References:

From Carl Salbach catalog, 1927: SHASTA. This new white of different parentage than Purissima, is also entirely distinct in style and effect and well worthy of being named for California’s great white-capped mountain. The 40-inch stalks which are well but high branched bear the magnificent flowers proudly aloft. These are snow white, with a few faint amber reticulations on the haft and are of fine form and excellent substance. It blooms late with us so was not seen by the early visitors who so admired Purissima. $ 10.00.
