MAN O’ WAR [Boone-Rushmohr], I. D. 
Color an ox-blood red, with plenty of life, the blooms 
which are large are held erect and facing sideways on 
long strong cane-like stems, well out and above the heavy 
dark green foliage. It is a variety that will bloom with 
the earliest and continue right up to frost. A strong, 
robust growing plant that attracted quite a lot of atten- 
ion at our gardens this past season.
