pink style arms. The wide semi-flaring pink falls lighten towards the center

FOREVER BLOWING BUBBLES, 33 inches, EML. $50.00
Not a rebloomer but it begins blooming early
and continues right to the end of the season so heavily budded is this snowy
lovely. Pure white self that develops a greenish area around the white
beards. The Ghio formed blooms are fluttering in deep bubble ruffling.

Another of the wonderful Treasured children.

ruffles. Wonderful wide show branching with some nine buds and tangerine
beards. Quite vigorous and floriferous. No. 00-34C: Treasured X

colorings to satisfy the soul. The arched standards are mother of pearl

satisfying! The fat beards are complimentary being light tangerine tipped
blue. Wide balanced branching with tons of buds. Tight formed blooms are

Bewitchment sib) X 00-76G3, Champagne Bubbles sib.
SECRET RECIPE, 33 inches, EM. $50.00
The secret of this luminata lies in the
partially unknown pedigree as well as its extraordinary combination of
colors. The firmly held standards are mulberry lightening to golden apricot
edges. The flaring falls are black mulberry with a defined contrasty apricot
cream band and apricot shoulders. Tangerine beards and balanced branching
show off this striking new luminata. No. 02-230X2: 99-67G4: (97-88U:
