From AIS Bulletin #313 April 1999 Introducing WHITE CHINA (Chun Fan 1999) TB, 34-36" (81-91 cm), EM. A large, white self, beautifully ruffled and waved, with wide falls touching at the hafts. This aristocratic and captivating bloom displays the fine kid-leather substance one would expect of its Dyke's Medal ancestry, as well as the truly remarkable vigor and fecundity of its pollen parent. Three branches carry 7-8 buds. F86-G-43 (Victoria Falls x Song of Norway) x Knot's Landing. $40.00. Fan's Iris Garden.
