From AIS Bulletin #161, April 1961. Introducing FRIENDSHIP '60, HC '60, 36". A regal white, and one that cannot help but make friends for it combines not only loveliness of form and fine plant habits, but produces twice the number of buds of other white irises. The flower is near perfection; wide, finely ruffled, of heavy substance and neatly flared. Exceedingly well branched. $25.00. Joe Gatty. |
FRIENDSHIP was introduced by Joe Gatty in 1960 along with FLIRT, a sister seedling. I preferred and ordered FRIENDSHIP because it combined queenly dignity with ruffling, flaring, and great substance-and most important, extreme floriferousness with excellent branching. I will have more details next year, but I feel I cannot go far wrong, with this quality and floriferousness. [Carey E. Quinn, “The Modern White Iris,” The Bulletin of the American Iris Society, No. 166 (July 1962): 10.] |
