INTERSTING INFO: From the 1940 Schreiner's Iris Lover's Catalog: We offer this variety as the finest creation in the Intermediate class. It is pure white with absolutely no veins or marks and soft yellow beard. It is good sized and significant is the fact that this flower is broad petalled and full in all its parts. It can be put on trial for rating and will equal, if not surpass, most tall bearded iris, so excellent is its quality. The stems are 32 inches tall bearing 2 or 3 branched stems. Fine leather substance, smooth finish and the flower has a pronounced fragrance of sweet locust.
