seedling excels that famous 
variety in vigor, hardiness, 
and freedom of bloom. It 
continues to bloom pro¬ 
fusely long after the other 
remontants are out of flower. 
In brief, it may be described 
as an improved Alfred 
Colomb , and as good a rose 
as has been raised by any¬ 
one. It is undoubtedly the 
finest of its color.
