PACEMAKER 100 **—f{f{ Exh. Smooth. 
medium-light pink. Prominent, smooth 
white throat. 12-16 open. Immense 
flowerheads on medium length stems. Top 
score Exh. Seedling and Champion Seed- 
ling Bloom (all types), winning two blue 
ribbons and the large sterling silver 
Stella M. Antisdale Seedling Trophy, 
joint Ohio-Mahoning at Ravenna, Ohio, 
34. Without injuring frontal appearance 
its florescence is such that it sometimes 
fills out 24 around the stem instead of just 
4. With our cultivation the stem only 
approximates the length of the flowerhead. 
The spike shown in the _ illustration 
only had ten open but the florets were 
larger than usual, the first 74% and the 
tenth 51% inches dia.; the flowerhead 26 
and the entire cut spike 50% inches long. 
Not a fast propagator and stocks still 
limited. Our 1st and Grand Champion at 
Mah. (2nd show), ’39. Our ist (3 spikes 
each showing 12-13 open), Ohio, ’40.
