References:
| From Tell’s Gardens catalog, 1959: UTAH VALLEY (Tell Muhlestein.) Midseason to Late. 41 inches. (C. Rees's Snow Flurry sdlg. X Violet Grace). Large violet self but the falls have a round white area in the center, so it is done in the manner of Pinafore Lass. Not a fast increaser. H. C.1958. No. WAD56. $25.00 |
| Tell Muhlestein's UTAH VALLEY has long been a favorite in local gardens. Reminiscent of the older PINAFORE LASS in coloring, bright blue with a bold white splash on each fall petal, this one has substance, branching, vigor and height. Plant it as a backdrop for lower-growing kinds; time its blooming to coincide with show dates: you can't lose! Melba Hamblen, "Honors, Review and Preview", A.I.S. Bulletin 164 (Jan. 1962): 14. From 1971 Gilbert Wild catalog: UTAH VALLEY (Muhlestein, 1959) ML. 42 in. The entire flower, with crisp, starch-like substance is large, ruffled light violet, save for a prominent white area on the falls just below the beard. Magnificent in a clump; a startler as a show specimen. Striking and unique. HM 1959, AM 1961. $1.50 |
