This name was chosen to commemorate in some 
degree the deeds of our fellow Americans, many of 
whom gave their lives that we may live. It is a 
plant ert emendots vigor that will grow and bloom 
_ freely under most adverse conditions and there is 
scarcely a period during the season when magnifi- 
"cent buds and flowers are not available. The flow- 
ers are borne on vigorous canes and the bud is 
exceptionally long and pointed. The upper surface 
of the petals is a delicate shade of shell-pink, shaded 
golden-bronze at the base. The outer, or reverse 
side of the petals is vivid Tyrian-rose. Last, but 
not least, the plants of Pearl Harbor are practically 
thornless.
