Liabaud, 1868. Raised from Jules Mar- 

 gottin. Blush, well formed. A fine 

 rose of delicate habit. 



Ellwanger & Barry, 1884. Raised from 

 the seed of Gen. Jacqueminot. It is 

 of vigorous growth, with healthy foli- 

 age, flowers large, semi-globular, full, 

 well formed ; color, cherry-carmine, 

 much like a light-colored Marie Bau- 

 mann y or a shade deeper than Marie 

 Rady^ and very fragrant. In wood, 

 foliage, and form of flower, it resem- 

 bles Alfred Colomb, but the seedling 

 excels that famous variety in vigor, 

 hardiness, and freedom of bloom. It 

 continues to bloom profusely long after 

 the other Remontants are out of flower. 

 In brief, it may be described as an im- 

 proved A If red Colomb. 



Rev. E. M. Pochin, 1881. (Sent out by 

 Cranston.) Lake, shaded with crimson, 

 medium size. 



W. Paul, 1880. Supposed to be a seed- 

 ling from Beauty of Waltham. Rosy- 

 crimson. 



Levet, 1879. Raised from Gloire de 

 Dijon. Rose color. 



Granger, 1861. Raised from General 

 Jacqueminot. Bright crimson, large, 

 moderately full ; a good free flowering 

 sort, generally coming in clusters ; the 

 roots are very delicate, and break easily. 

 In the spring, this is, perhaps, the most 

 prolific of all crimson sorts. 



Leveque, 1891. Large, double, fine 

 form ; clear bright red, shaded velvety 

 brown. 



Nabonnand, 1890. Large, full, globular 

 form, delicate rose veined with red ; 

 fragrant and free blooming. 



Postans, 1878. (Sent out by W. Paul & 

 Son.) Magenta, shaded with crimson, 

 large flowers, many of them coming 

 imperfect ; wood rather smooth, foliage 

 dark. 



E. Verdier, 1874. Salmon-rose.
