From F. A. VERGOTE, Mount Clemens, Mich., whose first origination ROSY WINGS, made 
a great impression, and many fine wins at the shows in 1952. 
BETTY JEAN: A grand new white, with two cream lower lip petals. Grows 66”, with a 
24” flowerhead, opens 8 easily, with 6 in color. Won American Home Achievement 
Medal at Michigan State Show, 1952, many special awards, and considered one of the 
finest 1953 introductions. 
MARDI GRAS: Just what the name implies. Basic color is white, with rose edging, and 
rose flecking toward outside of petals. Rose blotch on two lower petals, and will remind 
you of a masked ball, with lights playing on the dancers. 
Above 2 priced each at: Large $3.00; Medium $2.00; Small $1.00; Blbts. .35; 3 for $1.00

From: JIM KYDD, Verdun, Quebec, another protege of Percy Barrett’s, who has two very 
fine new things, which look awfully good to me. 
PRINCESS AURORA: One of the finest, tallest orange colored glads I have grown this 
season. Grows 60”, with a 24” flowerhead, medium to deep orange with yellow throat, 
ruffled, 22 buds, 9 open, 7 in color, perfect facing and spacing. 
ROSANNAH: A medium rose, with rose lines in throat, a little smoky appearance lends 
to it’s softness. Grows 66” easily, with a 28” flowerhead, 23 buds, 10 open, 7 in color, 
takes heat, and holds up well when cut. Nicely ruffled, a new and unusual color. 
Both these introductions are very worthy competitors, and you will be proud to grow 
them. Priced as follows, each: Any size corm $2.00, with Blbts. .35; 3 for $1.00.
