DAYSPRING (1936). Another exquisite early yellow which in time of bloom follows hard on Moongold; a light yellow self in effect with a wash of metallic orange gold across the fall; exceptionally warm and appealing in the garden. This is a new break in yellow which appeared unexpectedly in a brood of seedlings bred for reds; we might think it adventitious did not shape, texture, size, and character of venation conform to others in the series, which came from an inbred second generation of Mesopotamia-—Lent A. Williamson cross, by pollen of Nancy Orne. With this curious ancestry it should prove of enormous value in breeding as it carries potent pollen and is a heavy seeder; 40 in.; stock small. each $20.00. [S.S. Berry, Catalog 1936]
