SALUSKIN—-(Nelson 1948) M 38”. We 
haven't seen this one perform yet but it 
is supposed to be the largest flower in the 
new shades of pink, with strong stalks 
and husky plant growth which is unusual 
for the new pinks. The color is a lovely 
shade of salmon pink with a slight yellow- 
ish cast, with tangerine beard. It is named 
after the great chief of the Yakimas. 
Since our catalogue is compiled in mid- 
winter it is hard to tell just what we will 
wind up with to sell, but we hope to be 
able to spare a few rhizomes.......-.... $15.00

SHARKSKIN—(G. Douglas 1942) M 38”. 
Here is an exquisite dazzling silky white 
with an orange-yellow beard that can take 
anything the weather hands out and keep 
on increasing. It is a large flower with a 
leather-like substance and the purity of 
color is wonderful. We have several beau- 
tiful whites but this ranks among the tops. 
Strain a point and get this one for sure.

SHINING WATERS— (Essig 1933) M 40”. 
This perfectly formed, large, clear ard

behold at blooming time. Often four big 
blooms open at one time on a stalk with 
more buds coming on. The increase is

SIERRA BLUE—(Essig 1932) ML 40”. 
This is supposed to ‘be a true blue self 
and often referred to as a superior Shin-

but in our locality it doesn’t hold a candle 
to the performance of Shining Waters by 
seventy five per cent. We have grown 
both of them for years and our candid 
opinion is that Sierra Blue is much over 
rated.
