BLUE RHYTHM (Whiting) (Dykes Medal 1950) 
This blue won immediate favor at its introduction and it is 
more and more popular as it becomes more generally known. It 
is a soft cornflower blue of semi-flaring shape and of firm sub- 
stance. The falls have wide hafts and the broad standards are 
nicely arched. 3 ft. $1.75 
BLUE RIVER (Milliken) 
A uniform deep blue, one of the bluest. It blooms early with 
us here in California, but in the colder sections of the country 
it flowers along with the intermediates. The flowers are of me- 
dium size, standards and falls both are nicely ruffled, and the 
white beard adds much to the crisp fresh appearance of the 
flower. The fragrance is delightful. 21% ft. 75c; 3 for $2.00
