PALISSY, BERNARD DE. 



Species — P. albiflora. Originated by Crousse, 1879. 



Donated by Ellwanger & Barry. 



Description in brief — Medium to large; very compact, globular, dull blush pink 



(pale lilac rose i[i78]), rose type bloom, fading with age to nearly white, with 



a slightly blush center. Late. Good variety. 

 Description in detail — Guards not clearly differentiated; entirely transformed; 



collar composed of narrow, pale pink petals, growing wider and darker toward 



the center, which is a compact mass forming a somewhat cup-shaped center. 



The buds are very tight and poorly protected from the dampness, likely to 



be iniured for this reason during unfavorable seasons. Central petals 



slightly tipped with red. Odor pleasant. 



Strong-growing medium sized plant, of good habit. Free bloomer in 



clusters. 

 Remarks — This variety is very similar to "Charlemagne," possibly a few days 



earlier, and blanches out more nearly white.

the central petals in general are wide. Odor pleasant. 



Medium height plant, vigorous grower, rather weak stem and spreading 



habit. Medium to free bloomer, lateral buds inclined to blight.
