From Milliken Iris Gardens catalog, 1952: VIGIL (Wills) A charming white, with one of the longest periods of bloom known. This variety starts blooming with the early flowering iris, keeps on with the intermediates and finishes with the late bloomers. All this and heavenly bloom, too-it's certainly worth a show place in your garden. 3 ft. $3.00.
