Introductions for 1937 - 8 
The two Ayres seedlings introduced last year 
bloomed for the first time in our gardens, and re¬ 
ceived favorable comment by the members of A. I. S. 
who attended the convention held in this city. 
ETHEREAL did not bloom until later. But we are 
sure it will be welcomed by all who like soft 
blends. 
ETHEREAL (1938) (LM 40) - Flower measures 6” from 
tip to tip, and the petals are 2 Inches wide, 
S, arching, cupped, bronzy tan with a faint 
violet shading, deepening to old gold at the 
claw; F, broad, straight hanging, with a 
heavy flushing of light aniline blue through¬ 
out the center, palest near the beard. The 
edge is a pale, dull shining copper. Beard 
dull gold. Haft cream with reticulations of 
deep canary yellow changing to fawn, A blend 
difficult to describe, as there is an irldes- 
cense in the standards and edge of falls, 
that light up the flower. It has a carrying 
color in the garden. Well branched, | 7,50
