From Cooley's Catalog, 1965: MINERAL KING (Gibson, 1965) Each $15.00. A very late, very large and very tall plicata which will bring a thrill to jaded Iris appetites near season's end. Both standards and falls are of huge proportions and the color is spirited and gay — a rich yellow ground bordered deep rose to copper. Standards are almost solid rose-red. 40 inches tall. No. 1-6PA.
