From Marx Gardens catalog, 1964: DAPPLED BAY (Marx 1960) Each $7.50. This selection from our Butterfly Series even though of giant size radiates the utmost charm. The lightly ruffled double flowers of clear white stippled deep sky blue and the pure white styles make creation of exquisite loveliness. When well grown this giant will produce flowers up to 11 inches across on 4-1/2 to 5-foot stems. Early to midseason.
