From AIS Bulletin #169, April 1963. Introducing RUFFLED ROYALTY (M. Olson '63). Seedling No. 61-16B ((Char Maize x Bellerive) X Riviera)). Both the closed standards and the semi-flaring falls are pansy purple (928/3 Wilson), with slight infusion of blue below yellowbrown beard. Falls also have a smooth narrow chocolate brown area along each side of the wide haft, adding to its charm. The beautifully proportioned 7" x 6" blooms are very ruffled, wide and fluted, ideally spaced on sturdy 34" stalks. The smooth-textured and heavy-substanced blooms withstand the hot and windy weather well. Sturdy grower and good increaser. Fertile both ways, an exciting breeder. Midseason. HC '61. Net $25.00. Schaan's Gardens.
