From AIS Bulletin #157, April 1960. Introducing BRIGHT SAILS: (Thotmes III X Dark Chocolate) 38" Midseason. Goodman sdlg. #22627. A very brilliant Copper self; large flowers with hafts over 3" in width. Waved standards fully closed; falls with slight haft marks, not excessively ruffled or pinched. It bloomed for the first time in a heavy rainfall and both S. & F. took that weather without folding up; several judges who saw it then pronounced it as outstanding in its class. Its stalk is very heavy with average of 3 branches. A most worthy descendant of its eminent parents. $25.00. Richard Goodman.
