From Trenholme Garden catalog 1931: MY MARYLAND (Sheets 1930. H.M., A.I.S. 1930) E.94, G.96, M. S. to L. 52". S. petunia-violet, flushed rose, shaded ochraceous buff at base; F. deep, velvety amaranth-purple, overlaid garnet-brown, shaded ochraceous buff at base; sweetly scented. The crest, style and stigma are the same golden yellow as the base of the standard and fall, producing a wonderful halo of gold which surrounds the prominent bright orange beard. Sir Michael only approaches it in the richness of the throat. A Glowing Embers X Cardinal seedling, resembling the former in color but of a redder tone, and more richly colored, with the form and all the brightness and charm of the latter. A vigorous grower producing enormous flowers of fine form and substance on tall, very strong, magnificently branched stalks. The flowers are produced in profusion over a long period, there being from eleven to twenty-one blooms per stalk. The color carries unusually well on the landscape, being unsurpassed in this respect.
