tint of red at the center of undeveloped flowers. Diameter of flowers iy 2 to 1% 
inches; a strong grower and very productive. Height, about 3 feet and matures

BRONZE USONA—This new sport has the general habit and flowering 
period of the parent. It is several shades darker than the upper surface of the 
petals of Frank Wilcox or might be termed a bronzy orange. It is several shades 
darker than November Bronze; about the shade of the upper surface of the
