Formerly called Mrs. X is a seedling of Avalanche and Mildred May. It is a sister seedling of Peace when first discovered in the seed bed it was a beautiful single white. After dividing it became a full double. Tall — 40 inches — good dark green foliage — strong stiff stem that stands up straight. Flower full double white with no pollen. Large petals of good substance — makes a beautiful flower. Form is good, more loosely built than its sister Peace. Will make a good cut flower, also good for the garden and show table. Slightly fragrant. Named in honor of our former Secretary, George Peyton.
