lated by the needs of the plants and the weather. In other respects 
they tiu'ive under the same conditions as the Odontoglots and other 
orchids with which they will be associated. 
The undermentioned are those which can be the most heartily 
recommended to the notice of cultivators. In addition to these, a 
few have been imported and described, which can only be regarded 
as curiosities. 
Masdevallia chimera, a splendid species ; flowers large and hand- 
some ; colours orange, yellow, and white. 
M. coccinea, a very pretty species ; flowers brilliant red. 
M. coriacea, a pretty dwarf-growing species ; flowers creamy 
white, spotted with purple, less attractive than some others, but very 
interesting. 
M. elephanticeps, a grand species ; flowers large ; colour crimson, 
beautifully shaded with magenta. 
M. Harryana, a superb species ; flowers large, and generally of 
the richest shade of magenta. There are several varieties of this 
species, and some produce flowers of a brilliant red shaded with 
magenta. 
M. ignea, flowers of medium size ; colour bright red-scarlet, 
shaded crimson. 
M. Lnideni, flowers of medium size; colour rich magenta- 
crimson. 
M. Tovarensis, inferior in beauty to the others, but desirable in 
a collection ; flowers pure white. 
Jll. Veitchiana, very attractive and beautiful ; flowers scarlet and 
orange. 
YELLOW ROSES.

]OISETTE. — The leader in this important section is the 
I far-famed Marechal Nlel, of which we presented a por- 
trait and biography, and certificate of character, in the 
May number of the Flobau World. It is the finest 
of all the yellow roses, and has the additional merit of 
a good constitution. For growing under glass it is admirably 
adapted, being tender enough to enjoy the shelter; but it should be 
planted out in a good border, for it is too vigorous for pot culture, 
except when young or when particular attention can be given it, for 
the development of its full power. It thrives on any kind of stock ; 
but its own roots are the best roots, and, happily, it strikes as easily 
as a Boursault, and when on Manetti, if planted rather deep, it 
readily makes roots above the point of junction with the stock. 
The commanding splendour of Marechal Niel has diverted atten- 
tion from certain other varieties of the same great section, which the 
enthusiastic rosarian will value when he has learnt to manage them. 
Among the yellow Noisettes there are a few which will thrive any- 
July.
