BEECHLEAF (Kleinsorge, '55) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 This seedling of Pretty Quadroon has attracted a lot of attention for the past several seasons. It is more ruffled than its parent and, while bearing some resemblance because of its brownish hue, it is more coppery and is enlivened by a violet undertone. The beard is orange- brown. Very large blooms on 3-foot stalks. HM .\IS, 1955; AM, 1959. Pictured on page 57. BIG CHIEF (Hall, '64) Each $15.00 Deep, dark and handsome are appropriate words to apply to this big, rich mulberry with orange-brown beards. The wide, flaring falls curve slightly and a bit of lace along the edge adds elegance. Very tall and quite late, lasting until the end of the season. Stems will reach 40 inches or over. BIG GAME (Fay, '54) Each $1.00 A self of the deepest shade of violet. Usually has three huge flowers open at one time on the straight, 38-inch stems. Since it produces from 12 to 15 blooms per stem it has an extra long flowering season. HM AIS, 1954: AM, 1958. BIG TIME (Lapham, '51) Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 This is a big deep red with a rosy cast in the standards. Falls are velvety and appear almost black-red in certain lights. Hafts are brownish and the beard is bronzy orange-yellow. Huge in size and a good grower. 3^2 feet, well branched.
