This name is applied to that magnificent group of Pelargoniums, the flowers of

double, yet fi-om their fulness of form and the extra number of petals, they have 
the appearance of being so.

under petals very dark crimson shaded with 
maroon ; light centre tinted with rose ; all 
the petals attractively and regularly margined 
with white, and beautifully fringed. The

of petals giving them the appearance of being 
semi-double. 2s. 6d.
