| From AIS Bulletin #225 Spring 1977 Introducing SERENE DUET -Sdlg. 4869A: Glacier Gold X 10266R (blue and yellow amoena breeding). The billowing, sparkling white standards touch and never open. They have a hint of yellow at the base of the midribs. The broad, ruffled, flaring falls are a pastel yellow with a narrow rim of white at the edges. Matching yellow beard. A strong grower and a dependable performer. Another challenging breeding class to lure one's interest. It has a clean, bright personality hard to resist. Midseason 32". HC 1976. $25.00.
