Tnn Rose PAmity.—There Is not in all the floral kingdom a more uscful famlly than tho Roraces, which affords the most valuable fruits produced in temperate climates; nor is there ono celebrated for greater beauty, for does it not contatn the, rose, jnstly acknowledged the queen of flowers? The family comprises several sulrorders, viz.: the Amygdalee (Almond- Tribe), the Hosacee (Rose-Tribe), and the Lomee (Pear-Tribe). The Almond-Tribe embraces the Pench, Nee- tarlue, Plum, Cherry, Almond, Sloe, Wild Clicrry, Choke Cherry, ete. The specles inhablt almost exclusively the cold or temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere,—an insignificant number occurrivg fn South Amerfea, and in seattered localitics fu the Torrld Zone. It s now agreed by the best authoritics that the Teach lad mever been found in a wild etate. The Plum originated in Caucasia and Northern India; the Cherry also [n Asfaj the Nectarine is an offapring of the Peach; and the Almond is referred to the same genus Amygdalua, U not ‘o tho same specles. The only represcntatives of the tribe Indige- nous fn our vicinity are the Dwarf Cherry (Prunus pumila), which grows along tho lake- share ; and the Choke Cherry (£, Virginiana), which Is found on tac banks of running streams. Toth species blossom fn May, and are easily recognized by thelr white flowers,—in the lnst~ named terminating the leafy branches with long Tacemnes. Of the tribe Rosacae, there are in our Chleago flora scventeen species, divided between seven genera. The Wild Strawberres (Fragaira Vir- giniana and J%. Vesea) were In blossom severnl weeks ago. Doth species affect dry solls, but neither iscommon hercabouts, The 7% Vesea oy be distingulshed from the F Virginlana by its thinner leaves and more slender habit. Several of tho Potentillas nre already in bloom. The Sitver-Weed (2, anseriua) Is covered with brig hi- yellow flowers, down on the lake-shore: and itg rich, handsome follage—each leaf Iined with a cont of sllvery down—I{s waving In lush Juxurince in the wind. The Common Cinquefoll (P, Canadensis) is canally advanced fu jts development, and 1s abundant in dry grommds. Its five leafiets giwo it the common upme of Five-Finger. The £ Norvegica, 8 homely weed, s common in flelds, The Z% pruticasa, o shrubby apecles, which grows in damp places north and south of us, will come into blossom tlits month. The Marsh Five- Fingor (I, palustris), which has purple instend of tiie yeilow flowers borne by most of the other spectes, blooms from June to August.

The Nine-Bark (S. opull fulluz, n shrh from 4 1o 10 feet high, with three-lobed Teaves and corymbs of white flowors, is a deni- zen of the swamps at Gracelond and Gibson's Statlon. The Common Meadow Sweet (8. sallci- JSolia), which under cultivation I8 csteemed an ‘ornnment of the gurdens, grows wild in low, wet zrounds, and fs in blussom in July. The Hurdhucl (8. tomentosa), which has denss panti- cles of rose-tinted flowers, 18 less common, but may Le found at Gihson’s and Miller's, s J{ the genns Jtubus, which cuntatns the Rasp- berries and the Blackberrics, called tndiserimi- nutely Brambles, we haye two specles, the High Blackberry (£, villosus) sl the Low Llackberry (28, Canadensis), both of which are ocenstonally met with in the botanist’s enunterings. Eizlit specles of Ioses aro included In the flora of the nited States cast of the Allsululps’l, and three of theae are tobo found here, Specimens of the Early Wild Roke (Josa Yanda) are already sdorne Inppehe low buslies o1 which thoy erow, This epecles fs less common _than the ™ Dwarf Wili Rose (22, luckla), which closcly resembles it.
