References:

ZUNI. A glorious, glowing red-brown, overlaid with a coppery suffusion. Very early, but with so many buds to the stalk that it lasts well into the season. The falls are a brilliant red when seen with the sun's ray through them, and the standards seem as if sprinkled with gold dust. This is one of the most outstanding new varieties seen in the writer's tour of over 10,000 miles the past blooming season. Large in size, well branched, and about 40 inches in height. Each $8.00; three for $20.00 [Cooley's Wholesale pricelist, 1932]
