exhibition ; very vigorous, this variety was awarded a First-class Certificate 



Koyal Horticultural Society.

beautiful bright carmine red, of vigorous habit; this is one of the best new

strong vigorous grower, flowering most freely in autumn. We consider this, 



without doubt, the finest dark rose, which has been sent out since the Duke of 



Edinburgh.

have.

grower and a very free autumnal.

from Annie Wood; extra fine,
