CRITERION. (G. Douglas, 1951). M. L. 
Mr. Douglas has been very successful in 
producing fine amoenas and this one lives 
up to the high standard he has set in se- 
lecting seedlings for introduction. The 
well domed standards are white, faintly 
veined with very pale blue; the semi-flar- 
ing falls are clear blue-violet with a dis- 
tinct edging of white in sharp contrast to 
the center of the falls. A prolific bloomer, 
it is the best amoena that Mr. Douglas has 
developed from the standpoint of breed- 
ing, for it sets seeds both ways. The firm 
substanced flowers are carried on strong, 
especially well branched stalks. H. M., 
A. I. S., 1952. 38 inches. $7.50

ple, the nearest color to it is Grape Juice 
(Maerz and Paul). The standards are 
broad, arched and well held. The semi- 
flaring falls have a velvety over-lay of 
more brilliant color, surrounding the dark 
gold beard, and the bronzy flush at the. 
haft is in striking contrast to the rest of 
the flower. The large, fragrant blooms 
have good substance. H. M., A. I. S., 
1948. $2.25 
DESERT SONG. (Fay, 1946). M. 39-in.

DESERT TWILIGHT. (E. Miess 1952) 
The flower is a pastel shade of delicate 
violet-lobelia, fused with a warm mauve- 
wood brown at the haft. Then, like a last 
ray of sunlight to brighten the scene and 
accent the gentle tone of the pastels, comes 
the deep golden glow of the beard. It
