From Carl Salbach catalog, 1937: MONADNOCK (Salbach 1937). This magnificent new creation, certainly one of the showiest iris in existence, is a real addition to the field. The color, completely new in iris, is rose-red, and is so vivid that Monadnock can be perfectly matched for color at a distance of sixty yards. It is self-colored with yellow beard, and the flowers are simply gigantic. The color by Ridgway Is "Indian Lake", a term in no way descriptive, but we give it merely for those who wish to check it w1th the chart. Bred from Marquita x Dark Knight, it has two hardy parents. It inherits its huge blooms from Marquita, and its height from Dark Knight, and more vigorous than either parent. This iris will undoubtedly ran as one of the ftnest we have introduced, and will unques;tionably be a leader in its class for manyears to come. Late. 44-inch. $20.00.
