Medium light blue violet 5 inch florets. 
10 to 16 open, 23 buds, 55 inches tall.

is bloomed out in hot weather in garden 
we suggest staking so massive a spike.

seedling in the South Australian G.S., 
35. We register the first win with Blue 
Wonder at Ind., ’38, Ohio, N.E.G.S. and

RAYSHEEN 80 *—ttt Dec. Com. Delicate, 
soft tones of medium light blue violet, with 
slight deeper feathering and a small, soft 
yellow mark on lip petal. Very vigorous 
grower and best propagator we have ever 
discovered among the blues. We have 
reports of some crooking in extreme 
weather and a few did for us but this 
variety consistently gave us the largest 
flowerheads of any in this color section.

Bluish, medium mauve violet with 
harmonizing deeper blotch. Tall, exhibi-

Very unusual color. Reminiscent of 
Marmora but deeper, and likely, better 
color. Powerful grower, good propagator, 
does not bloom well from small bulbs but 
otherwise has good cut flower character- 
istics. A promising new one. Our Ist
