Gala (430) (Early midseason) Pink or salmon pink shading to large gold throat. Blooms 
~~ _ are ruffled and rolled back. Good placement and attachment. It grows 5 feet tall

days with 17-18 total buds. Mr. Cave says it opens 10 but in my garden there were 11 open 
all in fresh condition. Fine for florist use or for shows or for the home garden. A stunner. It was 
one of the few 4 star varieties in my trial ground last year.
