Carmine Roseberry. Ib. 



from Nova Scotia in 1802. Its priority of introduction, there- 

 fore, from Germany, is thus established; and its name as Austrian 

 Scarlet was published in my Catalogue of 1815, ten years previ- 

 ously to this part of the Horticultural Transactions making its 

 appearance.
