VICTORY ECLIPSE A-ID-Pk (Wolfe) One of the better 1948 introductions. The color 
is shrimp pink turning to peach pink as the bloom develops; the base of the petals 
and the reverse are canary yellow. A beautiful velvety sheen overlays the flower 
giving it an artificial appearance. Petals roll back to the stem. A clean grower 
and consistent in the production of quality blooms. Size 9x6.

VIRGINIA B. TAGGERT A-FD-Pk (Pape- 
Rocky River) We believe that this big, 
pink formal is another sure-fire winner 
by the originator of "Mrs. Hester A. 
Pape’. Blooms are normally about 
eleven inches in diameter by five and a 
half inches in depth. Stems are strong 
and erect, twelve to fourteen inches in 
length, holding flower at a forty-five de- 
gree angle. Blooms have good sub- 
stance, holding the form well. Ideal 
type plants with heavy foliage and well 
spaced nodes. Size | 1x4l/.
