New Oniginations from Alexander Maawell and 
Luke Norton for 1944 
These new introductions which we are offering for the first time are the best of a 
host of wonderful seedlings anyone would be proud to grow in his garden. 
We have many thousands of new named varieties to check against, and in com- 
parison these seedlings of our are in our opinion well worthy of introduction, and do 
not duplicate some older variety. 
These new named introductions will speak for themselves. 
BILLOWY SEA. (Norton 1944). A Great Lakes seedling, a clearer blue than its 
parent; lighter color; tall, strong stalk; large flowers well spaced. A good one $10.00

deep full golden beard. Very smooth haft, free from reticulations. Large flower, well 
branched on stalks 38 inches tall. Clean and bright $10.00 
EASTER BONNET. (Maxwell-Norton 1944). A startling cross, Alastor X Morocco 
Rose. Base color rhodenite pink with half inch margin of burnished gold on both
