WHITE TOWER 
501 (Lins 1951) 
EARLY BLOOMING tall stately WHITE TOWER 
ranks among the best blotched whites. Few glads come 
up to it in height, vigor and reliable performance. The 
sturdy plants of WHITE TOWER withstand strong wind. 
The large weli attached florets are pure white with 
a deep pink blotch. 
Its non-crooking tall plants, perfect floret attach- 
ment, heavy texture and easy propagation suggest com- 
mercial and exhibition possibilities.
