There was also a novelty—in fact, a great one. Picture to yourself that old and deserved favourite, Crimson Perpetual. Well then, take from the plant its beautiful deep pink flowers, and replace them with creamy flesh-coloured ones: then you have it; but positively, as the flowers age, they become white. It really is a good thing, very fragrant, and, like the Crimson Perpetual, flowers very freely in autumn. It is called, from its similarity of habit, I suppose, Blanche du Roi.
