lia is a seedling of Son of Satan, crossed 0>akleigh Monarch, 
and has the good qualities of both parents combined. The

brilliantly illuminated flowers have been grown up to eleven

ed* and its long slender, wiry branches permit the blooms 
being cut with stems 3 feet and over in length. Foliage dark 
green and very resistant to damage from chewing and suck¬ 
ing insects.
