Sword Dance. A very strong rival to Nippon Brilliant 
for top honors in the medium dark reds. Careful 
comparison by several experts disclosed that the 
color of Nippon Brilliant is a little clearer. The 
general effect at a distance is almost identical, 
Sword Dance may have larger blooms and make 
a larger plant, but both of them completely out¬ 
class the older medium dark reds. Stock very 
limited. 12.00
