95 days 466 
(Corona x Elizabeth the 
Queen) Seedling No. 17-3. Ori- 
ginators Description — Light 
blue lavender a little lighter on 
the lower petal but almost a 
solid color. 5’’ Ruffled florets 
on an 18 bud spike with 6 open 
and six in color. Flowerhead 
25”, field height 54’’. 
Our comments—Vera looks 
good for both show and com- 
mercial work. With a little 
care, will open more than six, 
but you can count on six with- 
out any trouble. Florets are 
nicely ruffled, well placed and 
well attached. Spike is nicely 
tapered, tall and straight. 
Worthy of a _ trial—We 
think you will like it very 
much.
