‘‘That Spot of Yellow 
Down the Aisle ” 
IKE the rest of things mundane the Inter¬ 
national Flower Show has come and gone, 
leaving comparatively few outstanding im¬ 
pressions. Mingling with the crowds, my 
associates and I heard many comments. 
And among them, none occurred more frequently than 
“Just look at that spot of yellow down the aisle.” 
“1 hat spot of yellow” referred to the Rose Souvenir 
de Claudius Pernet in the Totty exhibit. First 
introduced by us now three years ago, I predict that 
within the next few years it will cause all other near 
yellow roses to become obsolete.
