HARRIET HILL (H. M. Hill 1949—Seed- 
ling No. 5-49)—During the 1950 season 
this seedling was the subject of more 
comment and praise than any other in 
our garden. In color it is a brown 
purple blend, slightly bicolored and with 
a yellow stripe on the midrib; the eye- 
zone area is darker in color and the 
throat orange yellow. The color is rich 
and in our experience it is unique. Petals 
are broad, overlapping, veined and ruff- 
led. The substance is very heavy and 
blooms last well into the night. In 1950 
it first bloomed on June 19th and by 
July 19th, exactly one month later, the 
first of a second crop of stems was just 
starting to open flowers, so bloom was 
practically continuous until late Septem-
