Description:
Sam Houston Baker of Hope, New Jersey began hybridising in 1927 and registered 51 cultivars.

Other notable cultivars include ‘Look’ and ‘Spellbinder’ (1973). He continued hybridising into the 1980s, known for his distinctive tetraploids. Fragrant flowers of apricot with lavender pink midribs and golden apricot throat.
