GREAT LAKES A-ID-W {Marsh-Rocky River) 
An early, white informal with a demon- 
strated ability to win at the best shows. 
Regarded by many as the outstanding 
1948 introduction. It is an easy to

profusely, holding full centers until 
frost. Clean, stiff stems hold the flow- 
ers well above the tall plants. An open 
grower with slender canes. Size 1!0x5.
