LACY LASS 
(Right) This new Dianthus is one 
of the quaint old-fashioned ma- 
roon and white Pinks. Its ex- 
quisite coloring has the effect of 
a painting rather than a living 
flower, and this particular variety 
goes back over one hundred years 
when laced Pinks were very, very 
popular in Europe. It produces 
many flowers on stems about 12 
to 14 in. tall. The buds appear in 
succession. It is particularly 
effective when cut and used in 
the house and gives a lovely old- 
fashioned modern touch to the 
| garden.

SHASTA DAISY, JENIFER READ (Vastly Improved Esther Read) 
(Below) An oe sport of the lovely Esther Read with many of its likeable qualities. 
but with taller plants, more blooms for a longer period, and longer cut-flower stems. Jenifer 
Read is a garden sport of Esther Read which decided to outdo its parent in all departments. 
Although it blooms a little later, it produces many more long-stemmed flowers which are 
especially ee for cutting. Whenestablished, it pr oduces 25 to 30-in. long-stemmed blooms. 
The basal plant is more compact, and the dark green foliage is a lot larger. Although the 
3-in. flower shows some yellow in the center, it is more nearly a pure white cushion type. 
We are sure Jenifer Read will be another good source of white for midsummer gardens and 
for flower arrangers. (Pl. Pat. #1125.)
