Hybridizer Clarence G. White --(1869-1957)

Redlands, California, USA

Tribute to C. G. White from The Court Of Iris catalog, 1955: CLARENCE G. WHITE WITH THE GRACIOUS PERMISSION OF ONE OF THE IRIS WORLD'S GREATEST HYBRIDIZERS, WE MOST RESPECTFULLY DEDICATE THIS ISSUE, OUR 1955 CATALOG TO MR. CLARENCE G. WHITE. WE BELIEVE THAT NO AMOUNT OF PRAISE OR CREDIT COULD POSSIBLY BALANCE HIS GREAT SERVICE TO THAT WORLD OF BEAUTY OVER WHICH THE GODDESS IRIS HOLDS SWAY. HIS FORESIGHT, HIS PLANS, HIS DREAMS AND LABORS HAVE BEEN CROWNED WITH AN ACHIEVEMENT WHICH FEW OTHERS MAY EVER ATTAIN. WHEN HE CHOSE TO WORK WITH THAT 'LILY OF THE FIELD WHICH TOILS NOT', HE ASSUMED A LABOR OF LOVE WHICH IS FRAUGHT WITH DIFFICULTIES AND DISAPPOINTMENTS, FOR THE SPECIE ONCOCYCLUS IS PERHAPS THE LEAST AMENABLE OF THE GENUS TO LIVE AND BLOSSOM IN CAPTIVITY. THE MAGNIFICENT BEAUTIES WHICH HE HAS CREATED IN SUCH OVERWHELMING NUMBERS ARE AN EVER PRESENT TESTIMONIAL TO HIS UNWAVERING FAITH, PATIENCE, FIDELITY AND SKILL. IT IS THEREFORE, WITH PARDONABLE PRIDE, THAT WE DEDICATE THIS CATALOG TO A MAN WHO TRULY WORKS WITH THE FORCES OF NATURE AND THAT GREAT ARCHITECT OF THE UNIVERSE WHO SAID "I DO PLACE MY BOW IN THE CLOUD."
