a large mulberry feather on a white ground. It 
shades darker toward the edge. A gorgeously 
exotic and beautiful variety. Blooms are huge, 
often reaching 7’, of good substance and well 
placed, and good attachment for the type. 
Opens 5-6 blooms which are ruffled and 
rolled back clear to the tips of the spikes. Does 
not burn in the sun. 
Height is 45-50’’. And here is its one weak 
point, it has a total of only 12-16 buds. But the 
blooms are so large, way to the tip, that you 
don’t mind not having 20 or more buds. What 
the heck! You can’t have everything. 
Last summer I heard about this variety and 
phoned Mr. White. When I reached my hotel 
room in Vancouver there was a vase of 5 spikes 
of Vanisle there that completely and very 
pleasantly surprised me. I wasn’t prepared to 
see anything so gorgeously beautiful and strik- 
ing. I had never seen any smoky that could 
equal this variety. Afterward I visited Mr. 
White’s garden and bought the stock at a high 
price. Vanisle should be introduced at $5.00 
each but am putting it out at—

From PERCY GREENFIELD 
Miss Joan (44°) (Belle of Quebec x 
J (Greta Garbo x Margaret 
Beaton) 75 days. A distinctive clear, blush 
pink self without any markings. Opens 12, 
beautifully waved and recurved 432’ blooms on 
a 20 bud spike with 6 in color. The 27” flower- 
heads are carried on sturdy, straight spikes to a 
height of 57’. 
Fergus Morrill the introducer says: 
“I have been watching this seedling for the 
past four years in Mr. Greenfield’s garden and 
patiently waiting until there was sufficient 
stock to warrant introduction. It is the nicest 
blush pink I have seen and should prove to be a 
valuable early commercial.”

brown shading somewhat darker 
toward the throat and with a white border 
around all petals. Opens 5 with 3 showing on a 
16 bud spike and 40’’ plant. Does not usually 
grow too large for its class as some small ones 
do. Has been shown only 3 times and has won 
first each time. Fine for arrangements. Only 
good variety in its class. So to win in this class 
grow Spunky. Blooms early midseason. Fine 
propagator. Bound to be extremely popular.

Originator’s description. 
‘This seedling has always been a tall, husky 
grower. Long flower heads and beautiful, soft 
color. Have had 5’ 6” plants with 31’’ flower 
heads when I used some fertilizer. 
“The past few years I have not used any 
fertilizer on this seedling and have been getting 
5’ plants with 26’ to 28’ heads. Will produce 
perfect show spikes without any fussing. Color 
soft, smooth, pure orange apricot, no foreign 
color. Clear apricot throat deepening into soft 
orange at edges. Spike—26’’ to 28’ heads, 
perfect placement and facing. Straight except in 
very hot weather when the odd one may get a 
slight kink. 19 to 21 buds, height 5 feet. Florets 
wide open, slightly recurved 5’” size. Have had 
6’’ blooms. Opens well to tip and will hold 9 
open in good condition. Health good. Easy 
cutter with long stems. Propagation—a good 
producer of bulblets that easily germinate, 
practically 100%, making round, high crowned 
bulbs. Will win in the orange class.” 
I have grown this variety and think it is very 
fine. It is quite similar to Sundust but grows 
somewhat taller and has longer heads and 
larger florets.
