Reid's No. 39 

 Is a first row feathered Rose, raised by a poor weaver in the vicinity 

 of Glasgow. It is a fine stage variety. The cup good, the bottom 

 tinged a little, and the feathering a rich scarlet colour. It was said 

 at one period to be only Vesta feathered , and the raiser treated as an 

 impostor for claiming it as a seedling, but after his death, ample 

 justice was done to his memory, and it is now admitted by all to be 

 genuine.
