8 GLADRIDGE GARDENS, PERRY, OHIO 
BEAUTY’S BLUSH (440) Fischer ’47 (85) 
As the name suggests it is a blush white with a sparkling pink under- 
tone. A seedling of Margaret Beaton it seems to have inherited the 
vigorous tall growth of that variety. It will open 7 flat well attached 
florets. A planting of this that bloomed in the cool fall weather this 
year gave us the beautiful sparkling color that gave this variety its 
name.
