TAPESTRY. A subtle blend of monster size, smoky mulberry in general color effect, with the center of the fall intensely colored, passing out to the smoky tones of the standards. This variety calls to mind Dr. Ayres' famous 'Persia', but the dominant note is dull red instead of dull blue. TAPESTRY is a favorite of Mrs. Ayres, who admired it especially as a cut flower in the house. Each $8.00; three for $20.00 [Cooley's Wholesale pricelist, 1932]
