LANCASTER A very interesting new iris. The color is light, rose red, with deeper lines on the falls. These lines are not like haft venations, but seem a part of the texture of the blossom. The flowers are large with very broad hafts, but are a little rough, giving an effect of sturdiness rather than of grace. The substance is good and the height medium, with excellent branching. -Jesse E. Wills, Nashville, Tenn. [Bull. A.I.S. 83:14. October 1941].
 
A fine pink which could have more carrying power in the garden; seemed a trifle dull on a cloudy day. -Ralph M. Schroeder, Warrenburg, Ill. [Bull. A.I.S. 83:14. October 1941].
