Horteiise Barbereau. Remarkably fine, large, cherry- red trusses of immense size ; a decided improvement on all others of this type; excellent for massing; habit comjiact and strong; foliage rich dark green ; 3* ft. Mile. Berat. A decided acquisition on account of its color, which is the nearest approach to a pink in a first-class bedder. Many of the sorts heretofore offered as pink, while very pretty in the individual flower, have a " washed-out ' appearance both on the single plant or when planted in masses. In this variety, however, the larger the mass the finer the effect, and when planted in conjunction with yellows and high-colored reds it is simply superb ; height 4 ft.
