Les thés, les noisettes, les Iles-Bourbons ne réussissent pas bien généralement en culture forcée, cependant on peut obtenir de M^me Falcot, de Safrano, de Sombreuil, Gloire de Dijon etc. quelques jolies fleurs à couper pour bouquet. Les Bengales réussissent mieux, surtout Hermosa, Cramoisi supérieur, Prince Charles, etc.

50. Prince Charles—beautifully cupped, large, globular flowers of a brilliant carmine color.
All of this class form the most beautiful and brilliant beds or groups on the lawn; one color only being planted in a bed. Agrippina makes a most showy division hedge, and with care would make a very perfect fence. Abbe Maillard, Fabvier, Nemesis and Prince Charles may all be grown in the same way.
They require little more in the way of pruning than to cut out the weak sprays, and shorten back the stronger shoots to induce a growth of new wood, which bears the flowers.
