Awaiting original catalog description |
The 1937 Milliken Catalog notes: "EARLY MASS (C. G. White) A tall light blue iris that has lost nothing of grace and charm by attaining height and size. It stands fifty inches tall with flowers in proportion on perfectly spaced branches. A leading iris authority in her 1935 notes wrote as follows: " I cannot imagine any color lovelier than this, it is so smooth and pure. The standards are slightly bluer in tone than the falls . The soft, broad, tapering beard is tipped with warm yellow." In 1936 her notes say: "Must note again the grace and dainty poise of this beautiful flower- also its exceptional blue tone- one stem is 54 inches tall." $5.00" |
