From Milliken See below: Gardens catalog, 1950: We are proud of Trail Blazer. As the name implies, it is a fiery red-mulberry purple, shot with blue at the tip of the beard which spreads over the central portion of the falls creating a startlingly brilliant color effect. A touch of deep ruby red flanks the cinnamon beard and adds depth and richness to the flower. The standards arch and are closed, while the falls are shaggy and slightly ruffled. A most interesting flower. 3½ to 4 feet. $15.00
