WHITE MAMAN COCHET.
A sprout from Maman Cochet whieii it resembles in every way except colour. As regards the prefix, I consider this misleading, as I have never seen ivhat could be termed a “white'’ flower •upon it. The predominant colours have been light yellow tinted with blush, ami jn many instances flowers have been discerned almost identical with the original, which is not an uncommon occurrence pertaining to sports. However, it is well worth growing on account of its free blooming propensities. The flowers are very large and perfectly formed, with a high pointed centre, but are apparently too heavy for the stalk and have therefore- a tendency to droop. . The plant possesses a grand constitution, requires very little pruning ami ijviU thrive almost anywhere. It is welt worth ineluding in a collection of Teas, more especially should the grower have the show board in view. H. W. D.
