My grandfather's name was Odell Julander. Some of his varieties include
Triton, Oraglow, Snow Show, Constancy, Mia Maid, Jodi and others. I'm not

lived near Provo, Utah for most of his hybridizing days, then moved to
Logan and continued his hobby.

I currently live in Logan, Utah, which is zone 5 (officially, but we
sometimes drop to zone 4).
