A very desirable variety. 
The fine scarlet flowers of this species, and the length of time during which 
they are produced, render it a very desirable one; but it is somewhat tender, 
and rather capricious in regard to situation. It will not thrive in clayey or 
wet soil; neither in the smoke of cities, nor ina confined situation. It grows 
well in sand, but still better in sandy peat.
