From 1965 Schreiner's catalog: MAGIC CIRCLE (Schreiner 1965). EM 34. It has been a long time since we have seen a plicata that so closely recaptures the charm of that wonderful plicata of long ago--Los Angeles. But Magic Circle duplicates in a flower of modern size and excellent height and branching the same snowy ground, the same cerulean blue stitching and frosting at the exteme edges that made Los Angeles such a favorite a generation ago. Here is a real beauty! Sdlg. No. T 1404-A. $20.00
