From AIS Bulletin #210 July 1973 Introducing WINTER MAGIC (Tony Ballard '73). M-L 40". Winter Olympics X Rippling Waters. With two Dykes Medal parents, this has to be great. Selected from several hundred seedlings, it has been praised by everyone who has seen it. Wide, ruffled and fluted. Is sure to be a tremendous parent for many colors, including whites with red beards or blues with red beards. A natural to cross with Snow Basin, providing it has pollen, for Snow Basin does not. Net $25.00. Tell's Garden.
