Richard Carvel (Brand).  8.8.  What Mons. Jules Elie is to pinks, this variety is to the early crimsons.  On account of its extra early blooming, large size, and splendid qualities, this variety has already become a well-established favorite.  The demand is increasing from year to year.  We advise those who wish to purchase this sort, to get their order in early.  A single plant on the lawn is attractive and delightful.  It is beautiful and lasting, and on account of its delicate fragrance, is valuable as a cut flower.  The best of all early dark reds.  The odor of most reds is offensive, but the odor of Richard Carvel is pleasant and pronounced, a very rare quality in a red flower.
