References:

From AIS Bulletin #241 April 1981 Introducing JONTUE. One of the reasons I used Launching Pad so heavily in breeding was to attempt to reproduce the color patterns in other colors. This, then, is the best result: beigecream standards are netted in apricot; cream-white falls have wide bands of beige-apricot and coral red beards. Clean, colorful, free flowering and producing stalks with two branches, spur and terminal. A sister seedling to last year's Franklin Cook Cup winner, Sunrise Sunset. $25.00. Pacific Coast Hybridizers.
