From Fairmount Gardens catalog, 1948: SUKEY OF SALEM (Nesmith 1946) L. Named for a famous ship that sailed from New England, this iris is as strong and sturdy as that old time bark. A blended self of Ocher-red and rose with a Kaiser brown flush on the upper part of the falls (Ridgway). Not a dull iris for it is brimming with bright blended colors so cleverly intermingled that it is difficult to describe. The flowers are very broad and full, of flaring form and extremely heavy substance. Growth vigorous. H. C., A. I. S. 1945. H. M., A. I. S. 1946. R. 88 1946. 38 in. $12.50
