From Bonnewitz catalog, 1927: OLIVE MURRELL (Perry). “A magnificent tall-growing, large-flowered variety of unusual coloring which might almost be described as a greatly improved “Quaker Lady.” The S. are of great size and finely arched, deep lavender-rose shot with bronze. The slightly reflexed F. are a rich lavender-blue shot with rose and bronze. The rich buttercup yellow of the beard and style arms lights up the whole flower in a most beautiful manner. The blooms are very sweetly scented. A fine grower and free flowering”. Description by Mr. Murrell of the Orpington Nursery Company. $7.50.
