Like No. 9, but with flowers pink instead of blue. Sterile. First obtained by Samuel Henshaw, New Brighton, N. Y., about 1892. There are slight differences in the quality of the pink color as grown by different persons; it usually contains a shade of blue, but Mr. Sturtevant has nearly a pure pink (perfecta) ; his rubra variety is rather deeper in color than any others we have seen.
