This is a smaller sister of Canopus with all the latter’s 
best characteristics. Has proved its value and is being 
called for in Florida for commercial planting for it opens 
to the tip from tight bud and has fine lasting qualities.

buds. The 514” florets are flat open, fluted, and of very 
heavy texture. Six to seven are open and five or more 
show color. It was first in both One Spike Open and 
Recent Introduction classes at Boston 1948 and also First

this one of the very finest of our introductions. As a seed 
parent it is giving us some very outstanding seedlings.
