This is a grand new variety of great merit. The flowers are unusually large, double and full, and in color are deep vivid crimson, with rich velvety shadings. The buds are large, long and pointed ; splendid for cutting. It is a strong, vigorous grower and a free continuous bloomer. Fine for open-ground planting. 20 cts. each 3 for 50 cts.; 7 for $1.
