YELLOWS 



The Beauty of Glazenwood, sometimes called Gold 

 of Ophir, or Fortune's Double Yellow, is an annual 

 bloomer that is a marvel of color, and we will ven- 

 ture to describe the shades as yellow, copper and 

 rose. Celine Forestier is a light yellow noisette with 

 real yellow in the central petals. Duchess de Auer- 

 stadt is the yellowest of climbers, a tea rose of great 

 beauty popular forty years ago and still in strong 

 demand. As for Marechal Niel, the old favorite

 yellowish buff in color and may be depended upon 

 to thrive in all the Pacific Coast states. William 

 Allen Richardson, of the same class, is yellow with

 color, similar in every respect to the White Banksia 

 and is the more freely planted for the color is clearer 

 and brighter than in the white.

 Duchess of Wellington, Juliet, Sunburst, and Mrs. 

 Edward Herriott. Under widely varying conditions 

 these novelties would appear to have become stand-

 one, extending back a long period of years, though
