AFTERGLOW (Sturtevant,
1917). TB, M. S4L. From Cornell 112: Color effect a smoky
lavender-buff and yellowish bronze blend. S. tilleul buff to
smoky pearl, shaded yellowish at base. F. deeper cartridge
buff to buff-yellow, brighter at base of blade, with very brilliant
beard. Fair-sized rounded blooms, freely produced. In gardens
it reaches a height of three to four feet, bearing its flowers
well above the foliage on graceful stems. It is exceptional for
its bewitching color mass in twilight hours and for its delicate
lemon odor. This variety is very effective as a cut flower. Rating
