Melrose (1943) 
Seedling No. 36110 — (3411 Blue seedling X Picardy) 
VOTE OF COMMENDATION from Maryland Trial Gardens. This flower 
has a striking color and beautiful form. The color of the large ruffled 
tlorets is between deep rose pink of bluish cast anu rose red, blending into 
an American Beauty color throat. Planu is of medium height but can build 
a good spike, in fact we had spikes of Melrose as good as choice Picardy. 
Whenever we had cut spikes of Melrose to offer they were eagerly taken 
by florists and cutflower customers. Good propagator. We have few glads 
in this color.

Conchita (1943) 
Seedling No. 3-3530 —- (Seedling X Picardy) 
COMMENDATION AWARD by the Maryland Trial Gardens. The 5 to 
6 inch beautifully shaped ruffled florets are clean unflecked light orange, 
blending to a lighter throat, overlaid with a small blended blotch. Plants 
are tall and rangy. Opens around 6 large florets with 4 showing color. It’s 
hard to describe this beautiful flower but I guarantee you’ll like it. Reports 
such as “3-3530-C has the most beautiful floret I ever saw” or ‘3-3530-C is 
a very beautiful glad” give you an idea what you can expect.

Fiancee (1943) 
Seedling No. 36132 (Sweetheart X Picardy, X Christabel) 
I can still see the fine slender spike with it’s beautiful pure chaste 
florets this seedling produced the first time it bloomed in 1937. Since then 
it has continued to thrill me. It is an early bloomer, large decorative type, 
good propagator and builds tall slender spikes with large florets. Several 
years ago we showed spikes of this at one of our shows where a prominent 
grower called it a glorified Sweetheart. Fiancee has the same large prom- 
inent white throated blending to pale pink, floret as Sweetheart but the 
florets are up to six inches and the plants are tall. A large vase or basket 
of this is a beautiful sight.

Melloglow 1942 
Delicate pale pastel creamy buff. This must be seen in quantity in a 
vase to be really appreciated. We cut quantities of MELLOWGLOW the 
past season for the florist trade and a bunch of this in a florist’s cooler 
was always the outstanding delicate colored variety. 
Plants are of medium height but tall enough to make a good spike. 
Opens up more florets than the usual Picardy seedling. MELLOWGLOW 
usually opens 7 to 8 florets and is outstanding among the delicate colored 
varieties. Has to it’s credit a FIRST CLASS CERTIFICATE, CHAMPION 
SEEDLING AWARD and AMERICAN HOME ACHIEVEMENT MEDAL.
