DEBUTANTE (1947) 410: Certificate Winner in 1946 
Michigan Trial Garden, and 1948 and 1949 Rhode Island 
Trial Garden. Color: light yellow shading to deep orange 
outer edge of petals. A vigorous grower, producing uni- 
form straight spikes that appear together like a row of 
soldiers. When cut in tight bud can be handled like 
cordwood, and opens readily to extreme tip. It is a very

is being used in Florida commercial planting, has bloomed 
in 60 days when planted early in the fall and is receiving 
a flattering reception by northern florists. It has a fine

in blooming, requiring 120 days under northern conditions 
this past summer. Its list of winnings is too long to enu-

Show winning blue ribbons in the Three Spike Open and 
Recent Introduction Classes.

Rewi Fallu, one of its parents. It is a very vigorous grower 
with long head of 22” or more, carrying 18 to 22 buds on a 
60” strong, wiry spike under northern conditions. The 5” 
florets are closely attached, perfectly faced and of fine
