This is certainly the most magnificent vivid crimson Zonale ever yet 

 sent out, and the above engraving conveys but a very inadequate idea 

 of its immense trusses ; color intense and brilliant scarlet, considerably 

 darker and more glowing than Jean Sisley ; large white eye, each pip 

 of fine shape, and of great substance, which causes every petal to reflex 

 as soon as each bud expands, consequently each flower remains a longer 

 time in perfection than any other Zonale ; it also has the valuable prop- 

 erty of keeping its centre well filled up. The color of this variety totally 

 eclipses all other older kinds, and is unquestionably the most magnificent 

 crimson scarlet Zonale ever sent out. lf> cents each.
