Bagdad Beauty Descendants

BAGDAD BEAUTY AR (Austin, R. 1958). Parentage lost, but given as ((I. susiana x I. hermona) X I. atropurpurea) in the 1962 ASI YB and (I. atropurpurea X I. hermona) in the 1971 YB. An extremely unfortunate loss, because its genes have found their way into so many of today's fully fertile halfbreds.
