PORT WINE (Sass, '50) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



Deep wine-red standards shot with white, the falls broad and rounded 

 with an almost solid border of wine-purple. The color is sharp and 

 vivid— a quality missing in many plicatas with less heavy pattern. Height 

 3 feet. HM AIS, 1950; AM, 1953. See page 31. 



PRETENDER (Cook, '51) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



The best of a series of "blue-failed variegatas" from the originator of 

 Amigo, Indiana Night, Pink Bountiful, Dreamcastle, Tranquil Moon 

 and a multitude of famed varieties. Standards are soft yellow, falls solid 

 velvety blue-purple with narrow lighter margin. Genuinely different! 35 

 inches tall with large flowers. HM AIS, 1952; AM, 1955. Shown on page 27. 



PRETTY CAROL (Hamblen, '59) Each $15.00 



Lovely rich orchid self with a lighter area in the center of the falls, 

 highlighted by a complementary tangerine beard. The large flowers are 

 broad and fully formed, stalks heavy and well branched, reaching three 

 feet or more. One of the very best from this new hybridizer of excep- 

 tional seedlings. HM AIS, 1959. 



PRETTYFiELD (Cook, '59) Each $20.00 



Clean white standards; white falls delicately banded or flushed clear blue 

 around the outer margins. The beard is bright yellow. This may sound 

 like the familiar blue plicata pattern but it is a decidedly dif- 

 ferent type. Emma Cook and Wonderment are in this category. 

 Large flower; 36-inch stems. We like this one very much. HM Mtk 

 AIS. 1959. 



PRETTY GAY (Plough, '57) Each $5.00 



Pure white with a startling fiery red beard. There are no haft 

 markings to mar its chaste beauty. Increases rapidly, blooms freely 

 and branches well. HM AIS, 1957. 



PRETTY QUADROON (Kleinsorge, '48) Each $1 .50; 3 for $4.00 



Smooth, metallic, light copper-brown or pale tan, with a hint of laven- 

 der and gold as an undertone. The flowers are of faultless form— wide 

 hafts, spreading falls and large, closed standards. The beard is brown. 

 It is a color most difficult to describe but it has much more life and 

 attraction than these coppery tans usually provide. Height 33 to 36 

 inches. HM AIS, 1948; AM, 1950. Pictured on page 12.
