This is LACY GIRL, the prize-winning variety of 1951 
that has really set a record that is hard to beat! 
Never before has any variety been the BEST 
SELLER in the same season it was introduced! The pic- 
ture in our Spring 1951 catalog was so blurred that cus- 
tomers were guided only by my accurate description. The 
photograph above does not completely do this plant 
justice because it had been used for hybridizing (if you 
look closely you can see the seed pods). Some of the 
most beautiful leaves had been removed for propagation, 
too. In spite of all these handicaps in giving it the proper 
presentation, Lacy Girl is now proudly established in the 
collections of both beginners and serious collectors. 
WORD PICTURE: Long lasting flowers, darkest velvety 
purple, almost perfectly round, of giant size and heavy substance, 
with each petal so rippled and frilled it gives the impression of a 
fuzzy rick-rack fringe. Foliage remains compact, is gently waved, 
yet strong and husky.
