HC '72. $25.0. Mission Bell. | | In the past few years Melba has given us three sibs of equal quality in varying shades of pink and orchid. The three—ORCHID WINGS, COUNTRY LILAC, and FLAMINGO FLING—will have some beautiful competition from H67-144-0. This one is a very ruffled orchid that goes to the top of the list in that color range. It will be introduced in 1973 as PRETTY KAREN, in honor of another granddaughter.
