darker on reverse of petals. Bud heavily mossed in bright 
green, with the peculiar aromatic odor of the Moss Rose fam¬ 
ily, yet retaining the scandent habit of the Wichuraiana, mak¬ 
ing growths of five to eight feet in length, with fine resistant 
foliage. Wichuraiana X Salet. 
Wichuraiana or Memorial Rose—(Dr. Wichura of Japan, 
I860.) (W.) Pure shining white with bright golden center; 
single large blossoms profuse in July; glossy dark green leaves. 
William Alien Richardson—(Ducher, 1S7S.) (X.) Deep 
orange-yellow, with center of coppery-yellow, faintly tinted 
with rose; beautifully colored and formed. 
William R. Smith, Charles Dingee, Jeanette Heller or Maiden's 
Blush—(Shellum, 1908.) (T.) Creamy-white with shadings of 
pink; a seedling from Maman Cochet and Kalserin Augusta 
Victoria; beautiful in form and colors; glossy foliage; long, stiff 
stems; vigorous in growth; a superb summer bedder and hardy 
with light protection. 
Willowmere—(Pemet-Ducher, 1913.) (H. T.) Long, car- 
mined coral-red bud, opening to large, handsome, cupped flower 
of rich shrimp shaded yellow in the center and toning to car¬ 
mine-pink toward edges of petals; a vigorous grower of erect 
branching habit, long, stout flower stalks, few thorns and 
light green foliage. Progeny of an unnamed seedling and 
Lyon Rose, which it resembles, but excels in growth and 
hardiness. 
Yellow Banksia—(Damper, 1823.) (Bks.) Small, double, 
sulphur-yellow flowers in clusters, with violet fragrance. A 
vigorous grower. 
Yellow Kaiserin—(See Perle von Godesberg.) 
Yellow Mademoiselle Cecile Brunner—(See George Eiger.) 
Yellow Maman Cochet or Madame Derepas-Matrat—(Buatois, 
1898.) (T.) Heavy foliage and strong, stiff stems, carrying 
gracefully shaped buds and fine, open flowers of sulphur-yel¬ 
low. This not being a true Cochet and not so strong a grower 
as Pink and White Maman Cochets, we recommend Mile. Helene 
Cambier, Mme. Jenny Guillemot, Etoile de Lyon and other 
newer sorts as more satisfactory yellow Roses. 
Yellow Rambler or Aglaia—(Schmidt, 1895.) (C. P.) A 
hardy climber. Double golden-yellow flowers in large clusters. 
Yellow Soupert—(See Mosella.) 
Zelia Bourgeois—(Welter. 1912.) (P.) 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. Newest of 
the White Baby Ramblers.
