LAVENDER AND GOLD Was Acclaimed Second Favorite Lavender 
in the 1948 Canadian Symposium 
Little Sweetheart x * *& & (240) (Fischer, 1948) (80 days) (Sweet- 
heart x Myrna) Little Sweetheart is well 
named, for it is just that. The three and one-fourth inch florets, charmingly poised on 
fine wiry stems, are simply exquisite. Color is a delicate pink blending to a large snowy 
throat. Waxy texture and an airy ruffling complete a truly ethereal ensemble. For table 
decorations and wedding bouquets it is unsurpassed. Plant height is about 36 inches. Fine 
grower and propagator. Little Sweetheart is happy with roses. Pictured on page 34. 
“I was glad to see Little Sweetheart. What a gem of a corsage or table bouquet 
she’s going to make with Starlet.” —A. C. Munz, Minnesota

Margaret Beaton **—*—. (°)) (Twomey, 1937) (85 days) (A cross 
eof two varieties purchased in the Dime 
Store.) A distinctive pure snow-white with a small bright scarlet blotch in the throat. 
Spikes are tall. Exeellent for baskets. An old favorite.

Margaret Wood *— (570) (Marshall, 1947) (80 days) A very large 
¢ ¢ mauve or light purple, somewhat lighter on the 
midribs with a slightly deeper touch in the throat. The round, plain-petaled florets are very 
broad and full, and are all too frequently misplaced. We placed a half dozen spikes in a 
tall vase last summer and Margaret Wood was sensational. It burns very easily in our 
midwest heat but is superb in a cool climate. Recommended for September blooming. 
Vigorous plant. Opens very well in water.
