From AIS Bulletin #289 April 1993 Introducing WHITE PRELUDE-Tetraploid, 36", VE-VL & RE. The first white to bloom at Seaways and also one of the last. The 5-1/2" flowers have an open form contrasting nicely with the round compact Siberians so common today. Wide, ruffled and crimped falls. Very long bloom season. $35.00. Seaways, Eartheart.
