GENERAL CATALOGUE. 131 



seedling excels that famous 

 variety in vigor, hardiness, 

 and freedom of bloom. It 

 continues to bloom pro- 

 fusely long after the other 

 remontants are out of flower. 

 In brief, it may be described 

 as an improved Alfred 

 Colomb, and as good a rose 

 as has been raised by any- 

 one. It is undoubtedly the 

 finest of its color.
