 blue. HM AIS, 1944. 



COLOR CARNIVAL (Deforest, 1949) Each $7.50 



A startling arrangement of colors in the range of the new pinks. The

 heavy markings of vivid purple on the faDs. Beard is tangerine-red. Big 

 flowers, very well formed, on excellent stalks. HM AIS, 1950. 



COPPER LUSTRE (Kirk, 1934) Each 50c; 3 for $1.25 



Entirely different from all others, its great popularity has resulted not 

 only from the odd and beautiful copper tone of its flowers, but also from 

 the fact that it performs well in cJl sections of the country. It positively 

 glows in its bright copper, gold, and pinkish tan blendings. Dykes Medal, 

 1938.
