No. 278. Whitewell Gem. Originally found in 
an old Shropshire garden twenty years ago. 
Continual selection has improved and fixed the 
strain. The flowers are large and of an 
intense glowing reddish purple. Plants are 
very vigorous and remain in flower for many 
weeks. This latter characteristic added to 
its free-flowering qualities makes it a most 
valuable asset to the garden. Per pkt. .26
