From Melrose Gardens catalog, 1958: PARAKEET (Earl Roberts) 20" (Widget X Welch 444) NET 3.00. (Miniature Tall Bearded (Table) Iris). A new Color and a new Look for the Miniature Tall class. Perky flowers with horizontal falls and domed standards. The standards are amber buff and the falls pastel violet edged amber buff. Well branched wiry stems carry ten buds above the neat foliage. Fine in any way you use it, - in the garden, or in arrangements.
