 (Blush Tea.) T. 



Paul & Son, 1891. " Large open flower like 

 a camelia, with very bold, thick petals, 

 perfectly arranged ; blush-white, with 

 rosy peach shading : very distinct. A 

 fine autumnal rose. 



Pierce, 1850. Blush. 



Trouillard, 1860. Belongs to the Giant 

 of Battles type. Deep crimson, tinged 

 with purple. 



Bennett, 1879. From Alba Rosea X Ed- 

 ward Morren. Satiny-rose, a delicate 

 and lovely shade, medium or small 

 size, beautiful buds, highly scented ; 

 growth slender, inclined to mildew. 

 Were this of vigorous growth and good 

 constitution, it would be a variety of 

 great value. 



1845. Yellow, an inferior Monsieur 

 Fur t ado. 



Ducher, 1865. Supposed to be a seedling 

 from Madame Boll. Violet -red, a 

 very distinct variety, but of too perish- 

 able a color to have any value. 



Blush, loose flowers : not of value. 



1844. White, sometimes tinged with pale 

 yellow, long, large buds, the petals 

 thick and durable. A very beautiful 

 variety for growing under glass, it is 

 entirely unsuited for growing in open 

 air. 



Laftay, 1851. Purplish -red, a sullied 

 shade. 



Comley. " Deep bright rose color, in the 

 way of Paul Neyron, but blooms much 

 more freely ; delightfully scented ; con- 

 tinues in bloom all summer, and is one 

 of the best varieties for very early winter 

 forcing." 



Oger, 1858. A sport from Baronne Prd- 

 vost. A little lighter in color than the 

 parent, the habit is the same. 



Of Chinese origin, brought to England in 

 1810. Carmine, fading to blush, large 

 flowers, somewhat loose but good in the 

 bud ; one of the most fragrant. The 

 larger number of the Teas are descend- 

 ants of this sort.
