OUR 1936 INTRODUCTION 
NANCY DUNNE 
NANCY DUNNE (Peck-Ailing) I. D. The old Californian, 
Papillon, has long been a favorite of many growers. 
However, it had the faults of being rather short in 
stem and the flowers did not keep well when cut. In 
Nancy Dunne we have a very much glorified Papillon. 
It may be cut on stems three feet or more in length 
and the blooms last exceptionally well when cut. 
We used it in a huge blue vase as the centerpiece of our 
prize winning New York display, where it created much 
favorable comment. It is on Hart’s Honor Roll and is 
also mentioned on two other selected lists. 
The color is a bit difficult to describe, being a combination 
of salmon, tan and gold, w r ith just a slight magenta re¬ 
verse, although this is not very noticeable. Plants grow 
quite tall and should be topped for best results.
