Thanks. I picked up a couple of spelling errors....Alfred, Notting, G. Nabonnand, but have no idea if there are others in the French.

Thanks for mentioning them. I edited my original post.

The typos happens sometimes, when one copy pastes from pdf documents.
Thus f and t in Alfred get mixed up, One of t's in Notting turns into i. The X in Nabonnand, was simply a cross made by the owner of the catalogue :-)


Translation (Please feel free to edit/ correct!)
Strongly tinged white, virginal pink, sometimes with yellowish reflexes. Long and pointed buds, flower big, beautifully formed. Strong and compact. Splendid first class, extremely floriferous
