This is one of the best of the new varieties 
on the market. Can’t say too much for it. Up 
to date growers who have tried if are very 
enthusiastic about it. IF you want to keep in 
the front line of growers do not neglect 
Sparks. It is a good propagator and will make 
you money. Tho the color description is some- 
what like some other varieties it is really dis- 
tinct and extremely showy. A must have for 
everyone.
