THE HYBRIDIZER’S CORNER —Continued 
us seedlings of promise as well. Some of the good 
Indiana reds are Lights On, Redward, Red Gleam. 
In addition to intense line breeding work, the use 
of blend Iris has given several outstanding good reds, 
as, for instance, Technicolor which has been a good 
parent particularly noticeable in some of the newest 
reds we have on trial. Personally we have always 
liked the finish and fine form of Garden Glory and 
have succeeded in raising some very nice seedlings 
out of a cross of (Garden Glory x Cordovan). We 
have been using these two seedlings in particular, 
as parental stock. What will 1954’s blooming bring? 
Chet Tompkins has some new reds which we expect 
to see this year and we look forward to them with 
great anticipation. 
FLAMINGO PINKS 
Much has been written about the flamingo pinks 
and I believe that probably more flamingo-pink seed- 
lings have been raised than any other color in the 
last few years. The seed sets easily, the germination 
is extra good, yet somehow far too many seedlings 
are too alike. The breeder’s problem has been how 
to develop distinct variation in this class. The color 
pattern is a recessive one which generally requires 
quite intense inbreeding to bring it out in quantity. 
The use of some of the finer pinks like Pink Sensa- 
tion (Tally Ho x Courtier), Pink Formal (Golden 
Eagle x $Q72), Cherie (Golden Eagle x 39-62) x Fan- 
tasy), Vanity Fair (Cherie x Fantasy) seems to be the 
logical way to proceed. Our Mallow Marvel, whose 
family tree is quite long entails the combination of
