From AIS Bulletin #186 July 1967 Introducing CHIM CHIM CHEREE (1967) No. 150 (GALILEE X ALLEGIANCE) X ELLEN MANOR. 30". A medium blue, the bluest seedling we have bloomed to date. Well-branched stems produce 8 or more buds, and provide a long season of bloom. One of the first blues to bloom in our garden, it is still flowering at the end of the season. Vigorous grower, newly set plants produced a bloom stem and four increases for us, the first year. Sets seed easily, but has no pollen. $25.00. Clarence Blocher.
