GRANDE DUCHESS CHARLOTTE 
(Patent No. 774) 
A strikingly beautiful color which we find 
it difficult to try to describe. We have 
asked many of you when you have been 
in the Nursery to tell us the shade of 
color, and have been told that it is 
"claret," “geranium red,” “burnt carmine”’ 
and '’Chinese red.’’ Whatever shade the 
Grande Duchess seems to you, it is very 
beautiful and attracts much pleased com- 
ment. Fine, strong, upright growth. Good 
foliage. An excellent cut bloom.
