The following varieties I have not yet found, but as they may be in cultivation I give descriptions from other authors which will help in their identification.

Wood brown, many straight prickles. Raised by Mr. Williams, of Pitmaston, well known as the raiser of Pitmaston Duchess Pear. It came from a seed of the Yellow Austrian Briar.

Williams’ double yellow Rose—I have sometimes seen this named Persian Yellow, but both in flower and habit of growth it greatly differs from that variety. The yellow Rose to which I refer was raised by Mr. Williams, of Pitmaston, about 1826, and was said to have been raised from the single Austrian Brier. This Rose is rarely to be found in Rose lists, and there must surely be some reason for the omission, as the tree is very distinct from the Persian or Harrison’s Yellow; the flowers are larger and it continues longer in flower. I would be glad to know the cause of this old-fashioned Rose falling out of the lists of Roses worth growing.— C.
