| Gaylord is an amoena of the Wabash type, having pure white standards and blue purple falls edged with white. Its improvements over Wabash are its much larger flowers, wider and.smoother colored haft, and slightly more flared falls. Its faults (as I saw it grown) were that it took two·years to become established and to bloom, and further that its branching showed little or no improvement over that of Wabash. Galyon, F.
