310 GOLDRUFF (Palmer) (our 753 co- 
introduction) LM. Dainty and beauti- 
ful in form. The 38%-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) 752 test gardens produced rating's 
of 90 for color, B exhibition and B 
commercial.
