Our correspondent, Mr. Jean Sisley, writes that a large number of new roses have been raised at Lyons last year, some of which may prove of permanent value. Of these he believes to be among the best the following, raised by Bernaix: Duchesse d'Anerstadt, Viviand Morel, Souvenir de Madame Metral, all teas; and Hybrid Teas, Madame Carle, Pernet Fils; the following Teas - Madame Joseph Godier, and Hybrid Tea, Germaine Caillot, and a dwarf perpetual Polyantha, George Pernet.

Dubreuil sends out a good forcing kind called Princesse de Sagan.

The Duchesse is yellow, with a darker centre. Vivian is a free blooming dark rose. Mrs. Godier is a new shade of yellowish rose and pretty. The Princess is also unique in its shade of bright crimson. Souvenir is a cherry red, and will make a good climber. Madame Carle is a vivid crimson. Germaine, pink with a yellowish centre.

Bernaix also sends out a hybrid perpetual, Souvenir de Madame Faure, a bright light crimson, slightly shaded purple, and which has a remarkably pleasant odor.
