From Maple Valley Gardens catalog, 1953: SUNSTONE. Whiting 1953. No. 468 (BREAK OF DAWN X ROCKET). Midseason to late. 38 inches. A rich and brilliant near self of orange brown—(brick red by Wilson). Although it becomes somewhat lighter in hot sun, it neither wilts nor burns. Its large flowers are trimly tailored in form, giving it a jaunty air. Of heavy substance throughout, the standards are well domed, the falls neatly flared. The strong, thin, well branched stalks carry many flowers over a long season. The plants are especially strong growing, hardy and prolific. $5.00.
