Damask Perpetual. The White Damask Monthly, or Quatre Saisons blanc, is of a pearly white color at expansion, becoming perfectly white shortly after; the flowers, like the preceding [Quatre Saisons], are in clusters, and highly fragrant, and the genuine variety blooms quite as frequently. There are spurious varieties of both the red and the white flowering, which seldom bloom a second time.
