From Iris Test Garden catalog, 1955: LOVE STORY. (Mrs. J. A. Sapp, 1949). M. 37 in. Love Story is a self of rich flamingo pink with a full bright tangerine beard. The flowers are large heavily substanced and the broad petals have a light frill to their edges. The color is particularly clean with no lavender or apricot in its makeup. Plants are strong with tall, well branched stalks and an abundance of perfectly placed blooms. Many judges have put Love Story at the top of the pinks. H.M., 1950. $3.00.
From Fleur De Lis Gardens catalog 1956: LOVE STORY (Sapp 1950) M. 38 in. (Golden Eagle x Hall pink 43-18). Still one of the best of the shell or flamingo pinks, this has strong, tall exceptionally well branched stalks with good sized flowers of delightful flaring form. The substance is heavy and the coloring quite deep. You are sure to like it. H. M. 1950. 2.00.
