SUNSET, BCD Pat. App. For 
A striking late double that is unusual in several re- 
spects. Buds are deep mauve carmine; the fully 
double flowers with numerous long “‘petals’’ are 
large, over an inch wide and ruddy purple. Comes 
nearer to a real ‘‘double red’ than anything else we 
have ever seen. In our opinion surpasses Mrs. Edward 
Harding. Named for the magazine which has done 
so much for Pacific Coast horticulture. For sale only 
west of the Rockies and abroad.

Double Flowering 
ALICE EASTWOOD, ABCD 
The flowers are double with coloring on the order 
of Katherine Havemeyer, dark claret purple buds 
changing to bluish purple as flowers expand, and 
finally becoming mauve pink (H. C. C. 30/3). The 
long, slim, elegant bud spikes are borne well above 
the foliage and are suggestive of purple “‘cat-tails.” 
The clusters are beautifully formed, usually regu- 
larly four-sided, and frequently come paired. They 
are well filled with flowers but not crowded which 
is such a serious fault with so many doubles. Bloom- 
ing time is about mid-season or slightly after. The 
plant is both vigorous and productive. Other inter- 
esting points are that the stamens are remarkably 
conspicuous, bracts show among the flowers, frag- 
rance is excellent and clusters “make up’ beauti- 
fully when cut. Named, of course, in honor of the 
beloved dean of California botanists. 
CAPT. PERRAULT, BE
