BUCKEYE KING, F. D. (Peck) 
A very large, clear glowing amber yellow that 
won wherever exhibited this fall. Stems are long, 
always good with all flowers facing. The bushes 
are very vigorous and all the same. After the 
crown flower, many laterals are rapidly and 
simultaneously produced. Disbudding should be 
thorough to the base of each lateral. The flower 
is the perfect formal type and was the sensation 
of the introducer’s fields. Its long keeping quali¬ 
ties will commend it to the grower of discrimin¬ 
ation. Buckeye King is on Mr. Hart’s Roll of 
Honor, 1933.
