From AIS Bulletin #161, April 1961. Introducing WHITE FROSTING (Swan Ballet x Henry Shaw). A crisp, glistening, pure white flower of great substance. Has a white beard. The buds are tinted green and retain the green on the underside of the falls after the bloom has fully opened. It reminds one of the thick, frothy swirls of stiff, well-beaten cake frosting. The beautifully proportioned flowers have broad, semi-flaring falls and well-held arching standards. The whole bloom is delightfully ruffled and fluted. Has a strong, well-branched stalk and is a good "doer". Midseason. 36 inches. HC 1960. Net $25.00. Dorothy Palmer.
