Nicholls X reverse yellow amoena seedling. $25.00. Randolph.
From Fleur De Lis Garden catalog 1956: BRIGHT HALO (Randolph 1955) M. 3& in, (Mary E. Nicholls x Reverse Yellow amoena sdlg.). A most unusual combination and a very lovely one; this has standards of very pale Bartya yellow and smooth white falls. The center of the flower is lighted by a flush of bright Empire gold that flows smoothly out onto the haft around a full beard of the same gold color. The flowers are beautifully tailored as to form and heavy of substance. 20.00.
