DIANTHUS HEDDENSIS “Westwood Beauty” 
(Honorable Mention) 
As the name implies this Dianthus is the result of a cross between Dian- 
thus Chinensis and Dianthus Heddewigi, combining the large open flowers of 
Heddewigi and the long stems of Chinensis. 
Flowers single, 1'42-24% inches, laciniated. The color is somewhat variable 
in red shades of crimson and scarlet, some having attractive white edgings. 
Average height 16 inches. Westwood Beauty stands the heat well and should 
become a good florist item, as well as a garden favorite.

the ruffles, with just a trace of yellow. A wonderful pastel color combination 
unknown in all Celosios. Comes 98% true. Stems very straight, round and non- 
branching, height about 30-40 inches.

CELOSIA “Gilbert's Maple Gold” 
This new variety is the loveliest of all cristata—coxcomb—creations and 
is the result of 18 years of line breeding. The maple-pink heads vary in color 
from light to dark pink, tipped with pure gold. These clusters may be cut at 
any stage and size and used in any arrangement from corsages to funeral 
sprays as the heads will last 3 or 4 days out of water. The individual plants, 
which are of the strong branching type, grow 2-3 feet high.

MARIGOLD “Mammoth Mum” 
A large incurved chrysanthemum-flowered Marigold and a close rival 
to the big Japanese Chrysanthemum. Bushy, strong, erect plants reach 3 ft. by 
August, when long-stemmed flowers appear to amaze one with huge blooms, 
4-5 in. across and 2 in. deep; color is rich lemon yellow. Flowering from August 
until freezing weather, it makes a colorful show in the garden and gives long- 
lasting cut flowers. (Honorable Mention A.A.S. 1944).

MARIGOLD “Mayling” (Odorless foliage) 
Named Mayling in honor of Madame Chiang Kai-Shek. Flowers grow 3 
in. and more across, the petals being incurved practically their entire length, 
and daintily fringed on the other edges. This gives a soft, airy, fluffy appear- 
ance to the rich, buttery, golden primrose flowers. Plants grow about 2 ft. tall, 
are very profuse blooming, beginning early in the summer and continuing 
until frost. Mayling is the newest frilled carnation-flowered tall double African 
Marigold with odorless foliage. Showy in the garden and highly prized for 
cutting.
