From The Court Of Iris catalog, 1955: DUE WEST (White '34) E 30" (Purissima X Susiana). Unfortunately this white with the faint blue blush shows no evidence of its Onco parent. Interesting mostly to those afflicted with 'Collector's Fever'. $.60
From Fleur De Lis Gardens catalog 1956: DUE WEST (C. G. White 1936) E. M. 35 in. (Purissima x Susiana). A nicely formed white iris of unusual parentage. Should be fine worked with other onco breds. 1.00.
