A grand pale lavender blue, set with very large flowers, of similar form to Princess Beatrice. It is not quite so tall, but more branching and extremely free flowering. Of strong and good habit of growth. It is one of the best of this colour for massing. (Orpington1923 Whitelegg 1927)

Dominion x

Violet blue - a deep and blue tone. It seems I am not expected to send out violets or blues, though Yeld and Hort and everyone else keeps on at them. I have had very many, and I aimed at deep colour, at blueness and velvetiness and discarded all the others. I have finally kept two, and I think they will prove the best as in addition to its large flowers, good form and height and habit it is a most vigorous grower. (AIS Bull no 47: 'On Varieties by AJB'

AVICE (1920)

TB-W2  (obsolete AIS checklist 1939 superseded?)

Plicata. Too heavily marked to be really effective. (RS Sturtevant; AIS Bull. No 43)
