MERCER INTROS for 2000

Sara Mercer

SARA MERCER had to be introduced from the time Ed Zahler saw it at the 1994 Region 15 regional. That's because he made we walk across two fields to look at it. Then the late Ra Hansen visited in the summer of 1998 and told me in no uncertain terms that I was a fool if I didn't introduce it. I promised that I would. It is big, bold, vigorous, very pink and has slight rouging around the throat. It is another of those offspring of the wonderful VISION OF BEAUTY bred by Kate Carpenter of Lake Norman, N.C. , though it is out of 3rd-generation crosses from that incredible parent.
