Here is an extra fine rose lavender with great commer- 
cial promise. The spikes are tall, 56° and wiry. It 
carries 7-8 open on 20 bud spike, 6 in color. Color value 
almost identical to Heirloom but its vigorous growing 
habits easily give desired height for commercial cut- 
ting. Beautifully ruffled florets of rose lavender with 
clean cream throat. 
FORTUNE 1954 (422) 
A rich, attractive, golden orange with no markings. 
An Orange Gold seedling with purer color and long 
flower heads. Opens 6 of 19 buds, 6 in color. This has 
been a popular seedling at our Wisconsin shows the 
past few seasons. Best 3-spike seeding at Jefferson 
Seedling 1953 show. 
CELESTIAL ROSE (Class 462) 
If you want beautiful coloring and a spike with per- 
fect formal placement, here it is. Color, light rose shad- 
ing to clean white throat. 8 5” florets open, 6 in color, 
21 buds. Florets are round and perfectly placed on 
sturdy spike. I had gorgeous spikes of this seedling in 
my garden this year right during extreme heat and 
drought. Will prove to be an excellent commercial as 
it has all requirements, health, vigor, substance, color 
and tall, perfectly straight spikes.
