GLAMOUR, 1. D. (89) LL., 5 to 6 ft. 
The largest bloom in our 1939 garden. An immense true purple 
deeply edged amarath pink. Something entirely different from any 
existing ; as the bloom develops the petals fall back to the stem 
giving it great depth. Many of the blooms are almost ball shape. 
It has been grown 14 by 11 inches, and we believe it can be 
gi’own larger. It has a stiff stem. The bush is very hardy. Insects 
do not seem to bother it.
