Art. IV. Descriptions of Eight New Varieties of Prairie Roses. By the Editor.

Mr. Pierce raised twelve kinds, brief descriptions of which he sent us last season; but, as they only referred to the color of the flowers, we thought it preferable to delay their publication until we could render them complete. Most of our plants have flowered finely this year, and we have been enabled to do so, and we now annex the following descriptions of each:—

Jane.—Flowers, medium size, of a beautiful light, or lilac, rose, imbricated, and very double: clusters, large and rather compact, numbering twenty-five or thirty flowers: foliage, large, coarsely, and sharply serrated: habit, very strong and vigorous.
