From Marx Gardens catalog, 1962: ROYAL CROWN (Marx 1961) Each $7.50. Adjectives become harder and harder to find for describing these gorgeous New Marhigos. A magnificent red and white selection that differs from others in its color class because the beet red border is much wider than in any other one we have introduced to date. Additional qualities are extra fine texture and heavy substance of the blooms. Crested white centers composed of several thick white petaloids give an overall solid appearance. This is our first introduction in a bicolor group that might be termed "half and half". One of the last to bloom. 4-1/2 to 5 feet. Picture page 8. |
