From Fairmount Gardens catalog, 1955: BEAU GAY (Nesmith 1949) M. The charm of this light salmon orange self is in its ruffled form, very firm substance and delicacy of color. A descendant of Leilani it has lost the heavy venation, but retained the lovely salmon orange color. An absolute self, even to the salmon beard, the flowers are medium in size with domed standards and semiflaring falls. Deliciously fragrant and very floriferous. Lovely for border planting. 32 in. 3 for $4.50. $2.00. Introduced by Fairmount Gardens in 1949. $10.00.
