Patrick,
    I ordered and duly planted CRIMSON KING myself, so the name was very familiar to me.  I can't wait to see it bloom...sounds so pretty.  Good luck with all yours!

Thanks so much for answering Lynn.  I am going to have to get Superstition's catalog next year for sure!  You have been very helpful.  I had no idea I had a historic in my hands.  Kewl!

"CRIMSON KING  (Barr 1893)  IB--RE--IT IS NOT CRIMSON, but reddish purple; white white hafts and B;  early;  from England..........3.00."
 
Yes, really!
