HIGH SIERRA (Gaulter, '67) Each $25.00. We have seen a host of white Iris in our time and there are many truly magnificent ones listed in this catalog. This one, however, is so huge, so flawless and so immaculate that after flowering it the past two seasons we think it superior to any white we know. A complete self, medium late. 38-inch stems. No. 6.3-259, HC AIS, 1966. [Cooley's Iris, 1967]
