HERMITAGE GARDENS ORIGINATIONS 
Introductions of 1943 
APPANOOSE. White Trumpet. A very nice dwarf rock-garden plant 8 to 
10 inches tall. Shovel-pointed perianth segments lean forward and are 
somewhat curved and twisted. The well proportioned trumpet has a nicely 
turned brim. Opens light cream and passes to white. Vigorous, broad 
foliage, prolific. From Madam De Graaff x White Emperor. Each $3.00. 
BASHBISH. Yellow Incomparabilis. Medium-sized richly colored flower on a 
tall stem from a vigorous plant. Very smooth well overlapping pointed 
butter-yellow petals; finely proportioned flaring frilled orange crown. From 
Bernardino x Bokhara. Each $5.00. 
CHICOPEE. Cyclamineus hybrid. A novel rock-garden plant from Obval- 
laris x Cyclamineus that blooms earlier than either parent—the first daffo- 
dil to flower at Hermitage Gardens. Straight yellow trumpet 1% inches 
long by one-half inch in diameter with a bell-shaped mouth evenly and 
neatly corrugated. Petals 1 inch long slightly overlapping and pointing 
backward, of a lighter shade than the trumpet. A little gem. Each $5.00. 
ESOPUS. Bicolor Incomparabilis. A 4-inch distinctive flower of graceful 
carriage. The three outer very broad shovel-pointed petals are 1% inches 
broad; the three inner, somewhat narrower and more pointed. Rich lemon- 
yellow flaring crown 1 inch long and 1% inches across has an attractive 
fluted edge. Strong vigorous plant with blue-green foliage. From Hera x 
Fair Bostonian. Each $5.00. 
MASSASOIT. Yellow Incomparabilis. A very refined and beautiful flower 
of high exhibition quality. The broad, very smooth shovel-pointed petals 
overlap half their length. They are rich yellow in color and as they age 
they lean slightly forward, the points on a line with the darker yellow 
medium-sized flaring crown that has an orange edge. Tall, graceful, and 
vigorous. From Hera x Fair Bostonian. Each $5.00. 
POCAHONTAS. Yellow Incomparabilis. A large show flower of high 
quality. Very smooth deep-yellow broadly overlapping perianth segments 
surmounted by a wonderfully rich yellow crown with dark orange-red edge. 
Holds its color remarkably well. From Bernardino x Fortune. Each $5.00. 
TIOGA. Bicolor Incomparabilis. A large and very robust flower on a tall 
strong stem, long-lasting, and of the highest quality. Broad smooth flat 
overlapping perianth segments of purest white; long flaring crown of lemon- 
yellow. A most beautifully proportioned flower, vigorous, and prolific, and 
the best yet seen in this division. From Robert Sydenham x Pilgrim. Each 
$5.00. 
WACHUSETT. Large-crowned Leedsii. A beautifully finished medium-sized 
flower that derives its fine quality from both parents—Pilgrimage x Beer- 
sheba. The three outer segments are broad and shovel-pointed; the three 
inner, somewhat narrower and more pointed. They open at right angles 
to the crown and point slightly forward as the flower ages. The crown 
is very smooth and shapely, somewhat tapering, and approaching a trum- 
pet in length. The flowers are of thick substance and long-lasting. Each 
$5.00.
