WANDA 
YELLOW — 10 Series 
CHAGRIN (Evans) 82. ***+4t 1945 intro- 
duction. Soft, clear, lively primrose yel- 
low with red markings in throat. The 
heavy creases and tapering points of the 
petals add greatly to its beauty. Spikes 
are what we would call on the short side 
but F. E. Hubler, former supervisor of 
judges, Amer. Glad. Soc., who has grown 
a few for appraisal for several years, says 
it is tall enough, 
For us it was Sec. and Champion Seedling, 
W. Va., ’41 and ist 3 spike Cleveland 
(Ohio) ’43. At this same show J.S. Colbert, 
prominent Ohio amateur. also having a 
few for testing won Sec. and Seedling 
Champion. A week before he entered a 
spike at Chagrin Falls (Ohio) winning as 
Reserve Champion of the show. We won 
with it in the open giant yellow class 
Chagrin Falls, ’44, over good spikes of 
Sir Galahad. 
Each L $3.00 M $2.00 S $1.00 Blts .25.

HELEN OF TROY (Salbach) 88 ***+ ft 
Exh. Patented. Larger than Miss America 
and almost as large as King of Hearts. 
A beautiful apricot not far from the 
golden buff of Wasaga with slight shadings 
of pink and a sort of brownish blotch. 
Florets wide open, consistently 614-8 
inches diameter, 6-8 open, 19 buds, 
27 inch flowerhead, close to 60 inches tall. 
Always straight. Award of Merit, Ohio, 
’42. Second day Grand Champion at 
Chagrin Falls, Ohio, 44. 
With plenty of years of experience with 
thousands of blooms, we rate it the world’s 
best cut flower, its color tipping the scales 
for it over the five varieties ahead of it in 
the C. G. S. Symposium which, by the 
way, is not rating merely of cut flower 
value. See winner tabulation.

MRS. BLANDEN (Both) 83 * — ttt Com. 
Color rather hard to describe. Perhaps 
an orange pink. Perhaps pinkish buff. 
Cream throat. Anyway, it is extraordin- 
arily beautiful and well ruffled and appears 
to have good commercial qualities. Flor- 
ets are about 5 inches dia. with about 8 
or more open. Stem is somewhat on the 
short side.

ACCA LAURENTIA (Holland) 70 *—tt 
Dec. Clean, soft orange, inconspicuously 
marked deeper in throat. Color does not 
fleck or burn. Slightly hooded. For 3 years

of view of cut flower use without finding ° 
any. Stocks limited and not more than half
