From Cooley's Gardens catalog for 1939: "The famous seedling No. 36-71 from David Hall, and about which so much has been said and written. Some call it a glorified and gigantic more colorful Jean Cayeux, with both standards and falls heavily ruffled. General effect is a light coffee-tan with a glint of gold. It towers over Jean Cayeux in stature, does not fade, and is a rapid increaser and free bloomer. The color is difficult to describe, since it is not at all dull, but very bright and lively. Each $15.00."
