From Fairmount Gardens catalog, 1942: WHITE PRINCE (G. Douglas 1940) A lovely iris of warm white with very heavy substance, great lasting qualities, and a longer period of bloom than any other iris in the garden. The well domed standards are cream white with a very light chrome yellow edging. The falls are semi-flaring, of the same color as the standards with a slightly deeper flush of cream at the wide haft. The broad rich yellow beard stands out in contrast to the smooth firm whiteness of the flower. The ten or more flowers are evenly placed on four branched stalks with the unusual feature of the lower branch being rebranched. H. M., A. I. S. 1940. Per. R. 89 1941. 41 in. $3.50
