BLUE TRIUMPH (Griiiter 1934) M. L. 
42 in. Truly a triumph in clear light blue 
coloring; this flower has grace, poise and 
unusually firm substance as well. Its one 
fault—that it fades in very hot sun—can 
be made an advantage by using it in a 
partly shaded corner. With Eros, Apri¬ 
cot Glow or Coralie it will make a ‘come 
hither’ group that will be fresh and 
lovely to the end of the season. H. M. 
1933, A. M. 1936, Per. R. 91, 1936.
