are basically colored light yellow; the falls are dark rose with a heavy blaze of gold in

heavy substance. Excellent branching and perfect placement of blooms. The domed 
standards are a light lilac pink and the broad semi-flaring falls are a deep lilac with 
an overcast of light purple. A very lovely thing. $12.00

Remembrance and has the crinkled edges of Matula on standards and falls, altogether 
lovely. Color is close to Bridal Rose Pink, haft with gold reticulations and canary 
colored beard, standards and falls both bridal rose pink. Height 36 inches, midseason.
