DESERT SONG (Fay 1946): Large beautifully formed blooms of 
cream, with very broad standards and rounded flaring falls. A 
self with no haft markings and heavy substance. Early mid-season. 
40 inches, HLM?) Al Sa 1946;"AM. 11949) Each $2.00 
DESERT TWILIGHT (E. Miess 1952): This is our proud 1952 
introduction, as elusive and indefinable as the violet haze at dusk 
in the Mohave Desert. Yet its beauty is as hauntingly sweet as 
those precious moments between sunset and dark. that linger so 
long in your memory. The flower is a pastel shade of delicate 
violet-lobelia, fused with a warm mauvewood brown at the haft. 
Then, like a last ray of sunlight to brighten the scene and accent 
the gentle tone of the pastels, comes the deep golden glow of the 
beard. It has the virtues of large, well-spaced blooms, very thick 
petals, tall (40 inch) well-branched stems, and vigorous plants. 
The falls are horizontal to flaring; the standards are closed and 
domed; both falls and standards are ruffled just enough to give 
superb grace to each bloom. Midseason. H.C., A.1.S. 1951; H.M. 
1952. See illustration on page 4. Each $15.00
