3 FAIRMOUNT GARDENS 
CAROUSEL (G. Douglas 1948) M. This large, tall, flaring 
flower of heavy substance and smooth finish was given its 
name because it reminds one of the brilliant, dazzling colors 
of a carnival. The medley of magenta, violet, and gold is 
so skillfully combined that the color effect is bright lavender- 
rose. The heavy orange beard accentuates the boldness of 
pattern. Strong stalks, and great freedom of bloom. H.M.,

DEEP NIGHT (Corey 1947) M. An impressive flower of in- 
tense Mulberry purple, the nearest color to it is Grape juice 
(Maerz and Paul). The standards are broad, arched, and well

brilliant color, surrounding the dark gold beard, and the 
bronzy flush at the ha‘t is in striking contrast to the rest of 
the flower. The large, fragrant blooms have good substance, 
and are not at all crowded on the well balanced stalk. H. M.,
