; OUR 1952 INTRODUCTIONS 
440 PENNANT (Palmer 752) (our ’52 
co-introduction) M. Clear, unmarked 
light pink. Very faint yellow tone 
in throat. No color flecks. No deeper 
feathering whatever until a _ very 
slight amount on blooms in mid- 
October. Color is beautiful, soft pastel 
(without glisten), suede finish even 
more attractive under artificial light. 
Light green foliage 30 inches high, 
spikes 54 inches. Had 15 buds in color 
before first opened. Held 10 open with 
7 more in color on 20 bud spikes in 
very uniformly perfect, double row 
formal placement. Propagation excel- 
lent. 
The clean, pastel color, the uniformly 
strong, straight, well placed spikes 
give great exhibition and commercial 
promise to this sister seedling of 
Evangeline.

diolus Growers test garden, scoring
