References:

From Cooley's Garden 1959 catalog: CHI-CHI (Hall, 1959) Each $20.00. Deeper in color than May Hall; a seedling of that famous variety crossed with Limelight. This is a sumptuous shade of pink, a large smooth flower without ruffles. Petals are wide and well formed, the stalks robust with good branching and it increases rapidly. It is one of the "pinkest" of all Hall productions and we hesitated to introduce it only because we regard May Hall so highly. But everyone says it should be in the catalog, so here it is. Seedling No. 53-13. 35 inches in height.
From Fleur De Lis Gardens catalog 1964: CHI CHI (Hall '591 M. 35 in. (May Hall x Limelight). A large, broad-petaled and well-formed flower similar to but several shades deeper than May Hall. H.M. '61. 3.00 .
