 to almost white at the top of the standards and the bottom of the 

 falls. The entire flower is ruffled and edged in lace. Unopened

 berry' and a soft tint of mulberry barely present near the rim of 

 the falls. Petals are decidedly crimped and fluted at the margins.

 copper-brown effect than we have in the parent. Rather late. 34 

 inches. Shown on page 28. 



TOP FAVORITE (Schreiner, '57) Each $1 .00; 3 for $2.50

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

 in texture. Cream is the one color which will combine with and

 greens of the grass and foliage. This one flowers late on 36-inch 

 stems. HM AIS, 1954.
