RUTH GALLAGHER (Cooper, 1946) - Double - White - Midseason. Tall. Cream colored bomb type. Note: This was shown at the National Show at Topeka in 1942. While it did not win any recognition, it was very much admired. Mr. Wassenberg thought it the most distinctive flower there. My note in the Bulletin #87 says "One of them (Dr. Cooper's seedlings) a pure white bomb was the nearest approach to a white Mons. Jules Elie that I have ever seen. It was No. 10. It may prove a great cut flower." Ruth Gallagher as described by Mr. Peyton. Bulletin 103.
