SAUCY SUE (Gibson, '68) M. 34" $7.50 Silky standards of golden tan, flushed with a reddish undertone; falls of garnet red rimmed with brown. This is a luxurious piece of color in a very large flower, the falls edged with heavy folds of plush-like ruffles and pleats. HM, '70. See page 29. SCARLET RIBBON (Tompkins, '66) ML. 36" $2.50 One of the red-toned varieties with a close to scarlet garden effect. A vivid shade of smooth red with a light undertone of orange. Clean hafts and profuse flowering habit. Long season of bloom. HM, '67. SEASHELL MUSIC (Ernst, '65) ML. 36" $2.00 A blend of rose and copper etched on creamy white, remindful of some of the colorful seashells from tropic shores. Huge in size, ideal in form, the flowers of thick enamel-like substance provide good opportunity for breeding. See page 34. SEA VENTURE (B. Jones, '72) M. 34" $12.50 One of the most unusual and beautiful color patterns. The standards are pale blue, but with a flush of deep marine or ink blue at the base. They are ruffled and overlap at the top. The wide flaring and ruffled falls are pale blue. The stalks are well branched, with many buds and vigorous plant growth. HC, '71; HM, '73. SHIPSHAPE (Babson, '69) M. 38" $8.00 Dense medium blue with light yellow beard. Petals are very wide and full and result in a huge flower. Standards are deeply fluted and the falls overlap. Stalks are strong and well branched. HM, '70. Franklin Cook Award, '73. Dykes Medal, '74. Pictured on page 6. SILENCE (Tompkins, '66) ML. 36" $4.00 A brilliantly rich, deep yellow with a self-colored beard and a slightly lighter canary yellow glow over the central part of the falls. Tomp- kins considers this his finest yellow to date. HM, '68. See page 17. SIVA-SIVA (Gibson, '62) M. 36" $1.00 A flamboyant combination of rich golden standards flushed with cinnamon and porcelain white falls heavily bordered and etched brilliant red-mahogany-brown. HM.

Beard is almost white. Limited stock. HM, '65; AM, '67. Winner of the Dykes Medal in 1970. SMART BARBARA (Gibson, '69) M. 36" $7.50 Spreading falls of reddish tan on a cream ground with solidly colored standards of bright tan-red.
