Iutroductions for 1951 
MALAGA (Johnson, 1951). Recurved petals and sepals of rich old 
amethyst with near-black eye-zone, the gold throat pencils through 
to the tips of the petals. The dark eye-zone stands out so sharply on 
the background color that the flower itself seems to have the texture 
of cut and uncut Genoese velvet. 36 in. July-August. $5.00 
OXHEART (Johnson, 1951). Fluted and recurved, the petals of this 
flower have the color and glisten of an oxheart cherry. They give the 
appearance of having been polished with wax and their darkness re- 
flects the barberry red of the sepals for an unusual effect. A light line 
of barberry runs up the petals from the rich gold throat. 30 in. July- 
August. $5.00 
SALT ASH (Johnson, 1951). A large flower of lightly veined old cor- 
al, so delicately slim of petal it recurves almost back to its upright 
stem. This feature highlights the perfect six-pointed chartreuse star 
which is its throat. Though amazingly fragile in appearance for a 
bloom of such size the texture does not fray or tear in the wind. 40 in. 
July-August. $7.50 
a 
RED SPIDER (Johnson, 1950). Rich red banana with small pome- 
granate-purple eye-zone, tiny gold throat with a drop of green. Slim 
recurved petals and sepals give an open and spidery red airy accent 
with no hint of brown. 30 in. June-July. $4.00 
TIGER EYE (Johnson, 1949). Deep chrome with chimney-red eye- 
zone, recurved and well-branched. An increasingly popular flower. 
July-August. $3.00 
TOWN HILL (Johnson, 1949). A beautifully blended flower enhanced 
by boldly recurved nasturtium-rose petals, neatly tailored by thin au- 
reolin pencilling carried through to the tips. 40 in. J uly-August. $3.50
