AMARANTH (Whiting 1942) M. 36in. This isa pleasing new color, close to amaranth 
purple of the charts although somewhat less rosy, a bit more toward mauve or 
mallow purple. We chose the name from Greek legend where the amaranth 
was the fabled “ever fresh and fadeless flower’ and it seemed fitting because 
this rosy purple seedling Stayed in attractive bloom throughout the entire season. 
It does not call out loudly for attention but no one ever passes it by and all 
are attracted by its smooth, even coloring and cheerful personality. The blooms 
are large and gracefully formed, of oval contour, with many flowers on the well 
branched stalks. The plants are strong and hardy; they bloom very freely and 
increase well. $10.00 
ANNABEL (Whiting 1942) M. 36 in. A charming light blue self of medium size 
and clear, pure coloring—rear to flax blue. It is similar in form and coloring 
to one of its parents, Aline, but has better substance and more than twice as 
many blooms on a stalk. The flcwers hold their fresh color and well rounded 
form in any weather and the many branched stalks insure a long blooming 
season. The strong, hardy plants bloom and increase very freely, hence the 
moderate price. $5.00 
PRISCILLA (Whiting 1942) M. 24 in. When this seedling first bloomed in our 
garden in 1939 it attracted the attention of breeders because of its sheer white- 
ness—it has no touch of any other color, even the beard is pure white. But 
it was short and of modest size and we wondered about its hardiness since it 
came from Purissima x Blue Waves. But it increased well and bloomed freely 
in 1940 with rather short but nicely branched stems and many visitors noticed 
it, admir.ng its trim, well rounded form and snowy whiteness. In 1941 it became 
really outstanding and many names were suggested for it, from which we chose 
Priscilla. A large stcck of sturdy plants permits a low introductory price $5.00
