310 GOLDRUFF (Palmer) (our 753 co- 
introduction) LM. Dainty and beauti- 
ful in form. The 3%-4 inch florets 
appear even smaller because the 
measurements include the flaring 
needle-pointed petal tips of the Butter- 
fly winged type blooms. The florets 
are also well ruffled, creased and of 
heavy substance. 
In color, Goldruff is a warm, clean, 
medium-light salmony yellow, blend- 
ing into deep yellow on lip petals. The 
buds are equally attractive, both in 
form and color. 
A two-year trial by the Canadian 
G.G.C. won their Gold Medal Award 
in ’50. Trials in Ohio and Vermont by 
the O.S.G.S. (as successor to Vallee- 
vue) ’52 test gardens produced ratings 
of 90 for color, B exhibition and B 
commercial. 
Attachment, informal placement, bud 
separation and access to low cutting 
all very good. Opened 9 florets, 5 more 
in color, 7 green for 21 total bud count 
on plants about 46-50 inches. It is a 
good propagator. 
An arrangement of Goldruff is sim- 
plicity itself as the florets have such 
beauty of form and color tending to 
individual decoration, whether multi- 
plied on one, or several or many spikes.

smoky violet edge. The inner 38 petals

clean, creamy white throat. This color 
combination is both unusual and _ in- 
teresting. The spikes come early, are 
tall. The florets flare wide open and 
the O.S.G.S. (Ohio-Vermont) ’52 test 
gardens recorded 65-inch florets,
