Some Good Roses
The true Teas hold their own as our best autumnals, for where is there anything to touch Marie van Houtte in splendour at this season of the year.  Then how glowing are General Schablikine, Albert Stopford and Comtesse Festetics Hamilton, the delicate-tinted Mme. Berkeley, Mme. Antoine Mari, Enchantress, or Sulphurea!

Varieties of Special Merit
Albert Stopford
This splendid acquisition promises to become very valuable.  It is an improved Bon Silene, and like it, is superb in every way; very vigorous and free-blooming, growing to perfection in the open ground, producing its beautiful flowers in great profusion.  The color is dark crimson rose, very attractive and pretty.

Rose Albert Stopford (H.T.). This fine Rose has been remarkably good this year and I have formed a high opinion of its merits. I do not know of any Rose with petals of such substance, no mean quality in a wet season, and in a dry one the flowers stand well. The variety is reputedly a cross between General Schablikine and Papa Gontier, and, of course one expects something good from two such excellent parents. The growth of Albert Stopford is strong and stout, superior to Papa Gontier. The colour is coppery-rose, deepening in centre of flower; the outer petals are deep carmine. The buds are of a splendid long shape, the open flowers bold, showy, and fragrant.
