AVE MARIA. (Tompkins 1944) M. L. 40”. Strong 
and splendidly branched stems support very large 
flowers of the purest white we have seen. The stand- 
ards and falls are well proportioned and are broad and 
oval. Standards are domed and touch at the tips and 
the falls are held at an angle giving the flower a 
pleasing shape. The visible part of the beard is white 
and the flower is free from venations having only a 
bit of yellow deep in the throat which is noticed only 
upon the closest inspection. Substance and texture 
are fine.

BEAUTIFUL GALATEA (Snyder 1944) M. L. 36 in. 
Mr. Snyder describes this as a self of “Bridal Rose” 
coloring. It seems to us that it is really a blend of 
many colors, that combined give the rose effect. We 
have watched this for three years and it has been very 
Satisfactory. “ins BVELDV AWAY. «os at) atin eennena el $7.50
