From Carl Sabach catalog 1950: STATEN ISLAND (Kenneth Smith). In our judgment, this is near the top of the list of new variegates. Very bright, sharp, contrasting colors. Standards are bright yellow, and falls very rich reddish brown. Fine form, well branched stems, good growing habits, and hardy. Mid-season. 30". $10.00; 3 for $25.00.
