OUR INTRODUCTIONS 
Giving year of introduction and classification 
AGATHA (1947) 506: A beautiful home garden variety 
of great appeal. Clear, light cream, giant florets of very 
heavy texture, fluted and ruffled. A favorite with many. 
ATALA (1948) F454: Deep red, almost self color, showing 
somewhat the influence of the purple of King Lear, its seed 
parent. Hindenburg’s Memory is the pollen parent. The 
60” stalk carries a head up to 28” with 18 to 20 buds; 7 or 8 
5” florets are out and 7 show color. The plain petals are 
well faced and show faint edgings of lighter color. Award- 
ed trophy as Best Recent Introduction, and First Prize One 
Spike Open Class at 1948 Maine Show. Best Seedling 
Rhode Island Show in 1947. 
AQUILA (1849) 501: Color is white with a small feather 
of crimson. Plant is robust, producing a 50” or longer spike 
with a 22” to 26” head of 16 or more buds. The 514” plain 
florets are flat open, firmly and closely attached and well 
faced. It was judged the Best Seedling in the 1948 Maine 
Show, after winning in the One Spike Open Class against 
strong competition. First Prize Western Mass. 1949. 
CANOPUS (1947) 506: A sister of Agatha and a prize 
winner in the ’47 and ’48 shows. It has produced up to 8” 
florets that are waxy in texture, and heavily fluted. Color: 
light cream with faint crimson shading on light yellow lip. 
It crooks in some cases but we have had many reports of 
perfectly straight spikes that were sentational. As a par- 
ent it is producing some oustanding seedlings for us which 
show the extreme vigor and floret quality of this parent. 
CAPELLA (1948) F406: Award of Commendation, 
NEGS 1947. Very light cream suffused with faint pink. A. 
darker cream throat and lavender stamens add to its 
beauty. The petals are wide open, creased and slightly 
ruffled, giving a pointed effect. In Vermont, in 1947, 1948 
and 1949, it grew 62” tall, with 29” head and 18 buds. The 
5” florets opened while 5 showed color. First Prize One 
Spike Open and Recent Introduction Boston 1949. ‘“‘Award 
of Commendation’’, Average score of the four National
