Madfort- Madonna x fortunei. Huge white flowers, fragrant. Seedlings are easy to grow. Named clones are Yelton's Choice, Bellfort, Big Bells and White Lily. For a white large growing plant,it's one of my favorites.

Smirnowii-yak- Haag's selection, because they liked this form so much. I grew this form along with Leach's Mist Maiden and unless had tags on the plants I couldn't tell the difference.
|
Gable's Peaches- parentage unknown. A 12 foot plant bloomed for me on Bent Mountain, and put on quite a show in fair shade. I don't know how it would do in more exposure. Probably a smirnowii cross.
|
Mac Kantruss- Heat Resistant.
|
Maxhaem Salmon- The true haematodes from Magor was the pollen parent, and the only thing in bloom when the pollen arrived was maximum, so he used it, and this is the result.
|
Pioneer- racemosum x mucronulatum. Very early and hardy to minus 20 deg.
