blush and a very pleas'ng rose throat. The svike is straight, informal, 22 to 25 buds,

6-inch florets come well attached to the 17 to 20 bud spikes. Propagation to date has 
not been all to be desired, but bulblets grow easily and make nice sizes. One of those 
glads to which the term ethereal may well be applied.
