MEL NEWFIELD. A very large and beautiful red and purple 
double that enjoys warm weather! The opening flowers are 
Amethyst violet (35/1 HCC*) marbled carmine (21/0 HCC*} 
while the mature blossoms become deepest cyclamon purple 
(30/0 HCC*). The spreading corolla is backed by long 
reflexed turkey red sepals (721/71 HCC*). Slim short red 
tube. Light to medium wood with large leaves. This variety 
has been garden tested in Sacramento, California where test 
plants carried 50 to 60 fully double flowers at one time. It 
is not only heat tolerant but requires heat for best develop- 
ment, hence not recommended for cool gardens.
