The Giant: it has produced 8 inch florets; 
light cream with light crimson shading on light 
yellow lip, very heavy textured, ruffled and 
fluted. It crooks for some growers, and grows 
straight for others. It has been used as a parent 
in hybridizing, with excellent success. Its growers 
say: from Maine: ‘A top notch performer, some 
florets measured 74% inches;” from Washington: 
“Grew 5 inch florets for us and was very pretty. 
Tall and about 6 open;” from Rhode Island: “my 
choice” (of 1946 purchases from us).
