red. The plant is full of foliage and of excellent habit, flower 

 about three and half inches in diameter. Magnificent. 



C. atror&bens, Loddiges' red, is a good variety; colour dark 

 red, outside petals large, inside small and irregular, forming a 

 very distinct character; foliage stiff; grows freely and flowers 

 well; and of long duration. We have seen a flower stand
