it a seedling; the flowers are larger, more double, deeper in color, and the petals much thicker.

Mr. Pentland of Baltimore has also sent out two new roses — Beauty of Greenmount and Woodland Margaret. The former is a valuable acquisition to the Noisettes, forces remarkably well, and is prettier than the colored portraits which he distributes with the rose....

Pentland's Seedling Roses. — We briefly noticed Mr. Pentland's new roses in our last number; since then, one of the varieties has bloomed in our collection, viz., the Beauty of Greenmount. It is one of the best roses of its class we have ever seen, and excels any of the French varieties. It is a most decided acquisition, and must become a great favorite. The color is the deepest and most brilliant carmine, rivalling the much admired Chenedole, quite distinct, and readily distinguished in the most extensive collection. Its growth is vigorous, its foliage good, the clusters of flowers large, and the blossoms of medium size, very full, cupped and double. In addition to these fine qualities, it is a most profuse bloomer; small plants just received from Mr. Pentland being covered with buds. In Baltimore it has the commendation of Messrs. Wilson, Feast, and Kurtz, gentlemen who know what a good rose is, and we can ourselves confirm all they have said in its praise. It is the only good bright colored Noisette rose we ever saw. It must be possessed by all who admire a fine rose.

Massachusetts Horticultural Society. Saturday, Feb. 28th, 1846.- An adjourned meeting of the Society was held to-day....At a meeting of the committee on flowers, held this day, the subject of the new class of roses produced by Mr. Samuel Feast, of Baltimore, was discussed.
The committee were unanimous in the opinion, that some token of gratitude remembrance is due to Mr. Feast, from the Massachusetts Horticultural Society, for the valuable varieties of roses he has produced by cross impregnation, particularly the "Queen of the Prairies," which has given so general satisfaction to florists and others, and for which they feel under great obligations to this enterprising cultivator.
Mr. Feast has given the type of a new class of roses, in his new variety, Rosa rubifolia, var. Queen of the Prairies. It is of the most hardy character; enduring the most severe New Engalnd winter, without injury, even to its tender extremities; of most luxuriant growth, making, in good soils, 15 to 20 feet of wood in a season. The flowers very double; color, light crimson, inclining to rosy lilac; produced in large clusters, on lateral branches; in bloom the beginning of July, after common hardy roses are out of flower.
This rose is without a rival, in our climate, for pillars, arbors, &c. Its only deficiency appears to be a want of fragrance. We trust, by the further efforts of Mr. Feast, we shall yet be in possession of a variety having this desirable quality.
It was voted, that the committee recommend that the Society's large gold medal be presented to Samuel Feast, of Baltimore, for the production of his seedling Rosa rubifolia var. Queen of the Prairies. (Signed) Joseph Brece, Chairman.
