BUFF 
AMULET 93 *—t+ Dec. Clear capucine 
orange buff. Heavily ruffled. Has a peachy 
tone not found in Wasaga. Both Amrita 
and Amulet are Picardy X Wasaga crosses, 
probably from the same pod. We feel 
certain that Amulet is the more desirable 
of thetwo. A.M., C.G.S.,’36, A.M. Metro.,

DONNA (Pruitt) 70—tt{ Dec. Com. Golden 
buff, well ruffled. Color much as Wasaga 
but much stretchier spikes, taller, with 
more open. Earliness, good growing 
habits and free bloom from small sizes 
warrant your serious consideration. We 
broke the ice for this new one, winning at
