I knew from my own records that FANDANGO had resulted from a cross of CHARLOTTE ARMSTRONG X (MRS. SAM MCGREDY X PRESIDENT HERBERT HOOVER). While FANDANGO itself was described as a "turkey red" and "orange-red" with "yellow base", one can discern from this seeming contradiction the variety was a very bright red.
