AUTUMN DAWN (Nies) This charming variety is ideally suited for landscape effects . It is a clear, bright blend of old gold and pink, and is especially charming when planted in a group with a clear blue, such as Shining Waters or Pacific. A distinctive and valuable feature of Autumn Dawn is its free blooming habit. In Southern California it is practically an ever-bloomer, and produces flowers which are excellent for cutting many months of the year. Reports from
all parts of the country assure us of its excellent performance and complete hardiness. 28 inches.
35c; 3 for 75c.
