Full Description
TB 42″ M B2M
From Cooley’s Gardens catalog for 1937: “A gigantic plicata comparable to the famous pair from California – San Francisco and Los Angeles. However, this new seedling is a product from the gardens of Dr. Ayres of Cincinnati, and is therefore perfectly hardy anywhere.”
From Oakhurst Gardens catalog for 1939: “The largest of the new Plicatas. Pure white throughout with light blue stitching around the segments, deepening at the haft. The straight hanging falls distinguishes this variety from all the others in its color class. 42 in.”
