From Quality Gardens catalog 1931: FASCINATION (Cayeux 1927) M. 48". Unquestionably one of the best rose pinks. Flowers of enormous size, of a pure, clear color, satinly texture and great substance. The foliage and flower stalks are essentially strong and rampant in growth. Next to Pink Satin, we think it the best pink. $10.00.
