and there appears to be much interest in this new light 
yellow variety as a commercial, as well as for home gar- 
dens. It is a giant light yellow with somewhat recurved 
petals of heavy texture, well attached and faced on a 26” 
to 30” flower head of 16 to 18 buds. Becoming popular as 
a commercial.

yellow center and coral feather. A very vigorous grower 
producing spikes up to 64” high with a 24” head carrying 
18 buds. The 514” florets are wide open, closely attached

ficial light, its color contrast is particularly beautiful. First

with all the latter’s best characteristics. It has great prom- 
ise as a commercial, for it opens to the tip from tight bud 
and has fine lasting qualities. Grows up to 60” high with 
24” to 28” head of 16 to 18 buds under northern conditions. 
The 514” florets are flat open, fluted, and of very heavy
