The Double Crimson.  I found this in Mr. William Malcolm's nursery at Kensington mixed with another variety.  Its peduncles are fine, moderately long, and smooth; the germen is semi-globose, and the sepals long; the bud is of a dark brown red; the flower is small and semi-double, having a few smaller petals in the centre; the inside of the petals is of a deep rich crimson, without marbling; the backs are not so brilliant, but have the veins perceptible.  The flower is very rich and handsome, and except that it is not marbled, has a strong affinity to the Dark Marbled.  The fruits are small, few, black, and globose.  It is late in coming into blossom.
