Krinkled White (A. M. Brand 1928). White. First noticeable in the bud which resembles the bud of a pale pink tulip just ready to burst. The bud is comparatively small and beautiful in effect. As it opens, it expands into a large flower with great broad pure white petals, krinkled like crepe paper. A most beautiful effect. Stems tall, straight, slender but strong; clean light green. Splendid both as a show flower and field flower. Award of merit, Des Moines National Show. A Brand Division $5.00.
