Yew Introductions 
BRENDA from Walter Pazderski, 
DEMURE one of our own seedlings 
Without too much fanfare and acclaim, we offer two new 
introductions this year. One from Walter Pazderski, which we 
feel is destined to become very well liked, and one of our 
own, introduced because of its beautiful color and its ability 
to produce wonderful seedlings. 
BRENDA (Pazderski 1955) 90 days 464 
We are pleased to offer a 1955 introduction from Walter Pazderski 
—his only introduction for 1955—BRENDA. 
Brenda is a cross of Burma x Elizabeth the Queen. It seems 
to have inherited the good qualities of each. From Burma it has in- 
herited its clear dark red rose color, without a trace of purple in it, 
being on the red side of the dark rose. Its ruffling, while not as heavy 
as that of Burma, is medium heavy and adds much to its overall 
appearance. A deeper marking of the dark rose appears on the lower 
petals. Would rate somewhat lighter than New York in color. Place- 
ment and attachment from both parents are very good. Florets will 
average 514”, with eight open, six in color and an average of nineteen 
buds. Germinates well and has been a good seed parent. Spikes are 
tall, 54”, husky, straight and exceedingly well proportioned. Won 
American Home Achievement Award at S.E. Michigan show in 1954.

OUR COMMENTS—We have grown Brenda, we have also seen 
it growing in the test garden and at Mr. Pazderski’s home. It looks 
like Mr. Pazderski has produced another one that will be around for 
a long time. We recommend Brenda to you
