|From Fairmount Gardens Catalog 1949: WHITE PARCHMENT (H. F. Hall 1949) 40 in. M.L. This iris is well named for it has the strong substance and impervious quality of heavy parchment. Many white iris are early flowering, but this very large clear white blooms later, thus extending the season of white iris in the garden. The standards are firm and closed, the falls arched and flaring with just a faint flush of yellow around the very pale yellow beard. Tall and sturdy, often with three or more flowers open at one time on the widely branched stalk. Few iris have the strength of stalk, healthy clean foliage and rapid increase of this commanding iris. $15.00
