References:

From Marx Gardens catalog, 1955: MIDSUMMER REVERIE (Marx 1954) Each $5.00 One of the loveliest sanded or stippled types on the order of Howokan or Collingwood but much larger and fully double. The white ground is so heavily dotted and lined rosy purple that the color effect is light rose red. Immense blooms average 10" in diameter. A delightful flower for cutting. Midseason.
