Elys Catalogue Of Flower Seeds 1894 Classic Reprint PDF Download

Excerpt from Annual Retail Catalogue of Plants, Bulbs and Seeds, 1894 Duchess of Albany. This variety is a sport from La France, but is far superior to it in every way, deeper in color, more expanded in form and larger in size. The flowers are deep, even pink, very large and full, highly perfumed, and of first quality in every respect. Perle des J ardins. We have had many new yellow roses since the introduction of Perle, which, from every description, were to supercede it; but as yet it stands pre-eminent as the most valuable rose ever cultivated. For winter flowering it has no equal; also equally valuable for the border in summer. Flowers large and full, of good form and a rich shade of yellow; grand foliage, beautiful in itself with its lovely crimson shadings on the young growth. The Bride. Pure white, of large size and most perfect form. The buds are pointed and edge of petals slightly turned back. Has delicious fragrance. A strong grower and free bloomer, either for summer or winter flowering. Excellent for all purposes. A. Sport from Catherine Mermet, equally as large and fine, while a little more free in blooming habit. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
