BRAVADO (Hall, '59) Each $1.50; 3 for $4.00 



Deepest golden yellow, ruffled and with wide petals. There is 

 something about this flower— heaviness of texture, metallic glisten, 

 or uniform depth of golden richness— that draws instant attention in 

 the garden or on the show table. Height 33-36 inches. HM AIS, 

 1959; AM, 1963. Shown on page 57. 



BREATHLESS (Schreiner, '62) Each $7.50

BRIGHT CLOUD CO. Brown, '61) Each $4.00 



With white standards and blue falls this descendant of Melodrama

 1962. See page 30. 



BRIGHT FORECAST (Hamblin, '60) Each $3.00

BROADWAY STAR (Schreiner, '57) Each $1.50; 3 for $4.00
