From AIS Bulletin #205 April 1972 Introducing FULL TIDE (O.L. Brown '72) TB. Mid. 38-40 in. Large, beautifully ruffled and fluted Wisteria blue with soft blue beards. Excellent branching and bud count. HC '70 under #9-14E16. NET $25.00. Brown's Sunnyhill Gardens.
FULL TIDE (Opal Brown) was Dykes Medal quality and didn't make it. This tall, show-stalked light blue has a hairline edge of silver mixed in the heavy ruffling. Very vigorous.
