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:—

Eva Corinne.—Flowers, large, very delicate blush, with beautiful carmine centre, globular, and very double: clusters, medium size, containing from ten to twenty flowers, rather compact: foliage, medium size, rugose: spines, purplish: habit, vigorous, and very erect. This is the most delicate of all the Prairies, and its clusters of blush flowers, with their deep centre, which are perfectly globular and quite fragrant, entitle it to a prominent place in every garden. It blooms quite late.
