The beauty and symmetry of its form combined with the velvety gloss of its rich and intense color has 
never failed to create enthusiastic comment. Shaded to flower for the 1945 National Chrysanthemum

vigorous, and healthy and because of the strong consumer demand for this color, it commands premium 
prices.
