than most of the brighter reds. There are 
three and at times four branches per stem.

of this splendid new red. H. M., 1950. $7.50

pinks—it is a seedling of Hi-Time—the

color this is indeed supreme. (Seedling

sweet lavender shading to blue with gold- 
en brown hafts with a metallic luster. Pic-
