From The Court Of Iris catalog, 1955: SHERIFFA (White '42) E 36" (Onco, Regelia and Tall Bearded). A most distinctive Iris whose metallic finish is an eye-catcher. The flowers are of an iridescent purple with a strange cast of blue. It is hardy and increases well. We have occasionally had it set seed. Very satisfactory. $.50. H.M. '43, A.M.'45
From Marble Iris Garden catalog, 1958: SHERIFFA (White 1942). M. 36 in. Metallic violet blossoms with a blaze of blue on the falls. The petals are darker around the edges and burnished with a metallic: lighter shade in the center. This beautiful Iris is an Onco-bred and very iridescent. A lovely cut flower. Each $ 1.00: 3 for $2.50
