shade of red, outstanding in its dis- 
tinctiveness. The scintillating hue 
retains its depth throughout the long 
life of the blooms, approaching the 
spectrum red on color charts. In early 
spring occasionally there are two-tone 
variations between the outer and inner 
petals; during the summer the entire 
flowers are intense red and remain 
so till frost. The charming petals

flower resembles a camellia.
