ULTRAPOISE rNo/d, '62; Each $10.00

UTAH CREAM (Muhlesfein, '54) Each $1 .00; 3 for $2.50 



As luscious as it sounds, delightfully formed, flaring, waved, heavy

 stems. HM AIS, 1954.

VALIMAR (Hamblen, '58) Each $1 .50; 3 for $4.00 



Derived from Palomino, its a smooth apricot-pink with a wide

 1965.

VIOLET HILLS (Deforest, '56) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



Here is the last word in deep true violet color! The 7-inch flowers 

 shine hke taffeta, even on a rainy day, and they will take rain, 

 wind, or sun. Standards, falls and beard are a uniform rich violet- 

 purple, the beard is lightly tipped blue. 38 inches. HM AIS, 1956; 

 AM, 1958. Winner of the President's Cup 1960. See page 25. 



WANDERING RAINBOW (Tompkins, '65) Each $25.00

 neavy stalks with good branching and reaches 39 inches. Veiy late. 

 HM AIS, 1966. 



WATERMELON (Waters, '54) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50

 and very heavy substance. HM AIS, 1954. 



WAYWARD WIND (Baker, '58) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50

WEDDING BOUQUET (Buttrick, '52) Each $1 .00; 3 for $2.50 



This ruffled beauty has chartreuse buds which unfold into gor- 

 geous pure white flowers leaving the unique color of the buds on 

 the under side of the petals. This gives the entire blossom a hint 

 of cool greenish ivory. 35 inches. HM AIS, 1952; AM, 1956. 



WENATCHEE KID (Noyd, '58) Each $3.50 



Large tan, with most striking haft markings of burnt sienna. The

 greenish midrib line to add further distinction. 34-36 inches;
