| From The Court Of Iris catalog, 1955: SHERIFFA (White '42) E 36" (Onco, Regelia and Tall Bearded). A most distinctive Iris whose metallic finish is an eye-catcher. The flowers are of an iridescent purple with a strange cast of blue. It is hardy and increases well. We have occasionally had it set seed. Very satisfactory. $.50. H.M. '43, A.M.'45 |
