GAY VAGABOND (Nesmith 1941) M. L. A gay and festive plicata of deep mulberry and vellow that has attracted a great deal of attention in the garden. The highly domed standards are soft Indian yellow flushed and dotted with gold and mulberry. The falls are arched and half flaring of deeper yellow dotted and stitched at the edge with deeper ruddy mulberry. Medium sized flowers with much better form and branching than many of the new plicatas. 38 in. $5.00. [Mrs. Thomas Nesmith, Fairmount Gardens Catalog, Lowell, Massachusetts, Introductions for 1941. Summer 1942-Spring 1943]. |
