WESTERN WELCOME (Nelson '63) A brown-amber blend that we saw for the first time this year and liked. It is very floriferous, but the stems do not seem crowded. The flowers are of good size, excellently formed, with lots of ruffling and a definite flair. It would appear to be an excellent performer.
