all others in the size of its diameter and the number of its petals. The foliage is very large, heavy, and dark 
green ; the color is cardinal red, of a very rich pleasing shade, faced upon the back of the petals with clear 
chamois. The flower attains a great size, even under the most ordinary treatment.
