CANOPUS: Seedling of Shirley Temple x 
June Bride (C 44-14). 
Commendation Award from the Massa- 
chusetts Horticultural Society 1946. 
This is a real giant with 7” florets, and one 
spike is a show in itself. We have grown it 
over 60” tall with a 30” flower head of eighteen 
buds. Under good culture it has occasionally 
shown 8” florets. The stalk is strong and heavy. 
The wide open, creased and pointed ‘petals are 
light cream with two shades darker lip suffused 
with faint crimson. It opens with five, and five 
to seven showing color. ‘This is distinctly a home 
garden variety which will require staking, if in an 
exposed location, because of its heavy head and 
height.
