Radiant and glowing is the tall upstanding red with tints of 
copper and tan on the margins of the sepals and petals. The

graceful form, the stalks have wide branching. August. 50 in.

ple eye zone.

This is a solid self. The whole flower is about the color of 
chrome, being rich deep yellow, and the wide overlapping petals 
open full. The 6-inch bloom remains longer after being cut than 
any I have ever seen, and the plant is an almost constant 
bloomer. This variety is the earliest of the giants to bloom.
