WESTERN STAR (Daines) (Sport of Picardy). Almost identical salmon 
pink as Picardy, but blending to a clean soft yellow throat. Entirely free of 
the red penciling so much in evidence in Picardy and her seedlings. For the 
breeder, Western Star is a “must have’ as it imparts to its seedlings the 
identical good qualities as Picardy with the added advantage of clean throats. 
Western Star grows like the best Picardy stock and identical in propagation, 
keeping quality, etc. The late J. R. Hopkins tested, recommended and promised 
to introduce Western Star. This is a new glad with real promise for the Hybrid- 
ist, the Exhibitor and the Commercial Grower. Prices: Lge. $1.00 each or 10 for 
$8.00, Med. .75 each or 10 for $6.00, Small .50 each or 10 for $4.00.
