(Trademark) 
A superlative variety; beautiful, hardy and versatile. The large flame- 
coral trumpets lined with gold, fragrant after nightfall, appear in immense, 
showy clusters the same year the plant is set out. Reaching its full glory 
of bloom in early summer, it nevertheless flowers abundantly from May un- 
til frost. Dark blue-green foliage, disease and pest free, is attractive in it- 
self and makes a perfect background for the brilliance of the flowers. 
Allowed to grow naturally, GOLDFLAME will climb a trellis or spread 
as a ground cover; if pruned it becomes a striking specimen shrub, while if 
planted in a row and sheared it gives a smashing effect as an everblooming 
hedge.
