head, 5-5%” blooms, 18 buds with 5 to 6 open. The

BLUE SKIES* 
(Blue Danube x Dulcimer). 476 Class. About 80 
days. A clear light blue with a small purple feather. 
It has fair texture, growing always straight and 
generally with good placement. While healthy, it is 
a very poor propagator and we have usually in- 
creased by cutting large Bulbs. We now have some 
small stock growing which will be available next 
year. This should be valuable for hybridizing as it 
is an excellent seed producer and has two blues and 
Minuet in its parentage. Grows about 48” tall, 20” 
flowerhead, 5-514” blooms, 18 buds, 5-6 open with 6 
in color. Florists ask for this one. A.M. 1943 E.S.G.S.

DARK MIDNIGHT* 
(Sport of Midnight Red) 454 Class. About 70 days. 
A very dark glistening red, slightly darker than Mid- 
night Red, with generally no trace of white mark- 
ings in the throat. Arrangement very good, spikes 
are always straight, healthy with clean green fol- 
iage, and it is an excellent propagator. We believe 
‘this to be the best early black red, growing up 
to 55” tall, 24” flowerhead, 5” blooms, 17 buds with 
6 open. Com. Award 1942.
