BLUE SKIES 
(1945) 476 Class. (Blue Danube x Dulcimer). 80 
days. A clear light blue with small purple feather. 
It has fair texture, growing always straight, and 
generally with good placement. While healthy, it 
is a very poor propagator, so we have usually in- 
creased by cutting large bulbs. This should be val- 
uable for hybridizing as it is an excellent seed pro- 
ducer and has two blues and Minuet in its parentage. 
About 48” tall; 20” fl. hd., 5 - 5%” blooms, 18 buds, 
5 - 6 open, 6 in color. Florists ask for this one. A.M.

ment, good texture and foliage. Very thrip resistant
