-buds, 10 to 14 open, have had more; 46 inches tall. 
Strong straight stem. Shown at only two shows, 1940 
—Ohio State and Empire State—winning most open 
florets at both. Had most open at Ohio State last year 
had we entered in the right class. Vote of Commen- 
dation, West Virginia Trial Gardens, 1940. They all 
like it. A slick little weasel. Murderous in the shows. 
Stock not too plentiful yet. No. 1, 2 or 3, $2.00; No. 
4,5 or 6, $1.00; blts., 20c each or 10 for $1.50. 
BRIDE’S DELIGHT 
Picardy X Janet 
(70 Days) . . . Big beautifully ruffled wide open 
cameo pink with clear creamy yellow throat. All very 
clear, no flecks. Only fault some poor placement. Tall, 
nice stretchy flowerhead with no openwork. Bloomed 
ahead of most shows, 1940. Took first spike to bloom 
to West Virginia August 2nd, with only four open, 
awarded tallest spike in the show. Three spikes, 
Wellsville, was runner-up for American Home 
Achievement. Six inch floret, 19 buds, 6 open, 28 inch 
flowerhead, 58 inches tall. Excellent propagator. A 
real beauty. Needs no makeup. Travels on its own 
complexion. Prof. Pastel’s favorite child. Have yet to 
find a single person who hasn’t taken a heavy fall for 
Bride’s Delight after seeing it, even from small bulbs. 
A coming top commercial that will give you a big 
send off at either your wedding or funeral. Large, 
$2.50; medium, $1.50; small, $1.00; blts., 30c each or 
10 for $2.00.

54 inch plus floret; 28 inch flowerhead. Seldom two 
lip. As yet unshown but has the Wilson finesse. No 
monkey show timber. It has an out of the basement

4,5 or 6 size, $2.00; blts., 30c each or 10 for $2.00. 
FRANCES M. IRWIN 
Tangarine X Minuet 
(95 Days) ... Color difficult. In a certain light it is 
lavender rose, while in another light shows rose 
lavender. Blotched. We prefer to manipulate the 
lighting scheme for the rose lavender. Whichever 
way you do it, it’s a beauty. Mr. George B. Burgess, 
So. Windham, Maine, says it was outstanding and 
attracted much attention in his planting. It didn’t do 
any worse for us. Mr. Burgess will be stepping out 
with Frances in his 1941 catalogue. Five to 5¥% inch
