not be seen by A. I. S. judges, hence no rating on it. The highly 
domed standards are pinkish terra cotta (Etruscan red) strongly 
suffused with copper gold (Xanthine orange) along the strong 

midrib. The flaring falls are pinkish terra cotta with a gleaming 
overlay of Hortense violet in the center, and edged with a narrow 
border of copper gold. The styles are Hortense violet with very 
feathered crests of copper gold, these show plainly and add greatly 
to the beauty of the flowers. The blooms have very heavy sub-
