NADA (Giridlian 1936) 
(Pronounced Ney-da) 
The result of crossing two of the crested type, 
Japonica and Wattii, combining the good qualities 
of both. The flower stalk rises two feet from the 
center of the fan of leaves, and is branched and 
rebranched, carrying aS many as 40 terminal buds, 
each bud in turn producing five flowers in succes- 
sion. 
The flowers are white with chrome-yellow crests 
with a touch of light lavender around the crests. 
The style branches are light lavender, lacerated 
in a beautiful manner. The standards and falls are 
waved and frilled. The flowers are about 214 
inches across, and lend themselves ideally for 
flower arrangements. They last well when cut, as 
nearly all the buds develop. 
The plant is very prolific, propagating itself by means of short stolens and forming a 
good sized clump in one season. 36 in, H.M., A.I.S, 1939. Received “Highly Commended 
and Special Prize” award at International Flower Show, New York City, 1940. 75c.
