Shirley Temple *** 
(Pruitt) (Ex) (Com) Immense heavily 
ruffled cream with cream yellow throat. 
6-9 huge massive well placed blooms on a very long spike. Grows very tall and with 
such a heavy flower head that in certain sections and in very warm weather is in¬ 
clined to crook somewhat. However in many places it grows straight and usually 
does in cool weather or late in the season. It is so beautiful that I consider it very 
well worthwhile in spite of its one fault. It is also valuable in hybridizing. By ail 
means try Shirley Temple. See picture of field on page 11.
