NEW BOURBON ROSE.

At the weekly meetings of the Horticultural Association at Washington, Professor Charles G. Page has exhibited a new Bourbon Rose of his own production. It is from one of four seeds, and of the progeny of the common Chinese daily upon the Pourpre de Tyre, Florists, Fanciers and Critics pronounce warmly in its favor as a first rate rose.

The color is a fine crimson, form perfect, very double, size large, habit strong and healthy, bloom perpetual and abundant, and deliciously fragrant, a quality generally wanting in the best Bourbon Roses. It has been tested for only one year, out of doors and in, the bush being but two years old from the seed; but its only change is for the better.
