NORTHWEST-GROWN 
MORNING SUN. Here is a bi-color that is different! 
A new variety which was introduced in 1949, and it 
is really outstanding. This is a huge flower with a 
giant trumpet of the loud-speaker type. The well 
overlapping perianth is soft creamy-white; the me- 
dium length trumpet (about 1% to 1% inches long) 
is of a lemon yellow color slightly darker at the 
wide open scalloped edge. The loud-speaker trumpet 
opens to a good 2% inches or more at the mouth, 
and, with its deep golden yellow throat and edge of 
lovely sunny yellow, it truly looks like the morning 
sun. Bouquets of these blooms at spring flower 
shows were exclaimed over and admired by all. If 
you like giant cups you'll love this one. It’s reason- 
able, too, for a new introduction. Kach $2.00. Stock 
limited.

fine bi-color. Each 20c; doz. $2.00

yellow with deep yellow cup margined with orange-red.

DAISY SCHAFFER. M. One of the most outstanding of 
the new giant Leedsii type. The flower, 4% inches 
across, cup nearly two inches, resembles a giant trum- 
pet, but much more graceful in form; perianth pure 
white, with cup opening primrose and turning to light 
canary yellow. The long lemon yellow stigma and styles 
add to the color harmony of this remarkable flower; a 
leader for years to come. Awarded a gold medal at the 
“Flora” International Exhibition, Haarlem, Holland, 
1935; many other awards. Each 30c; 8 for 80c; doz. 
$3.00. 
“T have never seen anything better than Aranjuez. We had both 
strong winds and sun while it was blooming, and it held its color till it 
was gone. It seems to be the longest lasting variety of all .
