| From Melrose Gardens catalog, 1958: NONA (Roy Davidson) 38" (Char Maize X Cloveley). This is probably the cleanest green yellow we have seen. The form is taken from the parent Char Maize and is as full, but more tailored and with a waxier substance. The flower has a silken sheen and the green tint is quite distinct. Not only a color novelty, but a very fine iris. Again we are happy to be cointroducing NONA with its originator, Roy Davidson. $25.00 |
| From Rainbow Hybridizing Gardens catalog 1963: NONA (Davidson '58) ML-38". May well lead the whole green parade. A great advance in this coveted color class. Has been characterized as clearest & cleanest chartreuse-green yet seen. A tailored flower of perfection done in a light satiny chartreuse. Domed standards, nicely flaring falls; form takes after seed parent. Bred in Eastern Washington with temperatures of -20 & no snow cover. Tweezer-toters already at work; you'll want to join them. Pollen fertile; will pod, tho with some difficulty. HM. Char-Maize X Cloveley. Regularly $3.25; on $10 order $1.95; on $25 order $1.30; 3 for $3.70.  |
