This winter we have sent out also a small card intreducing our first "pink", 
It is a light pastel tone with a satin texture. The petals are almost triangular 
in shape and are much wider at the basee Since the sepals are inclined to recurve 
the flower has a triangular effect suggestive of a trillium flower. The plant is 
smali but rugged and we have offered our 
*PINK ANGEL for your consideration, Pink Angel is to be placed in the Test Gar~ 
dens at Shenandoah, Iowa, this spring. It has bloomed in the Norton Gardens at 
Hyattsviile, Md. and may be seen there this summer. It is being tested also in New 
Haven, Conn., Saranac Lake, N.Y., in Virginia, and in Beloit, Kans. If it stands 
these tests, we shall be content. In our gardens we have found it to be more af= 
fected by dew thar b:r sun, but we seldom have the extreme heat of lecations further 
south. On well established plants the flowers measure four and a half inchese Long 
season of bloom, from early summer. 
*SERAPH; another "pink". This flower is of the palest flesh pink = the color 
listed as "rose nude” in "Maerz and Paul”. There is an undertone of Martius yellow. 
The mid=ribd and reverse of the segments are also Martius yellow. The long strap 
shaped segments are frilled and twisted and are pinched at the tips. The flower is 
near five inches end though appearing delicate, is very sturdy. The four foot scape 
is top-branched and bears an artistic grouping of buds and flowers. The season is 
early summer. 
GEORGE McCLURE ~ a mid-summer bloomer, we have paired in our border, with Chief 
Red dacket. The two are very similar in color and form. This flower is five inches 
and the scape three feet. The plant is rugged and well formed and has a long season 
of bloom. It also is an extended bloomer, lasting from early morning until after 
mid-night. Planted with Chief Red Jacket, the same bright color is maintained until 
late summer. 
MARY LOUISE - a low growing four inch flower isa "self" of "faded rose”. Fine 
veining of "wine" which fades with the sun leaves the flower a paler shade of rose 
but none the less lovely. The form of the flower is a definite bell shape with the 
outer part of the segments bent sharply back. This is an early summer bloomer and 
when planted with the following clone provides another all-the-summer color spote 
ALMIE + like Mary Louise, is bell shaped and also of "faded rose", but is marked 
on the petals by a conspicuous eye, formed by parallel veining of "wine". The flower 
is five inches and is on a three foot scapee The blooming season overlaps that of 
Mary Louise and continues into late summer, 
*ROSALURE - a perfect "self" of clear rose pink (near American Beauty). A five 
and a half inch star with long strap shaped segments. An immaculately lovely 1{4ly- 
like flower. The scape is sturdy but graceful and the foliage is in good proportion 
to the four foot scapes An early summer bloomer, bearing the sun very well, 
MELODY + in color very near Rosalure, but marked with a light median line, on 
the petals. The flower is five inches and the scape three anda half feet. The 
foliage is clean and bright. Melody follows Rosalure in season and lasts into late 
summer, We group the two clones very satisfactory |y. 
“NANCY FAYE = a long lasting flower of clear red, the petals nicely marked with 
eyes of a deeper shade of red, divided by the light colored mid-rib, An attractive 
flower--five inches on a three and a half foot scape, lasting through the latter half 
of the summer,
