CHINQUAPIN 



PRETTYFIELD (Cook, '59) Each $7.50 



Clean white standards; white falls delicately 

 blended 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 different type. Emma Cook and 

 Wonderment are in this category. Large flower; 

 36-inch stems. We like this one very much. HM 

 AIS, 1959. See page 56. 



PRETTY GAY (Plough, '57) 



Each $1.50; 3 for $4.00 



Pure white with a startling fiery red beard. 

 There are no haft markings to mar its chaste 

 beauty. Increases rapidly, blooms freelv and 

 branches well. HM AIS, 1957. 



PRETTY QUADROON (Kleinsorge, '48) 



Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



Smooth, metallic, light copper-brown or pale 

 tan, with a hint of lavender 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 usu- 

 ally provide. Height 33 to 36 inches. HM AIS, 

 1948; AM, 1950. Pictured on page 57. 



PRINCE OF MONACO (Kleinsorge, '56) 



Each $1.50 



A regal flower in two shades of purple, heavily 

 suffused brown on the haft and sporting a rich 

 yellow beard. The standards are brilliant violet- 

 blue, with crinkled appearance of a Poppy petal. 

 The broad falls flare out widely and are waved 

 at the edges, a lustrous deep violet-purple which 

 has the appearance of heavy velvet. Stalks are 

 strong and reach almost 4 feet in height. 



PURPLE HAVEN (Reynolds, '57) 



Each $3.00 



A very rich and brilliant deep true purple self, 

 including the beard. Larger, taller and a great 

 improvement on the well known, older Vice- 

 Regal. For sharp garden contrast plant it near 

 a deep yellow or cream. 36 inches. HM AIS, 1957. 



QUEEN'S LACE (Muhlesiein, '55) 



Each $2.00

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

 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 55. 



PRETENDER (Cook, '51) Each 75c ; 3 for $2.00

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

 ferent! 35 inches tall with large flowers. HM AIS, 1952; AM, 1955.

Lovel) i i<h orchid self with a lighter area in the center of the falls, 

 highlighted l>\ a complementary tangerine beard. The large flowers

 exceptional seedlings. HM AIS, 1959; AM, 1961.

 and different. HM AIS, 1953; AM, 1955. Shown on page 53. 



RAINBOW GOLD (Plough, '60) Each $12.50

 them, with straight stems and fine branching. Very large. 36 inches 

 tall. HM AIS, 1944; AM, 1946. 



RASPBERRY RIBBON (Schreiner, '51) Each 75c ; 3 for $2.00

 (enter of a surrounding band matching the standards. Beard is 

 orange. HM AIS. 1951; AM, 1955.
