NADA (Giridlian, 1936). (Pronounced 
Ney-da). The result of crossing two of the 
crested type, Japonica and Wattii, com- 
bining 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 termi- 
nal buds, each bud in turn producing five 
flowers in succession. 
The flowers are white with chrome-yel- 
low 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 de- 
velop. 75¢,
