    Krussman lists the breeder as L.P. Hart, with the year of introduction 1933.

    I've had a wee search and cannot explain Krussman's reference but I have added this reference and another few. It surely must be an error when one looks at 'Heart's Desire's pollen parent - 'Crimson's Glory's 1935 date.

    Krüssman has mixed up the name with 'Hearts Delight' by Hart (1933).
