Modern Ribbons of Color 

DUSTY MILLER (Elliot) 
_ Another good one from Canada. Smoky old-rose with distinctive cream 
lines. This glad is one of the best smokies I have grown. Large size, 
but not a giant, good grower and a perfect commercial spike. Darker 
than the average smoky. It is a good blend of color. I recommend Dusty 
Miller and you will grow it after you have seen it bloom. Also my wife’s 
favorite.

FAY (Jack) 
Very early salmon pink with a cream throat. A very good commercial 
variety. I liked it very much this year. Opens well in water and it keeps 
very well. Large size plain florets, nicely set on the spike.
