across, on tall, branching stems. Sturdy 
214-ft. plants. Blooms in early Oct.—a 
glorious, full display. In a bed or border

RED VELVET 
A ttue aristocrat, directly related to the 
favorite bronze, Mrs. Pierre S. du Pont III. 
Some of the iridescence of the du Pont 
blooms is also present in Red Velvet, in- 
creasing the velvety depth of the flower and 
- creating almost a bronze sheen that lends a 
two-toned effect to the young petals. Rich 
velvety crimson with glowing sheen; the 
color gradually changes to even darker 
crimson, providing added interest as the
