 portant characteristics. The plants grow about two feet high; 

 the flowers, which are produced in lavish profusion, are of 

 splendid texture and stand well above the foliage, and are of 

 a rich golden yellow without markings or shadings. (See 

 cut.) 



Royal Purple (Atropurpurea). A splendid, large very 

 free flowering, pure, rich royal purple, without the slightest 

 shadings, a splendid companion to plant with Sherwin-Wright, 

 the rich purple of Atropurpurea with the golden yellow of 

 Sherwin-Wright forming a beautiful color combination.
