such bright color as deep carmine, rosy cormine, rose pink, light salmon and bright salmon, violet blue,

colors and uniformity of growth is required. In this mixure no silver blue, orchid beauty, etc. are used 
as it breaks the uniformity of height. 
Standard Varieties 
This group covers such strains which are not quite as dwarf as the “Extra Dwarf.” They are 
intermediate types. 
BLUE BROCADE, True violet-blue variety. True to type and color. Stocky growth, good 
bloomer and of good-sized flowers. New and rich color in giant fringed type, high percentage of well 
fringed fully double flowers. (All-America Silver Medal, 1941.) (See illustration above) 
FANTASY, Rich velvety violet-blue and white; a marvelous combination of two distinct colors. 
Our trial was quite satisfactory as to the color, size of flower as well as the fringiness. 
MAYFLOWER, Uniform: inj the soft delicate rose color with deeper veining which gradually 
fades towards the outer edge. They are very large, well fringed and with exquisite substance. 
ORCHID BEAUTY IMPROVED, Extra large full double flower measured full 4 inches 
acrose. Color is orchid or lilac, heavily veined deeper lilac or violet. 
SILVER BLUE, The color corresponds to Ridgway’s ‘“ Amethyst Violet” to “true purple” but 
with velvet-like glistening overlaid with shiny blue. Individual flower which is well fringed, measures 
over 31/, inches across. 
PURE WHITE, Our strain is almost 100% pure white with large, fully doubled, well fringed 
flowers. We think our Pure White is the purest Double White produced.
