red, exquisitely veined and tinted like some rare hot-house 
plant. It bears fine large trusses of beautiful waxy rose pink 
flowers, and, unlike other red-leaved sorts, is a most early and 
abundant bloomer, highly ornamental, and sure to be in large 
demand when better known. The flowers are very much 
larger, and it blooms more freely than “Egandale,” which 
variety it resembles in habit.
