Excerpt from Letters of a Traveller Second Series

The exhibition was visited by a crowd of people, and groups of smartly-dressed Parisian ladies were hovering about the ¿owers like butter¿ies. Among the roses exhibited were some fine new varieties, which it is the fashion Of the day to name after eminent military commanders. A large blush rose bears the name of Lord Raglan, and a larger, with ¿aming blood-red petals, the name of General J acqueminot. I believe this is regarded as a very desirable addition to the stock of roses.
