tiful in its own right, there being a translucency about 
its substance that makes its gorgeously ruffled petals 
glow as if filled with congealed light. If someone will 
please invent a fresh synonym for “out of this world”, 
I would like to apply it to Aureole!

(From Prestgard strain) This aptly-named color-treat 
is as rich and deep as a yellow can be without in- 
fringing on orange. The slightly burnished tips make 
it blend harmoniously with bronzed foliage in late- 
season floral work. Not a tall variety, but one which 
can be cut clear to the ground. Opens well in water. 
Even with the newer Little Gold available, Autumn 
Gold still fills a niche in the late autumn kaleidescope.

Beauty’s Blush **— 
(440) (Fischer, 1947) (75 days) (Margaret Beaton x 
Choice Seedlings) One must have the soul of an artist 
to feel the full impact of the beauty of Beauty’s Blush. 
That exquisite pink flush overlying the frosty white is 
not for those who insist on great gobs of color. It is 
not for those who prefer the dazzle of the noonday sun 
but for those whose sensitive eye thrills at Aurora’s 
fingertips tinting the morning sky. Wagnerian cre- 
scendoes have their place, but so does the twittering 
of forest birds at dawn. In Beauty’s great cyclorama, 
the subtle, the suggestive are generally acknowledged 
more potent than the obvious. America’s cryptic 
poetic genius, Emily Dickinson, expressed this esthetic 
principle so beautifully in her lines: 
“The thought that ’neath the veil doth lie 
“Is more distinctly seen; 
“As laces just reveal the surge 
“Or mists the Apennine.” 
Beauty’s Blush is a statuesque beauty and an ace 
performer, producing 30-inch flowerheads on spikes 
fully five feet tall with such uniformity that, as one of 
our New Zealand customers quoted elsewhere in this 
catalog remarks, it constitutes a standard of good per- 
formance in glads. The eight or nine smoothly-sculp- 
tured round florets are of a form so perfect as to 
constitute a criterion of plain-petalled beauty. In 
Beauty’s Blush, supreme serenity of form and supreme 
delicacy of coloring combine to create the “pastel with- 
out a peer”. A glad that will be with us for many, 
many years. For the first time Beauty’s Blush is down 
to our standard price level where anyone can enjoy it 
in quantity. See also our wholesale list at end of 
catalog. Pictured on pages 17 and 39.

“I wish to report that we are more impressed than 
ever with your Beauty’s Blush. It has been an excep- 
tionally good cutter for us and the florists seem to like 
it very much. We will be very interested in your 
sport of Beauty’s Blush also.” 
—Neil E. Canine, California. 
“Beauty’s Blush was some beauty! Measured one 
which was 63 inches tall, the flowerhead 34 inches long, 
with 9 fully open florets.” __stone Sisters, Minnesota.
