BALLERINA (Ha\\, '51) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



A very large, ruffled, wide petaled flamingo-pink self with 

 deep orange beard. It is a medium to light tone of pink . . . 

 not pale but having plentv of color, a shade lighter than 

 Cherie. Petals are thick and lustrous, the form ideal. Husky 

 stems 3 feet tall, with excellent branching. HM AIS, 1951; 

 AM, 1953. See page 21. 



BALLET DANCER (Kleinsorge, '49) Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 



Resembling the swirling skirt in a "pirouette" this distinctive apricot- 

 tan is another Cascade Splendor seedling and a sister of Minuet. 

 Standards are large, full and closed. The falls are almost horizontal, 

 very broad, waved and crimped at the rim. Form is only one special 

 attribute . . . the coloring is delightful— a buffy golden apricot self 

 which carries well. 38 inches, large and well branched. HM AIS, 

 1949. AM, 1952. See page 27. 



BANG (Craig, '55) Each $5.00 



A new red with a name in keeping with the impression it creates in 

 the garden! Broad falls of brilliant color and heavy substance, slightly 

 waved; it owes its fine form to Cordovan, one of its parents. Height 

 36 inches. HM AIS, 1955, AM, 1960. 



BAZAAR (Schreiner, '55) Each $2.00 



A glorified version of Raspberrv Ribbon, far more brilliant and more 

 deeply colored. The blooms are verv large, on 36-inch stems. The 

 picture on page 17 gives you a good idea of this new plicata. HM 

 AIS, 1956. 



BEECHLEAF (Kleinsorge, '55) Each $3.00 



This seedling of Pretty Quadroon has attracted a lot of attention for 

 the past several seasons. It is more ruffled than its parent and, while 

 bearing some resemblance because of its brownish hue, it is more 

 coppery and is enlivened bv a violet undertone. The beard is orange- 

 brown. Very large blooms on 3-foot stalks. HM AIS, 1955; AM, 1959. 

 Pictured on page 40. 



BIG GAME (Fay, '54) Each $3.50 



A self of the deepest shade of violet. Usually has three huge flowers 

 open at one time on the straight. 38-inch stems. Since it produces from 

 12 to 15 blooms per stem it has an extra long flowering season. HM 

 AIS, 1954; AM, 1958. 



BIG TIME (Lapham, '51) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



This is a big new deep red with a rosy cast in the standards. Falls are 

 velvety and appear almost black-red in certain lights. Hafts are brown- 

 ish and the beard is bronzy orange-yellow. Huge in size and a good 

 grower. 3 l A feet, well branched.
