The Double Crimson. I found this in Mr. William Mal- 

 colm's nursery at Kensington mixed with another variety. 

 Its peduncles are fine, moderately long, and smooth ; the 

 germen is semi-globose, and the sepals long ; the bud is of a 

 dark brown red ; the flower is small and semi-double, having 

 a few smaller petals in the centre ; the inside of the petals 

 is of a deep rich crimson, without marbling; but shewing 

 the reticulation of the veins a little ; the backs are not so 

 brilliant, but have the veins perceptible. The flower is very 

 rich and handsome, and except that it is not marbled, 

 has a strong affinity to the Dark Marbled. The fruits are 

 small, few, black, and globose. It is late in coming into 

 blossom. 



Having now noticed all the True Double Scutch Roses, 

 which I am well acquainted with, except such as, from their 

 close similarity to those described, do not merit separate 

 mention, I subjoin a table of the Sections and Varieties.
