Apple Blossom (Origin unknown) 7.7 This rating was given in 1925, and we 
feel that it is not fair to the variety, as in our estimation it deserves a some-

aptly named, for it is a true apple blossom pink. Very dainty and good to look 
at. Plant has good growing habits and is medium in height. Good, free bloomer.
