KALINGA (Kleinsorge 1934) M. 44". A very large cream colored self with beautiful gold beard. The huge flowers flare widely and the stalks are as perfectly branched as any we have seen. Many flowers blooming at the same time on the tall stalks made this an object of great admiration in our garden last year. Highly recommended. $3.50. 1937 Quality Gardens catalog.
