JANET BUTLER (McKee '38) Try Janet, as Mr. McKee did, planted 
in a little clump, with a stone or two near by. This is a bright flower 
with loads of charm. The gay yellow standards are slightly bronzed 
with lavender; the semi-flaring falls are yellow with a blending of 
copper and red. Maroon venations accent the wide yellow haft, and 
there is an orange beard. 35". H.M. '37. $3.00 
JASMANIA (Ayres '35) Luscious rich banana yellow; most perfect 
form, closed standards and artistic outstretched falls; ideal immense 
size; and superlative substance. There's the faintest touch of lavender 
in the center of the falls and the very wide hafts are bronze-tinged, 
but the color effect is a warm yellow over all. 42". A.M. '37. $3.50 
JEAN CAYEUX (Cay. '31) Sparkling Havana-brown as if sprinkled 
with gold dust — a wonderful flower with wavy rounded petals and 
flaring form. 36". 50*

orange beard. 40". A.M. '35. 60* 
JELLOWAY (Park. '36) So rich, so bright, so clear a yellow that it
