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:—

Ranunculiflora.—Flowers, small, pale blush, very much resembling Baltimore Belle: clusters, large, usually twenty or thirty flowers: foliage, very rugose: spines, purplish: habit, vigorous and good. This variety is slightly fragrant, and flowers rather late.
