| GREEN COUNTRY (Rees '60) M. 32 in. Green Hope x Green Pastures. A very nicely formed flower of large size and heavy substance, this is a light leaf-green self, the standards being evenly colored and the falls having a greenish tan flush of heavier coloring around the beard where there is some blue flecking. $5.00.

| Note: The above entry from the Fleur De Lis Catalog shows a perfect example of an incorrect spelling. Notice the iris name was printed as "Green Country" and not "Greene County". Many would think this iris was originated by Clara Rees from California, but in fact was originated by George Rees who lived in Missouri. On a positive note the introduction date for this iris is shown as 1960 from the catalog. This date may or may not be correct but it is information not shown in the 1959 Checklist.
