THE FLORAL WORLD AND GARDEN GUIDE. 
Enfant de Lyon, a weak grower, flowers large, pale yellow; makes a 
flue pot-plaut. Eliza Sauvage, a moderate grower, very tender in 
CO istitution, pale yellow with orange centre ; makes a lovely pot- 
plant, but for the open wall or border surpassed by Comte 
Taverna. Gloire de Dijon, too well known to need a character, but 
it is proper to observe that as it has a fine constitution and seeds 
f.eely, it is well adapted to breed from, and probably the pollen 
of Marechal Niel is the best that can be found to fertilize it. 
Isabella Sprimt, a strong grower, a fine habit, a most valuable pot- 
rose, forces well, flowers well formed, colour sulphur-yellow. Jean 
Fernet, a vigorous grower, clear yellow, good. La Louie d'Or, a 
strong grower, well adapted for a rafter or pillar in the rose-house, 
as it flowers freely ; in colour it is not as its name implies, a ball or 
bowl of gold, for it is neither compact in make nor of a good yellow 
colour ; but it flowers most profusely, and we must pronounce it a 
good variety to grow^ but not good enough to breed from. Louise 
de Savoie, a strong grower, fine in form and substance, clear, 
])ale yellow, and deliciously scented ; makes a fine pot-plant. 
Jldlle. Cecile B&rtliod, a strong grower, the flowers large and full, 
colour sulphur-yellow, a superb pot-rose, and one of the best of its 
class for forcing. Mdlle. Adele Jongaut, a moderate grower, tender, 
makes a nice bush, flowers thin, lemon-yellow. Madame Ducher, 
a strong grower, flowers large and handsome, clear yellow, first-rate 
for pots or pillars. Madame Falcot is a famous rose, more double 
and deeper in the apricot tint than Safrano, which acquires a tint of 
buff when full out ; neither of them is yellow enough to rank among 
the yellow roses. Madame Lartay is shaded with salmon, the 
flower loose, the plant ver}'^ tender. Madame William is like Eliza 
Sauvage, and as good, the plant very dwarf, and the most tender of 
all the roses ; it is, moreover, reluctant to flower, but the few 
flowers it offers are beautiful in form, pale yellow with orange 
centre ; for a pollen rose this would probably be found of service to 
the raiser of new varieties. Narcisse is a moderate grower, quite 
hardy at Stoke Newington, makes a good standard, the flowers 
large, rather thin, delicate pale yellow ; good. Niphetos is a strong 
grower and a capital type for a seeding rose ; the flowers are large, 
full, and vary from pure white to pale yellow. Perle de Lyon is a 
strong grower with handsome dark foliage, hardier than most, the 
flowers are large, full, and stout, varying in colour from apricot to 
deep yellow ; a glorious golden rose. Heine des Pays Las is a pillar 
or wall rose, as it makes long rods that flower profusely, and it may^ 
be grown as a standard or bush ; the flowers are moderately full, the 
colour pale sulphur. Perfection de Montplaisir is a weak grower, 
forces well ; the flowers come in plenty, they are smallish, the form 
good, colour canary-yellow. Semele is a fine variety, too tender for 
the open ground ; the flowers are dashed with yellow, with shades of 
salmon and buff. Vicomtesse de Gazes is another of the famous teas, 
a moderate grower, but strong enough to make a good standard, 
somewhat hardy, and one of the freest to flower in all this family ; 
the flowers are large, full of stout petals, the colour coppery-yellow 
shading to gold-yellow at the edges.
