and noble carriage. The standards are a rich 
blending of golden tan and lavender-blue (deep 
Vinaceous Lavender), and the wide flaring falls 
are of Petunia Violet, widely edged with golden 
amber. The beard is pale Lemon Yellow. The 
many flowers are carried on a well-branch 32-

outstanding of my large planting of fine blends.
