"Maytime, on a one-year plant, was well-branched and very luscious in color. It seemed darker than the published color plate, with a little more infusion of yellow in both standards and falls, giving the whole flower a warmer tone. The standards were slightly open, but seemed strong, and the falls were wide and rounded, with very little flare. How important it may be in amoena breeding remains to be seen, but it will be popular on color appeal alone."
