From Melrose Gardens catalog 1976: HOCUS POCUS (Hager '76) 10" Standard Dwarf Sdg. SD2663B&B: Kitten Kapers X Gingerbread Man. Here's a switch—the wicked witch waves her magic wand and the gingerbread man is turned into this appealing little fellow with lavender standards blended tan along the midribs and flaring, fluted and wide-wide falls painted with brown enamel. Bushy lavender-violet beards are quite in keeping—what a Kaper! EC'74. NET 10.00.
