H. 'Antique Smile'
2007 Introductions . . .
H. 'Antique Smile' (Pickles, 07) ..................................................... d/f ... $75.00
26" ML D 5". Tet. 25 buds.
A polychrome of yellow with overlays of pinks in varying values. The pink darkens to a pale
strawberry forming the etched eye which encloses a large yellow throat leading to a
green heart.. The strawberry is repeated again on the very ruffled edges that are finished
with chrome yellow. The form is round with the wide sepals filling in the petal gaps. H.
'Antique Smile' is one of those flowers that just glows in the garden.
Seedling No. 9928. (Angel's Smile X Antique Fringe).
H. 'Choo-Choo Perfection'
H. 'Country Jazz' (Pickles, 07) .................................................... d/f ... $100.00
28" M SEv 5". Tet. 26 buds.
Peach, pink and coral combine in H. 'Country Jazz's' beautifully formed flower. The pale
green throat turns to yellow as it blends with the coral and terminates in a pencil eyezone
of cherry red. The full, overlapping petals are delicately edged in cherry and outlined with
yellow. The form is slightly recurved. Fertile both ways and producing some nice
seedlings in interesting colors. A vigorous grower and moderately fast increaser.
Seedling No. 0139. (Truly Angelic X Kirchhjoff Seedling).

Wow! If you like bagels, this is a perfectly formed, round, and full formed cultivar, thus the
name, H. 'Dumb Blonde'. A voluptuous yellow self that is  lightly sculpted, plus heavy
ruffles that extend all the way down into the throat heart of lime green. A good parent for
sculpted seedlings with that exquisite round form. A vigorous grower that increases
rapidly.

H. 'Groovy Chick' (Pickles, 07) ................................................... d/f ... $100.00
28" EM SEv LFr 5". Tet. 26 buds.
Another in our line of sculpted cultivars, H. 'Groovy Chick' is a perfect gold self that has
tiny ruffles on the larger ruffled edges of the petals. The extravagant ruffles extend deep
into the green throat. Fertile and producing kids with even deeper sculpting. Flowers are
displayed well above the dark green foliage. A full sib to last year's H. 'Groovy Guy'. A full,
overlapped, and round form. A vigorous grower that increases moderately fast.

H. 'Holy Moly' (Pickles, 07) ........................................................ d/f ... $100.00
35" E SEv Re 5 3/4". Tet. 25 buds.
A light cadmium yellow self that is lightly sculpted and has a full, round, and flat form.
The petal edges are heavily ruffled. The heart is a lime green. This is not the most heavily
sculped flower we have introduced, but the importance of H. 'Holy Moly' is in its height.
Many sculpted varieties are short of scape, so the height of this flower is important in
hybridizing for sculpted flowers. Opens flat on cool mornings and is fertile both ways.
Seedling No. 0320C. (Good Morning America X Carved Pumpkin Pie).
H. 'Horatio Alger' (Pickles, 07) .................................................. d/f ... $100.00
28" M SEv Re 5 3/8". Tet. 29 buds.
The large edge of port, with a matching eyezone, dominates this smoky rosy
polychrome. A pale corn yellow edge finishes the heavy port ruffles and is repeated in
the throat. H. 'Horatio Alger's' ivory midribs fade to oyster on the lovely full petals. A
grand kid of H. Lavender Blue Baby, whose influence can be seen in the color of the
etched eye and double petal edge. Fertile both ways and a vigorous grower.
Seedling No. 0347 (Palace Garden Beauty X Forbidden Dreams).
