GEORGE GRAPPE. (36 inches high). A Van Tubergen masterpiece! 
An enormous flower of soft mauve or clear lavender blue with a 
delicate bronze cast, and a spotless clear blue base. One of the 
very tallest Breeders. It is not difficult to think of many early 
flowers of contrasting or harmonizing shades that used with this 
variety would create most artistic pictures in the garden. A great 
favorite with every discriminating gardener.
