RED DOUBLES. Auten Originations 
With the addition of Cleopatra and Paul Revere (see 1939 
introductions) to June Brilliant, Lucky Star and in cool 
climates, Viking, a very large gap in a balanced list has

double reds has heretofore been felt keenly.

full double red, extremely brilliant, rather flat

slender wiry stems, fine for cutting. About 5
