The variety with which our present number is adorned - Prince Albert - is one of the finest of the perpetual bloomers. It was raised by M. Laffay, of Paris, from a cross between that fine Bourbon rose, Gloire de Rosoméne, and some choice damask China and hybrid rose. The drawing from which our figure was taken was made on vellum by a first-rate French artist, in November last [1840], when the crimson gives way to purple tints in some places. It is very hardy; a vigorous grower, and a free, but not crowded, flowerer. It answers well either as a dwarf or standard. Mr. Rivers, of Sawbridgeworth, is appointed agent for the sale in Britain..
