1953 INTRODUCTION 
RAYNOLA—432 (Howard ’53) 80 DAYS 
Parents — BOBBY DAZZLER x JUNE BRIDE 
Have watched this glad since the summer of 1946 and among all the varieties 
I have grown have never seen one anywhere near this color. It is a rose salmon 
with darker brush marks in the throat but the rose has such depth and penetra- 
tion that the backs of the petals are as rich and bright as the face. It is a 
glowing color, hard to describe. Should be seen to be appreciated. The petals 
are round, wide open, lightly ruffled and recurved, making a very beautiful ef- 
fect. The following is from our field notes. It opens 6 to 7, 5%4” florets on heavy 
straight stem. Has 17 to 19 buds on 25” flowerhead. Grows 54” in field. Place- 
ment perfect. Texture heavy—fiorets well attached. Does not fade. Very healthy 
and consistant grower. Bulblet production good. Germination excellent.
