"To abandon growing G. Wellsii could not be contemplated. The alternative was to break new ground for them and this was done. The ground has since been named the Gentian Walk and is in the form of a curving path of one hundred and forty feet in length running between two borders of four to four and a half feet in width." Elsie Reford, "Gentiana Macaulayi, variety Welsii, at Estevan Lodge, Grand-Métis, P.Q. Canada"
