strong grower, a very free lilooiner, and 
has inagnilicent foliage ; color hright 
pink, suffused with carmine ; very kirge,

eral Jacqueminot. It is of vigorous 
growth, with heidthy foliage ; llowers 
large, semi-globular, full, well formed ; 
color beautiful cherry-carmine ; very fra-

flower it resembles Alfred Colomb, but 
the seedling e.xcels that famous variety in 
vigor, hardiness and freedom of bloom.
