NATCHEZ TRACE (Wills, 1969) Each $20.00. This rich, velvety red-brown comes from Jesse Wills, of Nashville, Tennessee, a past President of The American Iris Society. He has been breeding a red line of Iris for many years and has several excellent previous introductions in tones of red and rose. This one has rose-red standards, conical in form and closed at the top; falls of rich crimson-brown velvet with smooth, unmarked hafts adorned with a heavy bronze-orange beard. Flowers are very large, the stalks well branched and it blooms midseason to late. 34 to 36 inches. [Cooley's Iris, 1969]
