Grey Dawn (Errey 1939 ?) (100 days) This stock came to us two years ago in

Errey release, but in any event it is to our notion the most beautiful smoky that 
we have seen. The background is near-white with flakings and veinings of lav- 
ender grey. From small bulbs opened 7 of 14 buds. (L 35c) (M 25c) (S 2-35c)
