PINK 
BOQUET 
FOR 1953 
To those who wonder why I have no new introduction 
for this year, I'd like to say that it is because I couldn't 
find anything to my liking and severe requirements. 
But I have purchased the stocks of two seedlings from 
a hitherto unknown hybridist, Mrs. Archie Woodcock 
of Mishicot, Wis. One is an outstanding large pink 
which I have selected because of its commercial qual- 
ities and growing habits. The other is a medium, 
highly ruffled, most artistic cream. The former will 
be named Pink Boquet, the latter Fairy Dell and I 
hope to have both at next year’s shows. Both have 
already won top awards at some of our Wisconsin 
shows. These two glads represent the results of ten 
years’ labor at hybridizing by Mrs. Woodcock and her 
husband. I'm certain they will meet with approval 
at next year’s shows. 
This photo is copied from a kodaprint and lacks details 
but will suffice to convey an idea of the size and 
growing power of Pink Boquet. The little gent is Mrs. 
Woodcock’s son. Note the length of flower heads, at 
least 30 inches and 22 or more buds.
