Belmar 1942 
A large fluted and ruffled creamy pink, 
light apricot throat, overlaid slight light red 
feather. Good substance and texture. 
Under field culture the always straight 
spikes open 5 to 6—5%% to 6-inch florets but 
can be grown to much larger proportions 
as report from the FRAZIER FLOWER 
GARDENS, WOODLAND, WASH., indi- 
cates. Their report on BELMAR, under 
seedling No. 3559G states: 
“53-inch spike; head length 23 inches; 
20 buds; 8 open; 7 showing color; size of 
florets 7 inch;’” with remarks: ‘Liked this 
glad. Proportioned well, and the large 
florets well balanced by buds showing 
color. This should do well.”

Have also seen BELMAR grown by others 
that would classify as mammoth type. Be- 
Sides being able to produce large flowers, 
BELM@AR also has beautiful color and form. 
Being a good propagator, and having 
been tested six years, we have sufficient 
stock to allow a low introductory price as
