Albert Stopford was sent out in the same year and is a very fine sort, superior in form to General Schablikine, although, perhaps not so free. Its colour is a deep bright carmine rose, with coppery centre, this latter colouring being seen in quite a few of M. Nabonnand's seedlings. It was raised from General Schablikine crossed with Papa Gontier.
