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.
