Showy white flowers, opening out flat, waxy in 
texture, about two inches in diameter, with six 
petals not quite separated. A faint stripe of soft 
apple green runs from tip to base on the outside 
of each petal. The stems are wiry, 12 to 18 inches 
tall, bearing two to seven flowers each. Foliage 
inconspicuous. Very free blooming from July to 
September. Flowers cut well and have a pleasant 
lily-like fragrance. Most attractive both in ar¬ 
rangements and in the garden. The striking hexa¬ 
gonal shape of bud and flower and the regular 
striping lend a faintly modernistic note that is both 
attractive and unusual. Should be dug in winter 
except in milder climates same as gladiolus. Deliv¬ 
ery early winter.
