From AIS Bulletin #221 April 1976 Introducing MUTED ELEGANCE (6269B)-((Goodness X (Billowing Sails x Helen Traubel). An exquisite, deeply ruffled self of soft lavenderblue. The color seems to have subtle nuances when viewed at different angles. The fluted standards touch and never open. The broad semi-flaring falls are airy and graceful. Heavy substance, and it is a healthy performer. It truly has charm. 36 in. Midseason.HC 1974. $25.00. Echo Hill Gardens.
