CAROUSEL (G. Douglas 1948) M. This large, tall, flaring flower of heavy substance and smooth finish was given its name because it reminds one of the brilliant, dazzling colors of a carnival. The medley of magenta, violet, and gold is so skillfully combined that the color effect is bright lavender-rose. The heavy orange beard accentuates the boldness of pattern. This large flowered variety is especially valuable for the back of the border on account of its tall, strong stalks, and great freedom of bloom. 44 in. $10.00. Fairmount Gardens Catalog, Lowell, Massachusetts, Introductions for 1948.
