BLUE WONDER (E. Both) 95 *—ftUExh. 
Medium light blue violet 5 inch florets, 
10 to 16 open, 23 buds, 55 inches tall. 
Placement excellent, substance good, 
foliage up to 3 inches across. If flower 
is bloomed out in hot weather in garden 
we suggest staking so massive a spike. 
This variety won Champion bloom as a 
seedling in the South Australian G.S., 
’35. We register the first win with Blue 
Wonder at Ind., ’38. L 1.50 M 1.00 S .50

JOSEF HAYDN 90 Exh. Light 
heliotrope-violet with spectacular dark 
blue violet blotch. Florets are large, wide 
open, of heavy substance and well placed 
on slender but straight stems. This 
variety offers a genuine novelty color 
combination of great charm. It has not 
propagated as fast as we would like but 
we believe we now have the stocks ac¬ 
climated. We are approaching conclusion 
that this variety is Pfitzer’s best blue.
