From Carl Salbach catalog, 1935: RUBIO (Mohr-Mitchell 1931). A magnificent plant with huge flowers beautifully poised on strong stems 48" high. It begins to branch half way up the stem, sending out good wide branches. The standards are deep glistening rose, the broad thick textured falls are of deep maroon. The color cut, page 11, does not show the full, velvety richness that characterizes the falls. $2.50; 3 for $6.00. |
