S. white with midrib of soft green, delicately veined soft blue at the base; F. creamy-white delicately veined blue at base; style arms very conspicuous, bright clear blue. Two feet. This is one of the indispensables. 25¢ |
| From H. P. Simpson catalog, 1922: FAIRY (Kennicott, 1905). White, delicately bordered and suffused pale blue. A very pretty bloom. Stems 36 inches tall and slightly bending, which is its only fault; not new and not as well known as it deserves to be. 25¢. |
