From Rainbow Hybridizing Gardens catalog 1963 WHITE BOUQUET (Hinkle '57) ML-38". A huge creamy white self, even to the beard. Buds & underside of falls are green. So fine that it has often been reported as the "best new white seen." Standards nicely domed; falls have extremely wide hafts, placing it definitely with the truly modern Iris. Splendid substance & excellent branching. HM'57, RU-JC'58. Spanish Peaks X First Affection. Regularly $3.50: on $15 order 2 for $2.45; on $25 order 3 for $1.75.
