White Rambler—(Thalia.) Grows vigorously in clusters 
of pure white flowers. 
Wichmoss—(Barbier, 1912.) Daybreak pink semi-dou¬ 
ble flowers of medium size in clusters, dancer on reverse 
of petals. Bud heavily mossed in bright green, with the 
peculiar aromatic odor of the Moss Rose family, yet re¬ 
taining the_ scandent habit of the Wichuriana, making 
growths of 5 to S feet in length with fine resistant foliage. 
(Wichuriana xSalet.) 
Wichuraiana—(Memorial.) Pure shining white with 
bright golden center; single large blossoms profuse in 
July; glossy dark green leaves. 
William Allen Richardson—Deep orange-yellow, with 
center of coppery-yellow, faintly tinted with rose; beau¬ 
tifully colored and formed. 
William R. Smith—(Charles Dingee, Jeanette Heller or 
Maiden’s . Blush; Smith, 190S.) Creamy-white with shad¬ 
ings of pink; a seedling from Maman Cochet and Kaiserin 
Augusta Victoria; beautiful m form and colors; glossy fo¬ 
liage; long, stiff stems: vigorous in growth; a superb 
summer bedder and hardy with light protection. 
Yellow Banksia—Small, double, sulphur-yellow flowers 
in clusters, with violet fragrance. A vigorous grower. 
Yellow Maman Cochet—(Madame (Dcrcpas Matrat.) 
Heavy foliage and strong, stiff stems, carrying gracefully 
shaped buds and fine, open flowers of sulphur-yellow. 
This not being a true Cochet and not so strong a grower 
as Pink and White Maman Cochets, we recommend Mile. 
Helene Gambicr, Mme. Jenny Guillemot, Etoile de Lyon 
and other newer sorts as more satisfactory yellow Roses. 
Yellow Rambler—(Aglaia.) A hardy climber. Double 
golden-yellow flowers in large clusters. 
Yellow Soupcrt—(See Mosella.) 
Zelia Bourgeois—(Welter, 1912.) Glistening snow-white 
small flowers evenly disposed on full trusses; of round, 
compact habit, ideal for pot culture; forms, a sheet of 
white for bedding purposes; perpetual during summer. 
Pre-eminently the best new White Baby.
