SPRING CHIMES. A light golden russet self and a new color in iris. The standards are very tall and held closely together. The falls are between straight-hanging and semi-flaring and fold a little. The form of the falls is not ideal, but the color puts it over. The substance is fair, and it is branched rather high. H.C. 1941. [Notes from Midwest Breeders, A.I.S. Bulletin 84:50 Jan. 1942.] |
