color, very perfect, growing and blooming freely ; 

 said to he " striped with white ;" many crimson roses 

 have stripes of white, which, in general, is more

 freely in almost any soil or situation, and is an 

 excellent variety to force into early bloom. Co-

 double and in profusion, approaching the habit 

 of Beau Carmin. Cramoisi Superieur, or Bengal 

 Agrippina, is universally admired for its bril-

 making it very attractive. Eugene Hardy is of a 

 delicate rosy color, very distinct, perfectly double, 

 and medium size. Fahvier, admired for brilliancy
