CHARLES MASTIC f.d. (Mastic) Bloom 8” x 32”. 
Bush 47 
A one-toned bloom of a rich golden orange that in some 
seasons shows a pinkish cast. This flower has a fascinat- 
ingly different, stream-lined shape. It does not begin to 
round back until the petals in the last outer rows make a 
sudden sweep stemward. The young unfolding petals 
at the full center are gracefully curled. The maturing 
petals are broad and look as though they were ruffled 
on. Aneespecially finervcuttlower. om. aeons. - LOC:

inesolooms throughout the season. ...0....-.-. 1.00
